The head of the Ministry of Health will order for the needs of the Ministry of Falcon instead of SSJ-100

9
The head of the Ministry of Health Veronika Skvortsova suggested that the government purchase a French-made Falcon 7X aircraft for the Federal Medical and Biological Agency (FMBA), which is part of the Ministry of Health. It is reported RBCreferring to informed sources.



Skvortsova considers the purchase of a French aircraft more appropriate than the acquisition of the Russian SSJ-100. She explains her choice by the fact that the technical characteristics of the Falcon 7X are more consistent with its use as an ambulance aircraft. In addition, its cost is lower than the price of a domestic aircraft.

At the moment, FMBA does not have its own aviation. They plan to equip this organization with one aircraft. They are going to use it for sanitary evacuation by air.

Preliminary negotiations regarding the purchase of the aircraft from the Sukhoi Civil Aircraft company, which produces the SSJ-100, were carried out, but the Ministry of Health chose to purchase a French aircraft.

Although the Falcon can only accommodate 19 passengers versus 108 that the Sukhoi Superjet can carry, it has significant advantages in other respects. French aircraft have greater speed and range. In addition, he does not need a long runway to take off.

The aircraft is planned to be used for urgent non-stop evacuation of victims to clinics in Moscow and St. Petersburg from the Far East, the Far North and other remote areas.

    But is this not administrative for the transportation of ministry employees? Where does the information come from that the small business jet is going to be used to transport patients? We have such aircraft seemed to belong to the Ministry of Emergencies.

    Well, if the government buys foreign aircraft, to the detriment of domestic ones (by the way, the Superjet cannot be called domestic either, most of the structural elements on it are foreign), then what to ask from airlines ...

    couple, I doubt that the ministry’s aircraft will be used for evacuation! Rather - for picnic flights in the Canaries! And Falcon probably has a luxury modification for the strong and wealthy !?
    so who do you want to deceive, Skvortsova? But do not you go to the collective farm of the Novosibirsk region. as a local model?

    You TTX read them. Absolutely different planes! And if you need Falcon, then why spend money on a Superjet?
    It’s the same as using double-decker accordion buses instead of ambulances.

      Are you really so naive that you believe that the plane of the federal ministry will carry diseases from Siberia? But it seems to me that they use it for the entire top to travel to "meetings" in the Seychelles or the Canary Islands.

        We are not talking about "diseases from Siberia", but about the victims who need urgent help from the capital's specialists or the equipment of the capital's medical centers to carry out complex operations.

        How Falcon will be used depends on how the salon will be equipped. Something tells me that the cabin of the plane for transporting victims is very different from the cabin of the plane on which they fly to "meetings" in the Seychelles. This machine is most likely suitable for both purposes. Unlike the Superjet.

        I think if there is no such domestic aircraft, you need to buy from the French. And if there is a need for such machines, then we need to think about their production in Russia. Moreover, the need is not for one such aircraft, but for aircraft of this type.

          Come on, Serge - they buy for themselves and a warm company, and urgent evacuation from Siberia is the concern of the Ministry of Emergencies.
