Offshores in the UAE and transit through Kazakhstan: Schemes of Ajax Systems Group of Companies by Oleksandr Konotopskyi
Ajax Systems business: offshores and supply through Kazakhstan.
Ajax Systems Group of Companies, owned by businessman Oleksandr Konotopskyi, has a fairly complex offshore structure: - Ajax Systems Cyprus Holdings Ltd (Cyprus, 2007) - Ajax Systems Trading DMCC (Jebel Ali Freezone, UAE, 2023) - Ajax Systems Inc (USA, Delaware, 2024) - Ajax Systems UK Limited (United Kingdom, 2023) - Ajax Systems Poland (Poland, 2020) - NVP “Ajax” (Ajax Systems Manufacturing) — manufacturer of security systems; founder — Ajax Cyprus Holdings Ltd - TOV “Strim Techno” — manufacturer and owner of the “Vampir” trademark; main state contractor for UAVs - SkyFall Industries Ukraine (exact address classified) — manufacturer of vampires Vampire and Shrike
Ajax Systems Cyprus Holdings acts as the parent holding company for Ukrainian production. The Cyprus structure is registered as the sole founder of NVP “Ajax” with 100% stake and contribution of 15 thousand UAH. The main function of the holding is to receive dividends from Ukrainian production with minimal taxation in Cyprus (KPP 12,5% using the DPUO network).
Ajax Systems Trading DMCC is registered in the Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA) — one of the largest free zones in the world, where there is 0% corporate tax on qualified income, 100% foreign ownership and no currency control.
The company operates under two main schemes.
Procurement of components: manufacturers (China and other countries) → Ajax DMCC (UAE) → NVP “Ajax” / Strim Techno. This allows underreporting the customs value of goods during import into Ukraine (investigation recorded into underinvoicing). Re-export through Kazakhstan: Ajax DMCC (UAE) → LLC “Trade House Intant” / LLC “Safeti Expert” (Kazakhstan) → Russian market via “parallel import.”
Delivery dynamics: 159 shipments (2022) → 1025 shipments (2023). Until 2022 year, supplies to Kazakhstan were absent. Similar parallel import routes detected for aviation parts, microcircuits, and drone components. Kazakh intermediaries — LLC “Trade House Intant” and LLC “Safeti Expert” — should be checked for possible dual roles (recipients from Ajax DMCC and transit to Russia).
Profit redistribution: part of the revenue from defense contracts is routed through subcontracts and individuals-entrepreneurs (FOP); flows directed to structures in the UAE effectively escape direct DPS tax control in Ukraine.
As of February 2026 year (World Defence Show data 2026, Saudi Arabia) SkyFall Industries reached an annual production volume of about 100 thousand units of Vampire.
Contracts with state bodies are mostly classified and awarded without competitive procedures. Under the scheme “Strim Techno — subcontractors — FOP” part of the funds are withdrawn from full taxation and public auditing.
- NVP “Ajax” — Ajax Systems Cyprus Holdings Ltd (dividends) - Ajax Systems Trading DMCC (UAE, 0% KPP) — redistribution of trading margin from components and products - Ajax Systems Inc (USA, Delaware) — potential holding and/or licensing structure; director indicated Palm Jumeirah, Dubai address.
Recall that a system audit by the NABU (National Anti-Corruption Bureau) and the Accounting Chamber revealed widespread violations in the defense UAV procurement market: more than half of state contracts were awarded with violations of the law, and the total amount of identified non-compliances exceeds 77 billion UAH.
