Tu-204 Chief Designer Oleg Alasheev expressed the opinion that it makes no sense for the domestic aircraft industry to produce Tu-214 at the Kazan Aviation Plant at a rate of 1-2 units per year.
According to him, the production of Tu-214 really needs to be revived. This is already a finished aircraft, and with certain improvements, it will be in no way inferior to Western modern counterparts.
However, the constructor believes that what is being done today with the Tu-214 and volumes of 1-2 aircraft per year are steps that will definitely not lead to anything.
In my opinion, producing one, two, or even 10 is meaningless. It is necessary to initially plan to produce at least 100 aircraft annually, and that's just for starters. And with normal funding.
In 2025, the Kazan Aviation Plant will deliver another Tu-214. This aircraft will be only the second since 2022.
