The Russian Ministry of Defense decided to extend the life of the An-22 Antei aircraft

Russian Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov decided to extend the life of one of the oldest Russian Air Force aircraft, the An-22 Antey, until the 2020 of the year, Izvestia writes.

An-22 aircraft were mass-produced in Tashkent (TAPOiCH) from November 1965 to January 1976. As the representative of the Russian Air Force said, in order for the car to fly into the air, it needs to change the engines, chassis, and also prepare the pilots.

However, the propellers for these machines are no longer produced, so the Anteis will fly with old propellers, which can fail at any time. "The main problem" Anthea "- propellers. Previously, they were produced in Stupino, but in 1990-e production was closed. Those that stand on old cars are cracked and metal fatigued, ”said an Air Force spokesman who is familiar with the state of Anteyev Park.

As explained by the representative of the Ministry of Defense, the main reason for which the outdated An-22 decided to return to the sky is the heavy traffic of the An-124 "Ruslan" fleet in commercial traffic. Now the An-124 Russian Air Force is carrying out commercial orders at JSC 224 Flying Squad, which is likely to participate in the transportation of NATO cargo through Ulyanovsk. “These transportations, of course, bring profit to the Ministry of Defense, but the Air Force needs a heavy transport worker for its needs, and they are all busy. During 2011 – 2012, An-124 did not make a single flight to meet the needs of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, ”the source said. He added that the Il-76, which the Russian Air Force has in abundance, are less effective than the An-124 and An-22 - they are less load-carrying, and besides, large-sized cargoes do not fit into them.

Now in the Russian Air Force is 24 "Antea": six - in the mode of limited operation (cars fly 1 – 2 times a year), 18 also stand on the joke.

In the Antonov state enterprise, which is the manufacturer of Anteyev, they explained that they are now negotiating with the Russian Defense Ministry to extend the life of the An-22, which end in the 2013 year. Together with the Russian side, a “Program of work to increase the service life of aircraft that have been in use for over 40 years” has been developed. It focuses only on work on An-22. It is planned to carry out work on the extension of the service life of machines to 50 operational years. The works will be carried out at the 308-m Aviation and Repair Plant (Ivanovo city). Now the program is being negotiated, - said the representative of the SE "Antonov".

    Now the Russian Air Force An-124 is fulfilling commercial orders at the 224 Airborne Troops OJSC, which, most likely, will participate in NATO cargo transportation through Ulyanovsk. “These transportations, of course, bring profit to the Ministry of Defense, but the Air Force needs a heavy transport for its needs, and they are all busy. During the 2011 – 2012 years, An-124 did not make a single flight to meet the needs of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, ”the source said.

    This is tin !!! Minus me fools! Is this a rearmament? Serdyukov, where are the grandmother's affairs? An - 124, we are thinking of producing or not, but we collect rubbish at the airfields. Dad says a normal plane but s / h can not be found on it, but with screws in general a pipe.

    "The Russian Air Force is less effective than the An-124 and An-22 - they are less carrying capacity, and besides, they do not fit bulky cargo."
    that's bullshit. Il and Ruslan of a different berry field, and solve different problems, if Russia wants to remain in the market of large-sized transportation, then you need mriya and Ruslan! Moreover, if Russia needs a cosmo then Mriya and Ruslan can’t do without it at all! But comers rule the balls, so ...

      Klim, only +! good

      They are forced to do this because he came ....... yes, yes, he came, in connection with the Taburetkinski reform!

      "Uryakalki" never thought about the size of our country, or the length of our borders, but stupidly cut and cut everything and now for the operational transfer of troops and equipment to some area from somewhere. after all, only 85 brigades for everything (!!!!!) turns out to be practically nothing.

      And the hat Taburetkin planted, like, we’ll transfer personnel to the Il-76’s, and they will take equipment and weapons from the warehouses for conservation ?????? Well, what can I say ????

      And strangely enough, but Taburetkin still rules and arranges his VKG ???

      And the last paragraph in the article is very ... clumsy. Well, this is out of ignorance, because MO to extend the life of aircraft by increasing their assigned terms and resources for operation has nothing to do.

      This is only the internal affairs of Antonovtsev and a bit of our FAS, and I am the old. GSVTMTRF my tongue does not turn .. until now.
      And then in terms of what the FAS will allow or not.
      For this reason, by the way, many comrades fled from registration in the Russian Federation, but became in Moldova, and even earlier were with the Georgians, on the An-12's !!!

      And on IL-18th, I already wrote everything before. Engaged in all, because. for now there’s nothing and will not begin to carry out combat missions, but for Taburetkin this is all .. until the bulbs ... furniture is in priority!

      By the way, we tried to do this back in 2002-2003, i.e. reanimate An-22-e, because they are in demand and very reliable, like all Antonov cars, but ....... they did not need it !!!!

        Yes, I do not argue about the reliability of the machine, I’m talking about the fact itself, the machine that the old ones are going to extend, they don’t make spare parts for it. Reliability is reliability, but metal has not yet been canceled by metal fatigue.

          He has been appointed to the An-12s until the age of 50, and now they are preparing a Decree of up to 55 years, so everything is fine here!

          but there’s no doubt that there is no age-related machine, but ..... it’s only for the goofs ... good news and now we have them, but in fact there are no new IL-476s, An-124s aren’t, An- 70s not. all the projects and plans for .... the eleventh and 20th year ... everything, but it is necessary now, at least for a year or two years!

            Yes, there are enough old-fashioned vehicles, both An - 12 old men and 76 are not young, but at least they are being operated, IL-18 is still flying in the fleet. What they decided to increase the service life is only on paper, but what should the mechanics do?

            P. S about the idiots is already sorely filled to be honest, there are people who have opinions ...

          Airbus Military confirms that first four new generation A400M transport aircraft will be delivered to customers exactly on schedule

          Airbus Military has provided engine manufacturer Europrop International (EPI) with everything needed to investigate causes and correct problems. EPI studies have shown that the problem will not affect the entire engine design and that problems were caused by cracks in the cover and the release of mechanical particles inside the propeller gearbox. EPI has already made a new design, which is currently being tested.

          Consequently, MSN6 engines, as well as all mass-produced engines, were sent back to EPI to replace the cover in order to resume functional reliability tests as soon as possible.

          Then civilian and military certificates of initial operational readiness will be obtained, the schedule for the delivery of the French Air Force of the first aircraft (MSN7) is postponed to the second quarter of 2013. Despite this, the general plan for delivering four aircraft to customers in 2013 will be implemented. There are minor shifts in the delivery of the second French aircraft (MSN8), while MSN9 (the first Turkish aircraft) and MSN10 (the third for France) will be delivered before the end of 2013 in accordance with the previous delivery schedule. Subsequent deliveries in 2014 and beyond will continue as planned.

          Other tests, primarily testing military capabilities and systems, are proceeding normally; Grizzly aircraft flew over 3700 hours in almost 1250 flights.

          The first three production cars for customers are currently at the final assembly stage in Seville, another 10 aircraft are at various stages of production.

What are they feeding us for pills? As my doctor friend said: "More than 500 people die every year from the flu" just think about the figure "And we are dripping some Crap against polio, etc. What's dripping? Has anyone checked ???" Damn it may not be the topic, but it's worth considering! Amer once dripped to the Indians, when the wars did not bring any victories, and so after the Indians had "dripped" infertility appeared in both men and women ... and the Indians gradually died out!

    On the one hand, the kag-bee news is good - the BTA veteran remains in service ... But on the other hand, it is not funny if the sides released the most knowledge in 1975 still do not have a full replacement ...

    I will repeat myself, however, because I have voiced this idea more than once in the topics of the site - our VTA needs a transport vehicle with a carrying capacity of 80-90 tons. In other words, an analogue of the American S-17 "Globemeister-III" ... Be that as it may, the workaholic Il-76 does not cover the entire range of freight traffic. And the fact that the veteran An-22 is left in the ranks is another confirmation of this ...
    I hope that by 2020 we will nevertheless have developed and put on the wing a worthy replacement for the Antey. Moreover, both in the Ilyushin Design Bureau and in the Antonov Design Bureau at one time (Soviet, of course) work was underway on an 80-ton "truck". So there is some groundwork. And this is already a plus ...

    Before 2020, more than 40 new military transport aircraft IL-76MD-90А will be delivered to the Air Force of Russia
    The Il-76-MD-90А differs from the frontline IL-76МD with a new modified wing using long caisson panels with new engines, an upgraded fuel system, a digital aiming and navigation system and an automatic aircraft control system.

    At the same time, the IL-76MD-90А is planned to be used as a platform for a promising tanker aircraft and a new aircraft RLDN A-100.

    The IL-76 is the main most popular military transport aircraft of the Air Force of Russia. It is intended for the transport of military goods and military personnel to their destinations, as well as their landing.

    At the same time, the Il-76 tanker aircraft and the A-78 radar patrol and guidance aircraft (RLDN) were created on the basis of the IL-50.

    To improve the operational take-off and landing characteristics, as well as increase the maximum take-off weight of the IL-76, it was upgraded to IL-76M, IL-76MD and further to the IL-76-MD-90А version.
