Russian Defense Ministry will receive the first serial IL-76MD-M until the end of January

The Russian Defense Ministry will receive the first serially upgraded Il-76MD-M military transport aircraft by the end of the month. About this in an interview with TASS said the chief designer of PJSC "Il" Nikolai Talikov.

The army asked us to modernize the IL-76MD aircraft that are in service, and we launched the first serial IL-76MD-M. The customer flew around it in the last days of December last year, the plane is ready for transmission, but they didn’t manage to complete everything on paper. In January, we will hand over the first serial upgraded machine of the Ministry of Defense

- said Talikov.

In 2016, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation concluded the first serial contract for the modernization of Il-76MD military transport aircraft to the level of Il-76MD-M. They will be updated flight navigation equipment, communications equipment, means of defense. Aircraft will receive items "glass cabin", and the designated life will be extended to 40 years.

The IL-76MD modernization program began in 2014.

Good news, a modernized machine and even with an extended service life. This is the main BTA machine.

Good news, a modernized car ...

- And I'm sorry that the new transporters are not released! Although I understand that there is not enough money for everything the army needs, it’s a pity anyway!

I'm sorry

and I'm sorry .... a half-century-old airplane was upgraded ... well, it’s like computers were mounted on the T-34 or on the LA-7 ... we got stuck in the middle of the 20th century with both legs. I understand, right now, apologists of traditional aviation will fly in ... yes, you can’t change the glider, and he will not have nichrome for 300 years, etc. ... but, we are behind TIME. recall when the Second World War ended, and a man flew into space? and what for half a century ???

[Vlad.by]

And, excuse me, C5 Galaxy or Hercules is only 0,5 years old? Why reinvent the wheel when it is possible to put on it an “electric motor and a new traction battery” or a new anti-friction chain together with low friction bearings?

[Lexus]

And, excuse me, C5 Galaxy or Hercules is only 0,5 years old?

What are you talking about now?
When upgrading the S-5, the S-5M is disassembled "to the cog", put NEW engines, electronics, mechanization and the rest. The S-130J is simply a NEW aircraft (from the old only the name and some parts of the fuselage), even the production line is NEW.
Things like a “glass” cabin integrate with SCHEDULED repairs.
IL-76MD-M is a "budget" modification, and it is at least naive to experience pathos in this regard.
If we do modernization, then on the topic of IL-76MD-90, aircraft with high residual life in the format of planned remotorization. And build new aircraft in the format of the continuation of the theme of the IL-76MF. Then there will be at least some sense.

[andrewkor]

IL-76MF - 22nd century airplane!

[Lexus]

And there is. They made a masterpiece at one time ... it is a pity that the continuation did not work out. Still, the S-17, which is “naked” costs $ 300 million, was shut up for the belt. In IL-76 at the time, a unique modernization potential was laid. In Tashkent, they were assembled more than S-5, S-141, S-17 combined.

[Berkut154]

And you do not know that the MD-90 has a different glider? One engine there is not enough ...

[Alex-a832]

With a description of the modernization of S-5, you exaggerated a little. The process you described will cost more than the release of a new one. "Before
screw "they just don’t take them apart - in the West they can count the benefits. But that they upgrade an order of magnitude wider - yes, but the price of the issue will differ by an order (or several). Unfortunately or joy, but we don’t have a machine to make evergreens with big-eyed pyramids print ...

[Vlad.by]

Well, we also have a new line, thank God. After the transfer of production to the Russian Federation.
The PD line will go - they will put new engines. The glass cabin has already been tested. Modifications are also made to the glider, in the same wing, to the ramp ...
What are you unhappy with?

[Lexus]

Why reinvent the wheel when you can put on it "an electric motor and a new traction battery" or a new chain with an antifriction coating, coupled with low friction bearings?

Have you heard about carbon frames?

[Vlad.by]

Not just frames. What do you mean by that?

[Filxnumx]

when you successfully complete the full cycle of tests (resource, operational, etc.) of your "carbon frames" in an aircraft of similar dimension then speak for their use. And if you have already done it: then "materials to the studio!"

Obviously the forum was wrong. The merits of Hercules and other things are discussed in another language and in another place)

[Vlad.by]

Have you forgotten how to read Russian?
It's not about the merits or demerits of Hercules, but that transporters have successfully served for half a century or more. Successful, of course. And of course with upgrades.
IL-76 - just from the category of very successful. Therefore it serves for a long time and will serve even more.
You really go to elementary school, or something. Or to the optometrist before writing opuses ...

[Solomon Kane]

and what for half a century ???

Duc, GorboEBNovskiy period made itself felt ......
20 years with exuberance from the development of domestic aviation throw .....
And this is not only the latest materials and engines, it is primarily the loss of competent, well-trained personnel ......
So. that now and "cancer byzryby ......."

... partly true, what happened was a disaster .... but, most importantly, at least they began to do something ... and the development is underway, probably ... with the staff, .... they even extended the service life, as far as you know .... and yet, whatever one may say, the news is good

[Solomon Kane]

Andrew! Mutually, with the coming!
The question is different, Andrew! The topic moved off the ground, only when Alyosha Rogozin led the association ....
And on the subject of IL-112, it’s like 10 years, he should have been flying ... and a theater of warfare under it, all state tests have already been conducted for a long time ....
So while Alyosha or his dad rule Il lives, but we'll see.

Well, Rogoz is also that bug ... he won’t miss his ...

And why not ask this question to the Americans, who are constantly upgrading the Hercules, 20 years older than our IL. And its transport characteristics are more modest than that of the IL-76.

[Servisinzhener]

What are you! It is impossible! And it turns out that their ultramodern according to some members of the forum transport workers were released 20-30 years ago.

Yes, normal. But the backlog would not hurt.

Who are we? Russia is not the USSR, it is not necessary to compare the incomparable.

[Servisinzhener]

And why is it worse than the 62-year-old C-130, the half-century C-5 and the quarter-century C-17? America is hopelessly stuck in the twentieth century, is it necessary to bring down from this country?
The glider is the same, and you’re right here you can hardly imagine something fundamentally new, but new engines with more traction and lower fuel consumption, a new avionics, a change in wing design and a crew of 4 people, not 6.

[Alexander 3]

Modernization is a necessary step, that is, cost savings.

why a lighter, if you can just use silicon (an armchair) ...

[Vlad.by]

This type of IL-76 is a chair, and C130 even J is a piezo-lighter? Do not tell my horn keys!
Chinese An-12 clones are no less flying than Hercules. Not to mention ...

[Ksi-14]

new ones are also scheduled for years ahead. Kazan stupidly cannot immediately replace all the old

[Don]

Kazan ??? why not vorkuta?

[73bor]

New ones are produced for conversion into "tankers" and I think under the A-100!

[Coconut]

this is good news ... if the Turks do not knock down ....

[Russia]

Work was added to transport workers. They famously transfer troops during exercises, from east to west and vice versa; NATO claims problems in the transfer of its troops and equipment on such a scale and timing.

[pvv113]

assigned service life will be extended to 40 years

40 years is impressive! Good luck to the Ilyushins!

[bouncyhunter]

I am joining! Moreover, the car is a beast, judging by the reviews of those who flew on previous modifications.

[pvv113]

Hello Pasha! Today is 85 years of design bureau Ilyushina S.V. During this period, Ilyushin residents covered all areas of aviation - both civilian and military. And in the Air Force in all kinds of aviation, Il-brand aircraft served! We wish them further success!

Well, in the topic about the Turks greeted but anyway - hello, Volodya!

about the engines did not write anything, the old ones mean stuck?

[_Jack_]

old engines

[faiver]

Well, they burst into tears, the X-135 is older than our 76s and is still in service

[pafegosoff]

As I understand it, the engines remain old - D-30KP-2.
A navigation system and flat screens with computers are good. The main thing in the repair is to check the recheck, strengthen the glider, control systems, fuel. And navigation ... There would be a head. Yes, landing in bad weather should still be jewelry. Although, when I in the seventies looked at what the navigator had in his barn ... Compared to the An-12, it’s a fairy tale. And my favorite one is Il-28. And the navigator’s cabin is as cozy as a forest hut on a very frosty day ... It’s also a glass cabin, only literally. And the ejection seat seems convenient and the stool at the primitive sight without the bulky electro-mechanical computer sight, like the Tu-16.
By the way, the IL-76 in the 1970s had an engine resource of 500 hours (before repair or factory maintenance) and they stood with us - half with the engines removed (7650 series ..)

[Geisenberg]

And why not to the version of IL-76MD-90A ??? Then again, still change the engines?

[Vadim237]

We are still flying in the trash of 30 summer ago - it's time to order new ones, instead of upgrading.

it’s like you gave him a compliment, like a lady?

[Servisinzhener]

Write about it in the US defense min, about their C-130, C-5 and C-17 ,. And then the men do not even know how they are doing badly.

[Vadim237]

In the United States, all these aircraft are essentially new and the engine life has not been used up yet, and these Ilov exhausted the engine life five years ago, since in Soviet times they drove them well.

[Servisinzhener]

And the Americans all this time stood side by side in the deserts of Arizona? The fact that the aircraft began to operate from the mid-70s doesn’t mean that these specific aircraft went for five decades. They could be released in the late eighties and in the nineties and early zero for the most part to stand due to lack of fuel.

[captain]

I read almost all the comments; nothing has changed in Russia. Everything is not so and everything is bad. And I believe that everything is gradually getting better. Slowly but surely.

[pafegosoff]

Yes, no one argues that Change for the better ... Slowly ...
In 1957, 12 years after the end of the war - Sputnik! After 16 years - Gagarin, Zhigulevskaya, Irkutsk and Bratskaya hydroelectric power stations, Tyumen oil (Shaim field), nuclear power plants, plants, loser Tselina (I remember these terrible black clouds of dust storms) ... But twenty years have not passed since the general devastation after war. And how many years have the same "Angara" been soaped with us? Around - half measures, semi-corruption, semi-patriotism of the authorities ...

[Megamarcel]

What? The modernization program started in 2014 and in 2018 the army will receive the first modernized aircraft? Is this a joke or a mistake? FOUR years to upgrade one machine?

[Alex-a832]

As for the "antiquity", I can say that this is a proven and reliable transporter, which copes with its tasks perfectly. New engines would not hurt him. And the fact that most of these cars in 30 years is nothing to worry about, because it is not a fighter, not an interceptor, not a bomber. For the development and construction of a new transporter, it will take him ten years to replace “from scratch”, and this despite the fact that the Soviet (Russian) school of aircraft construction is one of the best in the world. However, it is not a fact that he will be better. And all this in the conditions of a budget deficit, when our Western "benefactors" are trying to strangle Russia. As far as I know, in terms of modernization, the start of the program is an order of the Ministry of Defense, followed by the development of modernization plans and technical specifications, design, examination, design, budget planning, when the design documentation is ready, and then the modernization itself. Three years for such modernization is quite an ordinary term.

[pafegosoff]

"The first production aircraft made its first flight on May 5, 1973"

[Servisinzhener]

And now what? Most likely he was sawn for scrap for a long time because of the exhaustion of the airframe resource.

[Cradle]

It would be necessary to borrow from Serdyukov and Vasilyeva, maybe then they built new ones ...

[kaschey]

Novozhilov and Ilyushin created a masterpiece of engineering!
I think now, Novozhilov’s hatch would not have crawled through.
It will be in demand for another 30 years and naturally it is necessary to modernize it.
There are no replacements for him in the near future.
