Two transport aircraft at once: in Ukraine they showed that their aircraft industry is still alive

28

The journalists visited Antonov State Enterprise and showed that the aircraft industry in Ukraine is still alive, writes the Ukrainian edition of Defense Express.

In recent months, the activities of the Antonov State Enterprise have significantly intensified after the forced downtime caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Employees work multiple shifts to make up for lost time. In the workshops of the enterprise, work is now underway on two short-haul transport aircraft An-178 (development based on the An-158), with a carrying capacity of 18 tons.



The first is an experimental flight model (serial number 001), which is now being replaced by Russian-made parts with products from Western companies. The second is an aircraft for the Peruvian Interior Ministry (serial number 006), the assembly of which is in full swing. It no longer contains a single detail from Russia.

The first plane should leave earlier. Pass flight tests, receive a certificate, and the second car, for Peru, must have all the documents that will give it the right to operate

- said the head of the shop Vyacheslav Lavrinchuk.

As the head of the Antonov State Enterprise Alexander Los clarified, aircraft manufacturers have spent a significant amount of their own funds on complete import substitution.

We are talking about several hundred million dollars. Specifically for this one type of the An-178 aircraft. For other types of aircraft, such work (import substitution - ed.) Has not yet been carried out

- said the Elk.


The video shows that the An-178 is 40% ready for the Peruvian police. Wings are being installed. Stack assembly began in May 2020. Full import substitution of this side will cost about $ 21 million.

In July 2020, they began to disassemble the experimental An-178; now it cannot fly. The footage clearly shows that he is standing with the dismantled engines and the missing tail. Replaced hull elements are visible on its fuselage.

    Very entertaining video. It can be seen that they have forgotten how to assemble planes, however, how to disassemble them. winked They talk cheerfully and enthusiastically about import substitution, but this word only means replacement with components of their own production. According to various sources, the share of Russian components in the An-178 ranges from 40 to 53%. If someone heard about the start of their production in Ukraine, please share information. And then the citizens from Ukraine all boasted about their successes, but they didn't say a word about it, apparently they forgot ... feel
    I believe that we have replaced Russian components with imported ones from Western manufacturers. This decision was reached 4 years ago.

    We will wait for them to produce hundreds of fighters and bombers. We chew snot, supply them with strategic raw materials, petroleum products, electricity, machine tools, etc., while they strengthen their army and teach their people to hate Russia.

      Apparently, you are not aware of the real state of affairs in the military-industrial complex of Ukraine (namely the real one, and not from the media), if you think that we will wait there for the serial production of fighters, etc.

          Hitler lived at a different time and, for a start, crushed all of Europe under him. And Ukraine is owned by all and sundry, and no one there is going to revive the production of something. Even if someone invests and organizes something, the product will not have a sales market.

    Elk says the upgrade alone cost several hundred million dollars. How much will the Peruvian Interior Ministry cost this plane? Such a premonition that this will end in the same way as an attempt to supply tanks to Thailand and the modernization of the MiG 21 for Serbia. In this case, "Antonov" will be destroyed forever.
    Substitution of Russian elements, naturally, not Ukrainian ones. The video diplomatically says "for alternative" (time 1.43 on video). If they were Ukrainian, the video would be in the size of a full-length film, or even a series.
    And it is not entirely clear whether the import substitution cost $ 21 million, or several hundred million $, as Los says.

    The price is generally wonders.

    The contract price is $ 65 million. What then hundreds of millions is Elk talking about?
    The post on the link provides the opinion of the deputy of Rada Dubinsky that the contract with Peru will not be fulfilled. How similar contracts with Kazakhstan, Egypt, Turkmenistan were not fulfilled.

    But what has it to do with ... - "Will fly ... or will not fly; there is a substitution or no substitution ..." ...
    - The main thing is that they love all kinds of Ukraine ... - even in "beautiful clothes"; but even in rags ... - There is no difference ...
    - But Russia, hospitable, ready to sacrifice anything and please the whole world ... - Something no one likes ... - Here the whole world does not love ... Russia ...
    - And so Russia is always destined to grieve without love ... - well, they do not like Russia or Russians ... - That's all ...
    - And then ... - "aircraft ... for the police of Peru" ... - Yes, Ukraine will not supply these aircraft; well, it will disrupt deliveries ... - what ... - Anyway, the Peruvians will forgive Ukraine, loving ... - and will continue to love ...
    And Russia, which, if in the same Peru suddenly there was a flood; or an earthquake ... - a dozen Ruslans with rescuers, doctors, builders, humanitarian aid, vaccines and equipment will immediately drive ... - this Russia ... - still no one will love ... - Moreover ... all these who "received" all these benefits from Russia ... - literally all ... - will simply support any sanctions and any intrigues against Russia ...
    - Such things ...
    - And then ... "Airplanes disassembled ... without components ... etc ..." ... -Yes, who needs all this ...
    - And Russia, where to get the "components" to be loved ???
    - All states have such "components"; but only Russia does not ... - Alas ... and ah ...

      Don't worry, Irina, Russia is not loved by those who were categorically ordered to do this from Washington .... After all, you remember those times, even before Judas Gorbachev, when he ordered our GSVG and ZGV to bring the USSR to the cold steppes in winter, even though we Our brothers in the Warsaw Pact did not idolize, sometimes they kicked up, but they were afraid, and were tolerant, but when the "holy place", which is never empty, was vacated after us, it was then that the Yankees put the ardent Russophobes. In the United States, these are difficult times with their dark-skinned "relatives", and these are just flowers, and God forbid them peacefully hold out until the presidential elections, well, and then there will be a massacre more abruptly than the Ukrainian one, and now everyone is looking at all this mess in the USA their sixes and satellites, and they say - and these Yankees are still teaching us how to live ...

        - Why didn't you give me a plus ??? - Or is it your minus ???
        - This is how the whole parable about peoples who do not want to fight each other ... - after all, they are brothers ... - And when it comes to specific assessments, they begin to put minuses (or pluses) ... - and these are already official actions ... and when it comes to shooting ... - then they will shoot at each other ... - although they talked about brotherhood ...
        - So you talk a lot; but don't put pluses ...
        Once upon a time, "Judas Gorbachev" talked about ... about ... about equality and brotherhood; and then gave the Americans a plus; and Russia (USSR) - minus ... and drove our troops into the cold steppes ...

        The reason for the rapid withdrawal of troops from the GSVG and ZGV was banal. The USSR was absolutely bankrupt and there was simply no currency to support two armies. After all, the salaries of even conscripts began to be paid in foreign currency. So they took them out more quickly in order to delay the beginning of the end of the collapse of the USSR.

          Nobody counts anything. All the countries of the former USSR are sick with Russophobia, and the rest are either afraid of the United States, or they give it to them, or they do not care about it all. In fact, Ukraine is among the outcasts, which has spoiled relations with all its neighbors with its Banderaism. Or do you think that Poland likes Bandera? The fact that for Poland the Russian Federation is a competitor, whom the Poles do not like, does not mean that they are in love with Mazepovites. Using Ukraine as cannon fodder and the six against the Russian Federation and loving it are two different things.

              .. means the phrase: "like you", and not specifically to your personality.
              Westerners have long noticed that this interest in "oneself beloved" on the Russian "fine" soul can be played ... it is enough to recall Bykov in 90 with his transmission, where some creature "appreciated" everything here. As for "you", find at least one reference to "you" in the scriptures for interest, of course, academic.

    Well, what's the catch ?! The first plane, as far as I understand, was assembled before the break with the Russian Federation, and whether the second will be assembled is still a big question. Ukraine purchased avionics and propellers from Russia. Okay, this machine does not need propellers, but avionics is needed in any way, but it must be purchased either in the Russian Federation or in the West, the Bandera do not have their own. The Russian Federation sold avionics at least in bulk, even in piece sets, in the West it is sold only in bulk, it will be very difficult and expensive to buy one set, although it is possible that they will buy used equipment somewhere, like the Poles and start screaming about overmogging. The ability to manufacture high-quality engines for Motor Sich is also questionable, since with the joint production of the An-148 with the Russian Federation, the scrap of spare parts from Ukraine reached 60% or more.

    And what the hell is "import substitution? The presenter herself says that they are replacing Russian with American! Is this called import substitution in Ukrainian? Have they already joined America? So the main thing, the presenter says that it is much cheaper, but how can this be, if the equipment is already standing, but it must be removed and replaced! Do they really take people for idiots?

    The last plane was made in Ukraine in 2015. Five years ago. I have a question - the workers who made the airplanes, they sat for 5 years and in a patriotic frenzy, at their own expense, waited for Ukraine to rise from its knees?

    Since when were Russian engines installed on the An-178? There were Ukrainians in life. So they changed them to PW suspension. This inevitably increased the cost of the aircraft. As, in fact, the replacement of Russian components with Western counterparts. Money was collected from all over Ukraine to complete the construction of an aircraft for Peru. This is where it all ends. What orders is Elk broadcasting there?

    Yes, cheap Russian spare parts can be replaced with expensive European ones, but then the cost of the aircraft will be comparable to the cost of a space rocket. What kind of plane in the world will buy a simple 3-way plane? There are no fools. And what, 2 planes in 5 years will save Antonov?)) As for the vigorous activity of production - I doubt it is rather a violent imitation of activity with the last hope of attracting investment.
