November, the Aviastar-SP plant, 29, rolled out a new Russian tanker aircraft IL-78М-90А. The air tanker is a modification of the IL-76MD-90А transport aircraft and must eventually replace the IL-78.

Already with new PD-14 engines

The 90A index in the aircraft name indicates the presence of the PS-90A engine.
Do not mislead people.

Sign event.

The air tanker is a modification of the Il-76MD-90A transport aircraft and should eventually completely replace the Il-78.

The need is long overdue. But now it’s necessary not only to replace the IL-78, but to organize at least several regiments. For one country such as the Russian Federation, and such aviation alone - the only regiment in Diaghilevo is not even funny.
