Russia is close to ceasing to depend on the Ukrainian aviation industry. To such conclusions experts from China.

Some time ago, the developers of the Russian light military transport aircraft Il-112V announced the successful completion of the first flight of a new machine. Chinese analysts noted that the booming interest in this product is fueled by the fact that these aircraft should replace the outdated An-26s that were produced in Ukraine. It is reported by Sohu. PolitRussia is a translation of this article.

“The new Russian aircraft is equipped with TV7-117ST turboprop engines, the design of the Il-112V is made in a classic style. When designing the cabin, the developers made a lot of efforts to achieve good visibility for the pilots. This is one of the components in which it significantly surpasses the Ukrainian counterpart, ”said Chinese analysts.

A military transport aircraft must first of all be durable, reliable and load-bearing. Guided by these priorities, the creators of the Il-112V strengthened the design of the cargo compartment, and also created it as convenient as possible for loading and unloading various equipment. Light transport aircraft have several advantages over their heavier counterparts. First of all, they are not so demanding on the conditions of the runway. IL-112V is a vivid representative of this type of machine.

“In Soviet times, the Ukrainian Antonov design bureau made impressive progress in the development of transport aircraft. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, it turned out that Russia was dependent on Ukrainian transport workers due to the lack of an equivalent replacement, ”the authors of Sohu added.    

In 2006, the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) was created in Russia, which was tasked with maintaining the country's status as one of the leaders in the global aviation industry. This maneuver allowed the largest Russian design bureau to survive. According to Chinese experts, largely due to this decision, the appearance of the Il-112V became possible. As a result, the Russian Federation will not only receive a new aircraft, but also reduce its dependence on Ukrainian cars.

“Russia is no longer as dependent on Ukrainian aircraft as before. This is confirmed by the fact that the Il-112V Russian transport aircraft, developed from scratch, recently made its first flight, ”summed up Chinese experts.

Earlier, PolitRussia quoted Chinese journalists who called the main advantage of Russian aircraft engines.
