Antonov and Volga-Dnepr have submitted an application for participation in the NATO tender


The Antonov State Enterprise and the Volga-Dnepr Group of Companies submitted a joint application for participation in the NATO tender for strategic air transportation under the SALIS (Strategic Airlift Interim Solution) program. It is reported by the press service of the state enterprise "Antonov". The partners presented to the tender committee wide opportunities for the combined An-124-100 Ruslan heavy transport aircraft fleet and their modifications belonging to the Antonov Airlines air transport division of Antonov Airlines and the Volga-Dnepr Group of Companies. This is the official website of the State Company "Ukrspetsexport".

This Ukrainian-Russian alliance already has a long-term positive experience in SALIS. Since March 2006, under the SALIS program, Ruslan airplanes performed more than 2100 flights, delivered more than 120000 tons of military and civilian cargo to different countries of the world
The use of An-124-100 "Ruslan" in the SALIS program contributed to strengthening the position of Ukraine as a reliable partner in the field of international air transportation. Therefore, today resolving the issue of continued participation of the Antonov State Enterprise in this program is an important state task. “We will do everything possible to ensure effective work of Ruslans in the framework of the SALIS program received fruitful development,” said President-General Designer of Antonov State Enterprise Dmitry Kiva in this regard.

      If you bring weapons and ammunition, then you don’t have to go into the sky of Russia, amer I’ll swear a thread like an old, rusty vigorous bonba stuffed into an airplane corner, supposedly the hero N-sk will be knocked down over Russia by mujahideen. Let their pilot lay the route through Turkey.

      He also did not expect that so many people would not be able to read that VOLGA-DNEPR - Russian company from Ulyanovsk.
      In 2001, Volga-Dnepr was the only airline whose aircraft were used to transport goods to Afghanistan for an international alliance led by the United States. After the start of the military campaign to overthrow the Taliban, the airline took and is still actively involved in humanitarian operations in the country.

      I can also assume that the NATO weapons are produced using Russian gas and aluminum, and these weapons are driven by fuels made from Russian oil, and the IKEA furniture in the offices of NATO generals is made from Russian wood. Moreover, the money received from all this is stored in the currency and securities of NATO countries. I no longer remember the transit of goods through Russia together with the Ulyanovsk transshipment base.
      Stalin probably already wiped the coffin from turning over.
      So there is no need here about Ukraine and its government ...

        For Kievite In general, I support you, but at the expense of Stalin, he at one time worked very fruitfully with America and had almost friendly relations with Roosevelt. So it is unlikely that the coffin will be wiped.
        And on the account of transportation, I wish good luck to Antonov State Enterprise and Volga-Dnepr Group of Companies in the tender.

          Thank. About Stalin is humor. And everything else is ironic about the fact that the world has become much more complex and interconnected today than during the confrontation of the blocs when everyone was sitting at his fence. Even the United States and China, the number one rivals are the main trading partners and are interdependent on each other. I’m not sure that everyone who put the pluses understood my irony correctly and probably took her for the Communist Party’s end position. Otherwise, it is difficult to explain the number of pluses.

            That's right! wink The same applies not only to cigarettes, but also to vodka, beer and other rubbish. People with us - they themselves have the right to decide - what they need and what not! wassat So we have - what we have - every 4/5 - an alcoholic or drug addict.
            And then the people themselves are surprised - where the authorities look, why cruel children grow up, why maniacs and pedophiles around.
            And forbid all this ....... - alcohol, tobacco - the first to trample on the barricades.
            I personally think - for a vodyari bubble - the price should be - not lower than 500 rubles, for a pack of cigarettes - 200 rubles. I would only be for it. Beer is debatable. after all - the 2nd most popular drink in the world - after tea. Drink everywhere. Beer - you need it so - but it’s good enough, and not all Baltic 9 and Masters are strong.
            Cocktails have no place at all in stores - such as Blazer, Jaguar - terrible poison. He drank them many times - when he had been drinking for 3 years - there was a period like this in his life.

          Not only are they going but they have been transported for a long time.
          NATO Strategic Airlift Interim Solution (SALIS) Strategic Airlift Program

          Purpose of the program: ensuring the possibility of strategic airlift of military and non-military cargo using aircraft leased from third states
          NATO SALIS member countries: Belgium, United Kingdom, Hungary, Germany, Greece, Denmark, Canada, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Finland, France, Czech Republic, Sweden.
          Contractor: Ruslan SALIS GmbH (a joint venture of the Russian Volga-Dnepr group of companies and the Ukrainian company Antonova Airlines), headquarters in Leipzig.
          Terms of agreement: 2 An-124-100 aircraft are based on the agreement validity period at the military air base in Leipzig (Germany), 4 aircraft are available on request from the territory of Russia and Ukraine.

          The first contract was signed for a period of three years, then it was renewed: in 2008 - for two years and at the end of 2010 - for another two. In general, the SALIS project was planned to be completed at the latest by the end of 2012. By this time, NATO countries were going to get own strategic military transport aviation, in particular, A400M aircraft of the European aircraft concern EADS. But there was a delay with them, and the SALIS project over the past six years, according to the estimates of its participants, has proved its effectiveness and reliability.
          But, as reported by German media, the demand for Ruslan air transport services is predicted to continue in the foreseeable future. Ruslan SALIS GmbH is going to expand its fleet, including modified IL-76, and after 2013, the new Ukrainian An-70. According to expert estimates, the forecasted market demand is 90 of these machines, while Volga-Dnepr Airlines and Antonov Design Bureau currently have only 17 aircraft chartered for many weeks in advance. This gives reason to believe that in the current tender for the SALIS program, Ukrainian Antonov Airlines (and this company has only 7 An-124 Ruslan units at its disposal) will win without any problems.

    There will be a NATO base in Ulyanovsk, just a base and nothing else, an agreement has already been reached. Foreign ministry officials made corresponding statements on this, shamefacedly calling this a "transit point." It is for air transportation to the Ulyanovsk base that a tender has been announced. Putin and Medvedev are silent about the base, which once again confirms its opening.
    The Ulyanovsk base is on a par with joining the WTO, reforming the army, education, health care, and pension reform. The question of creating a certain "Far East Siberian corporation" is being considered, whose activities in certain areas will not be regulated by the laws of the Russian Federation. I consider everything described above to be inconsistent with our national interests, but at the same time with the interests of a certain group of people who currently control the power in Russia. To put it bluntly, this is all BREACH.
    And more
    We are being led to a situation that has never happened under any Yeltsin. And who is to blame for this? Sobchak? Nemtsov? Other "swamp"? Not without them. But first of all, the so-called "patriots" who are for a "new Putin", for the stability of a churchyard the size of one-sixth of the land, who "won". It is they, like the blind Faust, who stopped the moment when the devils were digging his grave, for the last year they have been driving nails with passion into the coffin of what was once the great Russian Empire, for which they so stand up. These people consider themselves, of course, better than the "liberals." But no. All these skins and rams with the sovereign-Orthodox gloss are not one iota better than the Germans and the Venedict. They are even worse, because with their meanness and stupidity they smear much more holy concepts, devaluing them in vain ...(C)
    Words are not mine, but I will subscribe to every word.

      If the supreme power betrays the people who voted for it, who believed in it (the leader), then something will happen ... it seems to me it will be better than anywhere else.

        Do you still doubt it? But didn’t she betray over the past 25 years.

      Yes. what are these patriots. These are corruptible skins or stupid people. A normal person does not believe in promises, but in his own eyes.
      In my opinion, Russia has a maximum of 5-7 years and that's it. And then all the terms will be combined and the result will be the final dismantling of Russian civilization.

      The NATO base in Ulyanovsk will be, namely the base and nothing else, an agreement has already been reached.

      Let's get the facts. And if you please explain what "base" is in your understanding.

      Quote: Karabin
      The Ulyanovsk base is on a par with the entry into the WTO, the reform of the army, education, health, pension reform.

      Stop the tantrum.

        Wait a bit and there will be a fact in the form of a base.
        What is the difference, how to call the base or point of material support, the essence of this will not change. The dwarf once again complied with the instructions of his overseas masters.

    Dear forum users ....!

    But do not you think that you are inadequate members of society (id ..... you are in the common people)?
    At least another year? :) :) :)


    If commercial carriers are harnessed to the project, then the state authorities have nothing against such transportation.
    The country's leadership has smart people and since they made such a decision, it does not contradict the interests of the country.
    Rogozin is already tired of explaining this to your likes on Facebook :)
    And you again for your ....

    Even Dmitry Olegovich’s daragoi, your brother, already begins to perceive an idiot ....

      When a person perceives others as idiots, and in himself feels superior to society, then one of the three; 1) He is in a psycho hospital, 2) He is an academician, 3) This is a diagnosis of his mental illness! I think the third option is more real! After all, you are not an academician?

      Pablomc,

      But how President Medvedev turned out to be worthless .... it is unpleasant to realize this.
      This person should not have been the face of the state.
      The face of the state should be a bright and charismatic person.
      Personality!

      This is your comment on the previous article ...

    There should be no transit !!! If the authorities, against the will of the overwhelming majority, all the same take this step, it will be another act in the action "Humiliation of the national pride of Great Russians".

      There are many things that the "vast majority" don't understand at all. That is why popular referendums are a stupid thing. populist and dangerous (Zyuganov loves such methods).

      What would have happened if the Greek government held a referendum with the question: "Accept the EU conditions or not?" (And the conditions are a strong reduction in the budgetary expenditure side. I think there is no need to explain what this means for citizens).

      Therefore, the United States has never held a referendum.

      We elected the leadership, we delegated power to them, which means we gave them the right to make decisions for us. So let them take it, but we'll see. In the end, they have much more input to make a decision than ours.

        Yes, all this is an empty chatter.
        Firstly, it is not necessary to say that most support the gnome. The turnout in the elections, it proved.
        Secondly, do not think that people do not notice obvious things.
        Thirdly, you have already delegated ebn twice, you can’t look without tears and a mat.

        Please tell me why Russia makes NATO concessions? What for? What is the benefit?

          And in Syria ... and in Iran ... and in missile defense ... Russia has clearly stated its position ... without any concessions ...
          And what kind of concessions in transportation ... you still need to win a tender for transportation ... Russia does not make any concessions in this case ... Russia should proceed from personal interests ... or we’ll replenish the country's budget here ...
          Can civil flights to NATO countries be canceled ... we also serve the interests of NATO ...

            Yes, in Syria, the position is balanced.
            If you care about the budget, you should not earn and lose markets on transit, the situation with Libya is indicative.

            On missile defense in general, a slurring moo, what is the clarity of the position on missile defense?

            What is Russia's personal interest in building a base for NATO support on its territory?
