A very necessary "cow" in the troops ... Roomy, tested, reliable! Few of them for some reason ..

The rotorcraft is very serious! And the fact that they are upgrading in general is excellent - there is no reason to scatter such unique machines. They will also serve and adversaries will lose their nose!

All these innovations are definitely needed, this will solve one of the “shortcomings” of MI-26 — the number of crew will be reduced, and this is an important point. But the main thing is ahead - we are waiting for our engine.

The mood improves after such news, but after all, there are no more such machines, the existing ones are being modernized. And I would like to modernize the quantity

[donavi49]

Not. This is a new building. In general, there are a lot of new 26 buildings:

Just MO refused to order the classics (old board). And T2 became interested - which was done for the same Algeria. There are a lot of innovations. And he gave out the task - judging by the plans to shoot back on tests by the end of next year - the task is close to the Algerian T2.

and why the Mi-26 will not make a rear ramp like the latest versions of the Mi-8?

[kefan]

Very good news, the car is very good and reliable car.

[Mountain shooter]

And how are the engines? I hope the engines are sorted out too, and the upgraded helicopters can get more powerful engines.

Excellent spinner. I managed to visit it. The problem of engines will be difficult to solve. PD-12, I think it will take a long time to finish. If you recall the path of PS-90, the debugging took 15 years. And then, helped Pratt-Whitney.

How much I do not look at this trochanter, everything does not fit in my head, how can this whopper fly? Breathtaking! Our designers have something to be proud of ...

[vvv-73]

Yes, I saw these fools in the army, how it starts to take off, so hold the hat with your 2nd hands.

[NordUral]

What can I say, but wish good luck! A unique helicopter - it has no equal in the world so far.

Russian Helicopters Holding will begin the modernization of the Mi-26. And the Sukhoi company will provide us with 5th generation airplanes, and the USC will build the coolest aircraft carrier from the sight of which they will certainly justify .. they will, and our space bombers will surely scare the whole planet and spaceships will plow for some reason distant galaxies, and ours retirees will travel around the world because they have nowhere to put their money, have not forgotten anything? I CAN ALSO GUIDE THAN ANYTHING SIMPLY TO TELL PEOPLE TALES IN THE FUTURE TIME.

The only thing I did not like was that after takeoff from the factory airfield, the U-turn was most often towards the city center. And even off topic - the liners sitting down over the city center also look creepy. But there is at least a prospect - an airport named after Platov. But a helicopter is almost in the center of the city - a problem.

What is there who will build - it is still unknown. But the modernization of MI-26 is quite real. There is a design bureau; there is a plant. Moreover, judging by the statements - this modernization essentially already exists - Algerian order
