"the general director of the enterprise, Yuri Grudinin, told reporters that the order for 6 aircraft for the Ministry of Emergencies of the Russian Federation and for 5 aircraft for the Ministry of Defense will be completed by 2018. "...

You don’t know whether to rejoice or resent ... Probably still rejoice, because - it's better late than never ...
And this project was how many years old, and there were an nth quantity of countries wishing to buy this plane, and we ourselves needed it, and even as needed ... Hundreds of hectares, if not millions, of forests are burned down every year, and at this time our BESKI they put out fires in other countries ...

Only one question is unclear - why specifically Do these aircraft need the Ministry of Defense?
There will be a normal fleet of vehicles in the Ministry of Emergencies - so enough to solve all the problems ...

[dmi.pris1]

In general, such a machine, only of a larger size, was intended for the MO .. It seems to deliver missiles from nuclear weapons .. More precisely, the Be200 was created on the basis of this machine.

Absolutely right. Albatros was being developed, a large system. But the Minister of Defense was replaced and many developments were suspended. Well, dear wife Gorbachev modestly so Misha said why such a whopper and all.

[donavi49]

MO buys 2 versions:
2 emergency - with extinguishing system
4 PS - with rescue equipment for MSS

You can be indignant because under the contract this plane should have been surrendered (not lifted, but surrendered to the Ministry of Emergencies) by the end of the 2013 of the year, and all 6 by the end of the 2014 of the year.

The Ministry of Emergencies appealed to the court for 430 million rubles of forfeit, then the court cut to 261,7 million. Then Putin personally intervened by signing an order to extend the contract terms until November 30 of 2018.

[jjj]

Apparently there is a restart of the production facilities of the Beriev complex. Get used to the production car, and then take on promising. Hydroaviation is needed for Russia. We and Moscow - the port of five seas

[donavi49]

So the plant is currently engaged in the modernization of Carcasses + Ilov + the same AWACS will be sawed by 476.

At Be-200, there will be no more 12 ordering machines (if the Ministry of Emergencies / Defense Ministry does not order yet).

Only one question is unclear - but why exactly do these aircraft need the Ministry of Defense?

I don’t want to repeat the rumors, but recently they have been talking about it openly, even in the Ministry of Emergencies, that Shoigu decided to revive the GO troops, especially against the Amur region, where the Ministry of Emergencies, to put it mildly, did not do very well, and the main work went to the military. The Ministry of Emergencies will go under the wing of the Moscow Region and the old Soviet proven structure of the civil defense forces will be revived under the leadership of the super minister, but what? can get better.

[donavi49]

Unlikely. MO ordered 4 from 6 vehicles in the performance of the PS - there will be a salon, slots for equipment, diving, etc. instead of a barrel, and they are not converted into emergency situations.

Two Be-200ES not a shaky force at the heart of GO will be. It’s more likely for the special extinguishing of defense facilities (warehouses, etc.).

[Flyer_64]

For the MO, these aircraft are needed as a search and rescue. But the pace is a terrifying 11 aircraft in two years. Why does the MO still load the plant with something else so that it does not bend. MO rather the Navy, and so failed work on the A-40, it is not clear that with the A-42

[PKK]

It looks solid and reliable, designed for many years. I hope that the Taganrozh residents will support the quality of Irkutsk. One was worried, the narrow track of the chassis, like a Messerschmitt, the wind will interfere with the landing. The water hard worker in a word. Clean Sky.

[Vadim Zhivov]

The news is unambiguously +++. But "whose motors will be" ... And immediately a shade with a minus sign ... The main thing is that the deadlines do not shift ...

[cayman gene]

It seems that the Be-200 D-436 was planned to be replaced by SaM146.

[parkello]

motors there from Motor Sich. co-production

[donavi49]

UMPO + MS - possibly from old sets. Rather, these kits were bought a long time ago, the 2011 contract of the same year.

[parkello]

Well, yes. long purchased, but there are new supplies. money doesn’t smell. but in general they are waiting for their development. already, it seems, even the technical documentation was ready. I don’t know if the prototype is already being tested, but still the first cars with these engines will be a runner (flyer), therefore, all the deadlines have moved sooo right. and so could Motor Sich and heat the money ... but for a couple of rivets dviguny. but Ukrainians probably do not need money. soon the tranche will receive , why else should she work with m.os.c.a.a.l.a.m.i. )))

At bmpd they wrote that the motors for this batch were in the Russian Federation as early as 2014.

[Banishing liberoids]

It would be better if the Irkutsk people collected them further! And then at such a pace the Ministry of Emergencies will receive these planes by the 30th year, not earlier (just from the fires half the country will burn out). In our region, local fires are extinguished for 12 hours! At this rate, all of our Rostov region will burn out exactly a dozen times from fires !!! 12 hours to extinguish a fire in a grove located on the banks of the Don !!! Overwatch !!!

Irkutsk, apparently, is loaded with the construction of other aircraft. Yes, and other enterprises need to be taken out of a stupor! It is hoped that the buildup of Taganrozhites will not be very long!

Well, it seems like they took up this part of the production then.

[niki233]

Irkutsk citizens have enough work, and in Taganrog, consider the new production launched so the news ++++++++++++++++++++++++

[Stirbjorn]

Irkutsk has a large-scale project on the nose - MS-21, all the forces on it. And so Taganrog will come to life.

[rotmistr60]

Beriev’s aircraft are unique and the best of the world’s seaplane seagulls of this class. Yes, and analogues in other countries, in my opinion, were not observed. Good luck.

[Spartanez300]

At our factory in Irkutsk, the assembly of the Su-30cm, Yak-130, MS-21 is currently underway, apparently because of the state order for the assembly of civilian aircraft, the assembly of the Be-200 was transferred to Taganrog.

[Spartanez300]

To create from Be-200 two, three full-fledged squadrons for the country, and they are quite enough to extinguish fires in any area of ​​ignition.

[WUA 518]

Could it be easier to deal with fire prevention? Fire cuts and strips.

[karabas-barabas]

Just wanted to write, you hit the nail on the head. It is the neglected forestry that leads to such large-scale fires and these planes can certainly save lives, but without clearing the forests of dried trees and other works, the fires continued to flare up in disastrous proportions. And it will not be better, because the climate is changing, the dry and hot weeks of the summer will always do their job.

[sabakina]

According to the manufacturer, “the Be-200ES multi-purpose amphibious aircraft is designed to solve fire extinguishing tasks, provide emergency assistance in areas of emergency disaster, search and rescue on water, and medical and freight traffic”

I will express my point of view as a land one and crawling across Mother Earth.
BU-200 is an excellent vehicle for firefighting and delivery of urgent cargo to the mainland. As for rescue on water, the ekranoplan of the "Lun" or "Eaglet" type will be more relevant.
They may disagree with me, but, comrades, speed and once again speed decides whether or not those who are in distress at sea will be alive.

[WUA 518]

Quote: sabakina

speed and once again speed decides

Weather decides everything. Emergencies usually occur in difficult weather conditions. How many times have you heard: The rescue operation was suspended due to weather conditions. That seaplanes that ekranoplanes have limitations on the scale of excitement.

[Zverboy]

Why is the color so yellow?

[bober1982]

The plane is unpainted.

[Thunderbolt]

Primer. Then they will paint and put the stars. It’s good that the stars, and not abroad, will be sold. With such a protracted implementation of the contract, this is the only good thing. You can always agree between the Moscow Region and industry, and the foreign customer would not stand on ceremony, and there would immediately be penalties he rolled the whole contract on his knee. And the state should help a little if there is not enough capacity, then this will be rewarded handsomely.

[sub307]

A highly demanded machine, has 13 modifications including export for a variety of uses.

[donavi49]

Only 0 customers. Azerbaijan turned out to have one advertising board behind its eyes and it refused further purchases.

Everyones Portugal and Italy prefer to write compassionately to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation in case of fires and they send planes with pilots for free. So why splurge?

Even Indonesia is jumping off. In 2015, they already talked about a firm contract for 4 cars, but in the end, Indonesia did not sign. Here are the latest messages from officials (in this case, the head of the UAC):
"We have noted a significant interest [in Be-200] from the foreign customers. Sadly, as for now, this interest has not transformed into real contracts. We hope that a contract for the delivery of planes with Indonesia will become one of the first technical cooperation contracts, "Slyusar told journalists.

[parkello]

Greece wanted to buy, though under K. Karamanlis still. we have practically no airlines on the islands, but they are needed. because ships are not always a way out. but here they could take on two roles at once as a cargo-transport and fire-fighting option. and for the army, they would be useful. we only have Chinooks in the fleet. for the same landing, and this thing can take more than one boat with a landing party on board directly from the sea. well, and plant a clear stump. only the Greeks caved in again. yesterday gavakal with ours on the forum. there was an article about a request for the F-15 from Greece. there our type "patriots" - yes, an excellent plane, besides, we are in NATO, and no one would sell Russian Su 30s to us for 20 lemons ... and in that spirit they were carrying nonsense ... I said, they say the same Germany and Poland are exploiting the MiG-29s with might and main and do not want to say goodbye to them at all, and they are also in confusion. well, then purely Greek mat ... perfect. nobody wanted to argue with me. Meanwhile, our pilots dreamed about the Be-200 and the Su-35, and even wanted the MiG-35. I know for sure, because my neighbor is a military pilot. I once drove him to the airfield in VasilikA (there is a 113 mixed squadron in Thessaloniki) when his wife ruined his car. I know many of his colleagues. but we have traitors dug in specifically. and Maidan and ruin the country as you do not want. wait until, maybe the rest of the Greeks wake up from hibernation .. then maybe they will change the policy. Until then ... we are waiting for the weather by the sea.

Germany gave its 20 surviving Mig-29s back in 2003 to the Poles.

The car is certainly good, with competent guidance in a forest fire, there is a sense ... On small fires, they can bring down the flame perfectly, but not put out, anyway, a person will not pass yet, will not dig in, the fire will not go out .. so these planes are not a panacea, and one of the active fire-fighting technical means, and it is precisely as auxiliary because of its high cost of use. And in small fires, the use of such expensive equipment is not necessary, the ground forces themselves will cope quite quickly. In large fires, it is precisely the massive use of tanker aircraft and helicopters with APUs that is required, but in our country such equipment is often used singly, and the use of aviation in places where ground forces and means have not yet reached is not advisable ... The costs are huge, but the effect zero...
Due to the fact that the Be-200 is mainly used only by the Ministry of Emergencies, this machine is often used for advertising purposes of the ministry, that is, in self-PR. The witness himself, and there are also videos on the Internet, how the plane appears in places requiring active work, but the plane makes a circle, and proudly retires ... Seeing what people are leading in the Ministry of Emergencies, I have not even been surprised for a long time ...
This year, while extinguishing a forest fire, Il-76 crashed in the Irkutsk region, there are articles about this here on the site. But for some reason, the media in some way missed the incident in Portugal, where the Be-200 aircraft of the Ministry of Emergencies were sent. There, the crew somehow managed to hurt the trees, barely made it to the airfield, where they had to repair the wings of the device, there is infa in the internet, with a photo.

You shouldn't be so! The event was covered, incl. both unprofessional and rather malevolent ... If you, dear, worked as a pilot of a multi-ton aircraft in difficult conditions, with no visibility and 50-200 meters above difficult terrain, you would not use the words "somehow managed to touch the trees" and "dragged along"! All the best!

[Letnab]

If I myself had not worked to extinguish forest fires for many years, then perhaps I would not have noted this situation. But even if the Ministry of Emergency Situations aviation is allowed to work below the lower level in case of emergency response, why climb there, from where often only access to the other world comes from? Why strive to become heroes posthumously? After all, the same IL-76 crew in the Irkutsk region climbed in on the orders of their leadership, the result was not needed by anyone ... In flight, almost everything depends on the decision of the crew commander, what decision the Be-200 FAC made when entering the drain, as far as he calculated effects?
I myself am a witness, as we have PIC Mi-8 of the Ministry of Emergencies came to a limited area in the conditions of mildly limited visibility (smoke) in a mountainous area with passing! the wind .... although in my opinion the conditions allowed to enter from the other side, pass over an obstacle and calmly land the car from a hover, loading allowed. In development of the situation, a fair wind carries the car, I see the co-pilot showing the commander to go up (quite logical and safe), but the PIC makes absolutely illogical action, trying to perform something similar to a military U-turn (some gibberish) and we started to crumble, lucky , got out, heights were enough ... And this is not the only case ...
We have our own detachment, I constantly see how commanders calculate approaches to limited areas near fires, water discharges including in the mountains, and at the same time, if they take risks, it’s thoughtful!
