The Ulyanovsk aircraft factory «Aviastar» will receive 48 billion rubles in 2025–2026 for technical re-equipment in order to launch serial production of two new military transport aircraft — Il-100 and Il-276. This was announced by the Governor of the Ulyanovsk Region, Alexey Russkikh, at a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The first tranche of 6 billion rubles will be received this year, the remaining 42 billion — in 2026. The funds will be used to modernize the production facilities necessary for the production of advanced aviation equipment.
The Il-276 is positioned as a lighter and technologically updated version of the Il-76, and the Il-100 is being developed as a completely new military transport aircraft.
Experts note that the main potential customers for the vehicles are law enforcement agencies, primarily the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, but final decisions depend on the budgetary capabilities of the departments.
The implementation of the project will not only update the fleet of military transport aircraft, but also ensure the workload of «Aviastar» for the next decade, preserving high-tech production in the domestic aviation industry.
