Ukrainian "Antonov" want to transfer to the assembly of American "Boeing"

25

For the Ukrainian aviation industry to function normally, dozens of firm orders are needed, Oleg Urusky, Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine and Minister for Strategic Industries, said in an interview with the Ukrainian Army FM radio. During the conversation, he spoke about the state defense order, the Ukrainian space program and shared plans for the American Boeing.

Urusky noted that Ukraine has certain groundwork for possible cooperation with the Boeing company. Therefore, the Ukrainian state enterprise "Antonov" may be of interest to the aircraft building giant.



I do not exclude that during my visit to the United States we will contact Boeing with these proposals, in particular, regarding the possible localization of the production of this company's aircraft at our Antonov State Enterprise

- he specified.

According to the functionary, the Americans should agree to such a tempting offer, since due to the COVID-19 pandemic, people have begun to fly less and the number of orders for new aircraft has significantly decreased. He clarified that now manufacturers are looking for new markets and business opportunities.

We have set ourselves an ambitious goal - to develop combat aviation. I hope that cooperation with Boeing will be most useful for us in this very direction.

- he stressed.

Urusky added that at the end of 2020, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine ordered three An-74 aircraft. In 2021, an order is being prepared for four more An-74s. As for the ordered An-178, the first aircraft will be manufactured in 2023.

In conclusion, he expressed the hope that the satellite for optical-electronic observation of the Earth "Sich-2-30" (stored in KB "Yuzhny") in the year of the 30th anniversary of Ukraine's independence will be sent into orbit.

      Pay attention, as soon as the article about Ukrprom, there is not a single unfortunate one, as blown away by the wind. Neither al k_2, nor binder, nor gorenina. Here about the F-35, somehow it was - also silence

      Yes, so far, apparently not in the know. From the article:

      I do not exclude that during my visit to the United States we will contact Boeing with these proposals, in particular, regarding the possible localization of the production of this company's aircraft at our Antonov State Enterprise

      And it will be a surprise for the Americans. Or rather, honor - the decorations themselves offer their services.

    Manilov: "It would be nice to build a bridge ... and so that men in red shirts would sit on it and sell all kinds of hardware ..."

    The compatriot of the current Svidomo, N.V. Gogol, invented Manilov and Manilovism in his time. The present ones use this invention of their fellow countryman very widely.
    In general - Wanting is not harmful! fellow

    I don't buy Polish GMO strawberries the size of an apple. Can they eat it in Ukraine? And where will they get the money for it?

    Well, what if it works out. If after 1992 they "set themselves an ambitious goal" - to destroy and take away everything that is possible ... Look ... What is the result? Brilliantly!!! Bravo!!! But they said that it was "... the industrial potential of France." And they said on TV: "We are 52 million."

    In order for the Ukrainian aviation industry to function normally, dozens of firm orders and cooperation with suppliers are needed, which are not in Ukraine, and all ties with the Russian Federation have been severed. Cooperation with Western partners is possible, but in fact leads to a loss of independence.
    The production of civil, military, transport aircraft is possible only as an assembly of strangers, which is also not the worst option.
    Rocketry has vague prospects because everything of value - personnel and promising developments migrated to the west and east, but something is still possible.
    Small-scale production of light aircraft, helicopters and drones is not able to preserve and even more give impetus to the development of the Ukrainian aviation industry.
    The main driver of the Ukrainian aviation industry could be Motor Sich, since up to half of the Chinese aircraft fly on its engines, and they can do everything else themselves, and after a couple of years, interest in Motor Sich will disappear.

      Of course the Ukrainians are in favor. Who is arguing? Do Americans have to move their factories to Ukraine at their own expense? It's true? And fix the equipment? And to transfer the employees to the square, Ukrainian specialists in the EU eat coffee and croissants on a visa-free basis in Montmartre.))) What a misery our former brothers!

    So what? Hyperloop has already been built, and you can take up Boeing. And then he, something, slowly bends ...

    The Ukrainian government is hilling its lohtorat. Boeing has enough problems without them. They would have to resume the existing production.

    Regular dreams and self-deception, or maybe a "window" has opened for the next cut of budgetary funds. Boeing, with its current economic situation, is only interested in super-profitable projects and not in benefiting poverty
