U.S. can't use Russian rocket engines for military purposes - Rogozin

MOSCOW. Jan 16 (Interfax-AVN) - Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said the $1 billion contract for the supply of sixty Russian RD-181 rocket engines to the U.S. prohibits the use of the engines in military launches.

"Naturally, the provisions of the contract with NPO Energomash expressly prohibit the use of our engines for military purposes," Rogozin said on Twitter.
