Mishustin inspected the model of Russia's first high-speed train.

During his visit to the Innoprom-2026 international exhibition in Yekaterinburg, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin viewed a model of Russia's first high-speed train, which will be capable of reaching speeds of up to 400 kilometers per hour. He noted that the project is progressing well.

Speaking about high-speed railways, the head of government stated:

One of the key challenges was the organization of the high-speed railway.

Mishustin called the production of such trains unique. He was shown a display where interior elements of passenger cars were on display. The modern cladding, well-designed lighting, and comfortable tables for passengers are particularly striking.

Another model depicts the train production complex itself. Construction has begun at the Ural Locomotives plant in Verkhnyaya Pyshma, Sverdlovsk Oblast. It will consist of five buildings with a total area of ​​67 square meters.

The models were demonstrated by Sinara Group CEO Viktor Lesh and its president, Mikhail Khodorovsky. The Ural Locomotives plant is part of this company.

Construction of the cars for the first two high-speed trains is expected to be completed by the end of this year. Of the 16 car bodies, 12 have been welded, painted, and handed over to assembly workers. The remaining four are in storage at the stowage stands.

And next year the compositions will begin to be assembled and tested.

And they didn't give it a go? More promises in the hope of big money.
Where can he accelerate so much and quickly reach the end point safely?!
For such trains, reliable infrastructure is needed first: tracks, switches, signaling, and only then the trains themselves!

[Coconut Tima]

I don't know about Moscow, but in St. Petersburg construction is in full swing.

[kdale1980]

Have you heard about the Moscow-St. Petersburg high-speed rail line under construction? It's supposed to be completed in two years. So, given the time for testing, the trains will be ready. And given the scheduled service intervals, there will be a lot of trains.

[Arkady007]

In my opinion, during a period of military action, as Peskov said about the war with NATO, the high-speed railway should not be a priority for a state that has major problems with fuel and energy.

... and there are also problems with incoming enemy UAVs!
They'll fly by, drop an explosive device on the inter-station track, and you can't install cameras every 100 meters, and that's it!
They fly to cities, but to a highway like this they will fly like fat flies to famous piles.
So there is no need to rush with these trains until the SVO is over.

[Alexey Lantukh]

The most expensive thing on a railway is the track infrastructure with all station facilities, power supply and signaling systems.

[pexotinec]

Will a painted nut soon be called unique? What's so unique about it? Clearly, Mr. Mishustin hasn't seen high-speed trains or their production.

[marchcat]

In China, no one pays any attention to this anymore because they've gotten used to it, but here we're still looking at mock-ups...

[FoBoss_VM]

So, this train that Mishustin was shown is 80% Chinese. I recently read a list of its components and mechanisms, and they list their origins. Almost everything is Chinese. It's a disgrace.

[VyacheSeymour]

He was shown a display where he could see elements of the interior of passenger cars. The modern lining, well-designed lighting, and comfortable tables for passengers were striking.

This is the main thing!!!

It is assumed, but:

Something doesn't add up in these phrases?!
Have the railway tracks for such speeds already been laid?

[Coconut Tima]

Construction of a test section for the future St. Petersburg-Moscow high-speed railway (HSR) is nearing completion on the Sablino-Tosno section in the Leningrad Region. This section will be used to test ballastless track—a design in which the rails are laid on special concrete slabs rather than the traditional crushed stone. This technology ensures greater stability and allows trains to travel at high speeds.

Citizens were shown a model of a modern country, but the model never went into production.

[Mazunga]

The models are usually beautiful, shiny, and have no analogues in the world.

[vitaliy20091959]

Layouts, then a forum, then a round table and a concert, hurray!

[Nikolay Kiselev]

Wonderful comments. But I heard them once before. There was also discussion of the impossibility of some kind of bridge.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

The chosen Moscow-St. Petersburg route is a bit of a bummer, as the Sapsan train already operates there, offering fairly high speeds. Strategically, the route to Nizhny Novgorod and further on to the Urals and the Far East is more important.

[Konstantin Traflyalin]

They'll switch to the Nizhny Sapsan once the St. Petersburg-Moscow high-speed rail service launches. I think it's one of the few correct decisions. Given the aircraft shortage, it will also free up capacity for other routes. And from there, they might even extend to Kazan. Beyond the Urals, passengers are still better off flying.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

I'd like to dream about a route like Smolensk-Bryansk-Orel-Lipetsk-Tambov-Penza-Samara-Ufa.
The centripetal scheme, where everything goes through Moscow, has always been bad.

[Alexey Lantukh]

In fact, the Moscow-St. Petersburg line was already overloaded during Soviet times. When the high-speed ER-200 trains were running, traffic in that direction practically ground to a halt. Freight trains were squeezed in. ER-200s traveled along the line at an average speed of 160 km/h. Naturally, they entered stations at reduced speed. In fact, even back then, the Moscow-St. Petersburg line was already being considered for an additional track. Nowadays, freight traffic has certainly decreased due to the presence of road transport.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Consider yourself convinced.

[rocket757]

Just in time... we don't have any more problems... anywhere, none...

[Prisoner]

Why all this crap? Wouldn't it be simpler and cheaper to just churn out medium-haul aircraft?

Infrastructure is now being built at a Stakhanovite pace.
There's just one question that's bothering me... what the hell is all this fuss about, especially with such pomp?
It'll essentially be a giant railway carriage for members of the public. With tickets priced around the national average salary, if not higher.

[SergeySmirnov3663]

It would be better if the refineries were repaired. That would solve the fuel crisis.
Fuel cards through government services.
Are there no other problems in the country other than the high-speed railway line?

[Neptus]

It's better to stock up on dung for the winter than to talk about the development of rail transport.

Well, they started building this high-speed missile system long before the problems with the oil refinery. So why throw it away now?
Although I am in favor of postponing the high-speed railway by 20 years, otherwise life in my village will be much worse because of this construction.

[Mint Gingerbread]

For the dumbfounded doomsayers and the swashbucklers on the site, projects are financed long before implementation, and are in no way connected to the financing and protection of oil refineries.

More bullshit. Just like with the planes.

You probably have worms if you see noodles everywhere.
Your body is simply sending you figurative signals.

[Sir Galant]

For about 30 years now, things haven't progressed beyond mock-ups.

[Neptus]

The Moscow-Leningrad expressway would be even faster, but you're still stuck in childhood images. Are you in a coma?

[Sir Galant]

There are no pictures in your head. They apparently come to you constantly. You're probably in a coma if you don't read the newspapers. Leningrad was renamed on September 6, 1991.
