Kazan Aircraft Building Plant is increasing the production of Tu-160M ​​missile carriers

Russian defense enterprises, despite the unprecedented sanctions pressure from the West, are increasing the production of modern military equipment, including aviation. Today, Head of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov and Director General of the Rostec State Corporation Sergey Chemezov visited the largest aircraft manufacturing enterprises in the region - the Kazan Helicopter and Kazan Aviation Plants (part of the UAC of the Rostec State Corporation).

According to the press service of Rostec, during a visit to the Kazan Aviation Plant named after S.P. Gorbunov (branch of Tupolev PJSC), the delegation assessed the progress of measures for large-scale modernization and technical re-equipment of the enterprise. This program is designed to increase the production of Tu-214 civilian liners and Tu-160 strategic missile carriers.



In addition, on behalf of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the enterprise resumed production of modernized Tu-160M ​​strategic missile carriers. Currently, there is an increase in the production of "White Swans", which are considered the hallmark of the Kazan Aviation Plant. In the updated version, the aircraft have improved flight and combat characteristics. The designers have laid in it additional potential for further improvement, including the use of promising types of weapons.

These are unique machines - beautiful in appearance and formidable in their combat capabilities.

- the head of the Rostec State Corporation emphasized.

At the Kazan helicopter plant, Chemezov was shown work on replacing foreign systems in Ansat helicopters as part of the import substitution. Here, already in the third quarter of this year, they intend to replace the Canadian engines for the helicopter with the domestic power unit VK-650V, developed by UEC-Klimov. At the end of the year, flight tests of the imported Ansat will begin, the head of Rostec said.

In a press release from the Kazan Helicopter Plant, it was emphasized that the company, following the results of 2022, fulfilled all obligations to customers and fully drew up the production plan for the current year.

    When, as a result, the number of aircraft in the troops will increase from the increase in output, then it will be possible to talk about some kind of achievement. So far, for a whole year, there has been one chatter about intentions.

                A citizen of Russia cannot have hatred towards Russia. For Russia is a combination of people and territory. You can hate and destroy power. Which, according to some, needs to be changed, according to others - to leave. Who is right and who is wrong is hard to say. The question is the number of those and others. But even the majority does not guarantee the right choice. You don't have to look far for an example - Outskirts. The majority, with each new election, chose a worse and worse president.

          An aircraft of the Tu-160M ​​type of year 2 is being assembled. It was necessary to order at the time, 1,5 years before the start of the war. And it turns out, for example, KVZ - the largest helicopter plant in the country in 2016-2017 reached the production of 117 helicopters a year and suddenly all orders were cut off and transferred to Ulan-Ude !!!!! The production of helicopters has fallen to 46 a year, the people have quit, and now again we need 100 pieces a year, but there are no people. The same with the release of the Su-34, they increased the output, but there is no order from the state and the people there quit, the same now they cannot reach the peak of production.

              And what about the chiefs - production workers? They have orders - they work, there are no orders, they fire people.

              To do this, you need to have a civil aviation industry. Military aircraft are finite in pieces, if there are no downed ones .... 100-200 pieces. And then all the same, there will be no order and people will be reduced. And the competence of people when recruiting is not immediately restored. Here, either export will save (which is not realistic with the Tu160), or the production of some kind of MS21 ... and this also applies to the Tupolev Design Bureau. They also need to constantly design something.

            You have been "eliminating" for a long time (what side are you in general), the 90s lasted 9 years, and Putinism has been going on for more than 23 years! For example, China during this time has become 2, if not 1, the economy of the world, and the Soviet Union has recovered over such a period and reached the peak of achievements after the Second World War! And this is not even taking into account the possibilities of the "fat zero" (however, for many citizens in Russia, there was not much fat).

          Yes, I agree, the technique was simpler. But after all, machine tools and other equipment for the production of this equipment were also much simpler. At the engineer: drawing board, pencil, log. ruler. And now - a computer with the appropriate program.

    the production of modernized Tu-160M ​​strategic missile carriers has been resumed.
    I have no doubt about the correctness of this decision, but, as I understand it, the purpose of strategic missile carriers is that, approaching the borders of a bad country, and not being in the zone of destruction of their air defense, launch missiles and return to bases. This has been written about more than once, including in VO. The question is - do we need supersonic and a complex design of a variable sweep of the wing here? Maybe we should focus on carrying capacity, flight range, stealth?

      Supersonic, together with a variable-sweep wing design, provides stealth at low altitudes in the air defense zone. In addition, it is not yet clear whether this is the production of new Tu-160s, or the modernization and reactivation of old ones. And Russia has problems with new technologies.

          24 March 2023 20: 21
          Yes, not a primer, like you. I will explain to you how this happens if you were not interested in such processes 20-30 years ago. Firstly, lowering the flight altitude makes the flying object inconspicuous compared to those flying in the middle and even high flight levels. By the way, this is why all sorts of Shaheds, Caliber, Tomahawks, etc. fly in the lower echelon. This is due to the peculiarities of the propagation of radio waves as ground-based radars reflected from the terrain, and the complication of target identification against the background of the ground by enemy fighter radars. Supersonic flights at low altitudes have been known since the 70s of the 20th century, take an interest in this during a smoke break. However, near the earth, as you know, the atmosphere is not as rarefied as at a height. Fast maneuverable flights near the ground on a wing with a small sweep are very difficult, due to the high aerodynamic load on the wing during maneuvers at low altitudes. Which is fraught with destruction of the wing. Sweep must be increased. A natural technical solution, before the invention of the airframe integrated circuit, was a mechanism for changing the sweep of the wing. In aircraft related to the integrated circuit, everything is decided by the circuit itself. The influxes in front of the wing solve the problem of lift at low speeds and at altitudes where the atmosphere is rarefied, and does not give such lift as near the ground. Usually, at low altitudes, flights are carried out in this mode at speeds of about 1200-1400 km / by fighters and front-line bombers. For the smaller Tu-160, 1030 km/h. This was indulged in in the generation of third-generation fighters and modern bombers, for example the F-111, which despite the "F" is not a fighter at all, like the F-117. In general, if you want to fly fast near the ground while lifting a high load, you need either a swept wing mechanism or an integrated circuit. No, you can do without it, you can immediately make a high sweep on the wing, but then the runway must be built two or three times longer. And near the ground you fly with only one purpose - to deceive enemy air defense radars. Although at low altitude you are difficult to see not only for radar, but also for those who are trying to observe you visually.

        And with new technologies in Russia
        November 11, 2016
        "Ridge" for the Tu-160: how Kazan is re-learning how to cook titanium plates. A schedule for the manufacture of the most important part of the missile carrier, the titanium central beam, has been signed. We are talking about vacuum annealing and welding of titanium assemblies, for which electron beam welding (ELU-24) and annealing (UVN-45) installations were once used. Against the backdrop of a news lull on the topic of the resumption of production of the Tu-160, the factory newspaper Vperyod! reports this.
        In the second half of the 70s, unique equipment appeared for working with 20-meter monolithic plates of variable thickness made of titanium alloys, because 38% of the Tu-160 design was made of them.
        At KAZ, they began to restore unique equipment, which, according to legend, was turned on only at night so as not to de-energize half the city. After the collapse of the USSR, the "titanium" shop was simply "bombed down".
        The beam was milled from two halves and welded into one piece in a vacuum chamber under special additives and fluxes. Popular scientific literature says that such welding still belongs to unique technologies and can be considered a national priority of the country.

        Of course, there are problems, not without it ...
        But only we have a GZ, and the Yankees can’t finish it in any way ...
        We have an RVV DB (R-37M, for example), and the states have not yet advanced further than 160 (?) km with their AIM-120D ... True, they are sawing a new AIM-260 with D = up to 300 km ... but it's still in the project...
        Again, invisibility. On the Su-57, the coating reduces the visibility of the vehicle by 60% (!), And the vaunted Fu-22 and 35 only by 50%...
        Again, our nuclear power plants are the best in the world. Yes, and the Yankees buy the RD-180 from us and have not been able to do anything like that until now.
        But the CEB let us down ... what is true is true. But in this direction began to work seriously. In the meantime, chips with a nano process of 90 and 13 nm fully meet the military-technical needs of our military-industrial complex. Of course, we would like to do better, but we can not yet ...

    For example - you produce 100 aircraft per year. And now the command was given to increase production. You add some percentage.

          The bomb armament of the Tu-160 is regarded as a "second line" weapon designed to destroy targets that survived after the bomber's first missile attack. It is also located in the weapons compartments and can include various types of adjustable bombs, including the most powerful domestic ammunition of this class of the KAB-1500 series with a caliber of 1500 kg. The aircraft can also be equipped with free-fall bombs (up to 40000 kg) of various calibers (including nuclear ones), disposable cluster bombs, naval mines and other weapons.

    I O. should be used in a crowd of new equipment at the western border of Ukraine on its territory. The United States used nuclear weapons. in Japan in order to save the lives of their soldiers, while taking the islands. And the victims could be up to half a million!
    And the West will not oppose anything. Warn - twitch, too, get.
    And you can send more weapons, we will destroy them too.
    And it turns out that Russia has a nuclear deterrent
    that doesn't hold anyone back.
    I think that 1 ct. will be sufficient. And it's better to hammer on the bridge with equipment.

      The United States used nuclear weapons just to try and scare the USSR, neither Hiroshima nor Nagasaki from a military point of view were nothing, however, like Dresden broken to zero, well, it’s like if the USSR took and dropped its first nuclear charge into the swamps Lusitania, to the horror of the crocodiles

      What kind of "preservation of lives" is there if the civilian population of densely populated cities was mostly gouged. The main thing for the Yankees was to intimidate the whole world, and especially the USSR.

    "Ridge" for the Tu-160: how Kazan is re-learning how to cook titanium plates. A schedule for the manufacture of the most important part of the missile carrier, the titanium central beam, has been signed.

    Very interesting. Thank you. We are so often lied to that any victories need confirmation. Thanks a lot for the details.

    Over the past years and even decades, we have heard such statements many times, but unfortunately they are all characterized by very vague terms and scales of production. In my opinion, for serious ambitions, Russia must have at least fifty strategic bombers equipped with long-range ammunition with nuclear warheads. But I'm even afraid to imagine how long it will take Russia to solve such a problem at the traditional pace. And the most unpleasant thing is that even with the outbreak of hostilities, no particular activation (not to mention mobilization) of production is noticeable.

    Tu22m3m are needed like air soldier . 160 rocket launchers and they have where to launch them. But 22s are needed for a full bean load. I still hope and pray that someday the Supreme will squeeze his flabby balls and will into a fist and give the command to fight at full strength. And a regiment of carcasses will pass along the front with odabs and fabs. So that no one could attack there for a very long time. For there will be no one to attack. And the lunar landscape of the area will not contribute to this. Our guys will be much easier

      Not so old history
      In the early morning of August 9, 2008, near the village of Karbauli, Sachkhere region of Georgia (about 50 km north-west of Gori), a Russian long-range Tu-22M3 bomber from the 52nd Guards Heavy Bomber Aviation Regiment (Shaikovka airfield) was shot down.

    Strategists are able to make 2 countries in the world, we are striped. Striped on the way to the rider, but we restored the Tu-160. The difference is that they are riveting the planned 100 pieces, and we have planned 10. Incomparable money from military budgets, they have 800 billion, we don’t know how much, well, 60.

      Somehow they already argued about TU-160 and TU-95, somewhere in the second half of 2021. Main ideas: TU 160 and 95 will not fly far, since they are noticeable by radar plus satellite reconnaissance, and there is little sense from it in case of war, besides, it is impossibly expensive. To which the opponents replied that with new missiles, he would not enter NATO air defense zones and, like, he was needed. However, then it turns out that the IL-76 or 96 can be armed with the same missiles and they will fly in the same way and threaten the "Swede", but at the same time they will be much cheaper. Therefore, more of them can be made.
