Viktor Gorbachev, General Director of the "Airport" Association, was skeptical about the words of Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov about plans to increase the production of Tu-214 aircraft at the Kazan Aviation Plant to two dozen by 2027-2028.
The expert questioned both the plans for the aircraft and its "stuffing". After all, engines, avionics and other components still need to be produced for the Tu-214.
Where, you see, are two dozen coming from? In 2027, we will ask Comrade Manturov where the 20 promised machines are. Manturov will make it, but he makes iron, a glider. And this glider needs thousands more components. Are they ready to make them?
At the same time, KAZ continues to face serious difficulties in the production of Tu-214. Only the first new airliner has reached the final assembly stage, although initially it was planned to deliver three aircraft back in 2023.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the import-substituted MS-21 aircraft successfully tested radio-electronic equipment.
