«Everything was wasted on MS-21 and SJ-100»: there is no money left for the Kazan Tu-214

There are no components for the new aircraft, no attention is paid to the workshops of the procurement production

The production of the Tu-214 aircraft at the Kazan Aviation Plant (part of PJSC Tupolev) has stalled due to financial problems. This point of view was voiced by the former director of the Ulyanovsk branch of Tupolev, Stanislav Ryzhakov.

No one plans to allocate money for the Tu-214, because everything was wasted on MS-21 and SJ-100. Promised? They promised a lot of things. I think they give the smallest amount.

A source of «Business Online» named another problem as the lack of attention to the workshops of procurement and mechanical production. There are no components in the warehouses, and for rhythmic work it is necessary that there are at least two aircraft sets of parts.

On the Internet you can find old photos of our old final assembly shop: airplanes like herring in a barrel. Maybe we should remember how our fathers and grandfathers worked? But the main thing was full support.

Only the first new Tu-214 liner reached the final assembly, although initially it was planned back in 2023 to deliver three aircraft.

Earlier www1.ru reported that the Tu-160 «White Swan» bomber and the Soviet Tu-144 will become the basis for a new supersonic Russian airliner.
