      The plane is magnificent, the resource for modernization is huge.
      I think it will bring quite a few benefits to Ukraine and Russia. This is one of those threads that unites us and let it become stronger.

      Two years of this news - the Ulyanovsk aircraft manufacturers back in 2010 talked about having the opportunity to resume production of the An-124-100. And it is the Moscow Region that drags out the issue. Renewal requires $ 500 million, that is, 40 cars, and the Moscow Region as always was not decided ..... without a kick.

        Vadim, welcome, +! Well, you can say one thing, but in reality ..... things are still there and until 2016 there will be no movements on the An-124-m ..... ..... honestly ... I would kill!

        Here's another piece of news ...

        The new An-70 military transport aircraft with the participation of the RF Ministry of Defense will be assembled in Kazan, Vyacheslav Boguslaev, chairman of the board of directors of the Ukrainian Motor Sich JSC, told reporters.

        “As Russian Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov confirmed to me, who was in Kazan and assured us that a decision had been made, I think that it was agreed at the highest level,” Boguslaev said.

        "I also believe that only the Kazan Aviation Enterprise is able to cope with the task of producing the An-70 program without prejudice to other projects," said the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Motor Sich JSC.

        An-70 belongs to a new generation of medium-range military transport aircraft with short take-off and landing. According to its characteristics, it is intended to ensure the delivery of almost the entire range of army weapons and military equipment with a total weight of 35-47 tons per 3 thousand - 5,1 thousand kilometers, with a cruising speed of 700-750 kilometers per hour.

        In March, the Ukrainian State Aircraft Building Concern Antonov and the Russian United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) agreed to begin production of An-70 aircraft at the Voronezh Aircraft Plant.

        That is, Mr. M.Sh. convinced, because the grandmother of Kazan is needed than Voronezh ???

    Somewhere in the beginning of 2000, my friends went to Ukraine at Motor Sich OJSC
    The first words that they said upon arrival, that there is such an ass that the company is simply bent. Now I read and hardly believe that this company can do anything without investing in it well, as I understand it, it fell apart for 20 years, and can’t get it out of there in a year or three

      It is not true. In the 2000s, it developed normally. Motor Sich not only produces but also services motors. And many helicopters and all AN-brand aircraft were equipped with engines for their production. In Soviet times, Anov was produced a lot. They also make engines for pumping gas in gas pipelines. On the shore of the Sea of ​​Azov there is a recreation center for this enterprise. Motor Sich makes engines a year more than all Russian enterprises combined, at least in the 2000s did, now I will not say.

    and here’s bad news, the Accounts Chamber announced the possible death of the SSJ-100 project
    10:44 23.07.2012 источник http://www.km.ru/biznes-i-finansy/2012/07/23/sukhoi-superjet-100/schetnaya-palat
    a-zayavila-o-vozmozhnoi-gibeli-proekt


    Sukhoi Civil Aircraft (GSS) does not have enough money for mass production of Sukhoi SuperJet 100 aircraft. This follows, according to the Vedomosti newspaper, from the report of the Accounts Chamber of Russia.

    According to the financial control authority, the manufacturer of the airliner used up a significant amount of its own and attracted funds and did not have money left for mass production of aircraft.

    The newspaper also notes that the government is not fulfilling its obligations to finance the production and maintenance of engines for the SSJ-100. Instead of the planned 8,4 billion rubles, only 3,4 billion rubles were allocated from the budget.

    According to the publication, from 2003 to 2010, the government allocated about 100 billion rubles for the construction of the SSJ-16,9. Private companies invested 27,1 billion rubles in the aviation project. In addition, 800 million rubles went from extrabudgetary sources to SuperJet. However, after GSS received a certificate of airworthiness in 2011, funding for the project ceased. In this regard, the Counting Board stated that the creator of the SSJ-100 is on the verge of survival.

    The Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Company was founded in 2000. According to the financial statements for 2010, the revenue of GSS amounted to $ 1,5 million, and a net loss of $ 6,8 million. In early May, a SuperJet crashed in Indonesia with 45 people on board. After the crash, some of the airlines that made an application for the purchase of the airliner refused to purchase it. Other carriers did not change plans to replenish their fleet with SSJ-100 aircraft.

    Finally, it seems that it’s time to attend to heavy trucks. And then the moment came that the aircraft could be left without replacing the engines. Or did the opening of transit through Ulyanovsk and the Volga-Dnepr contract for transportation forced them to invest in the engine? I think there is a connection. Sincerely.

    My father put a hand, or rather a head, to the creation of the composite from which these planes are made! Proud of dad, lads!
