The Tu-214, developed at the Kazan Aircraft Plant, is still dependent on foreign components, despite its declared import substitution. This was stated by Viktor Martynov, head of Premier Aero.
Nevertheless, he pointed to the deep localization of a number of onboard systems, the adaptation of domestic analogues to the airliner, and the use of alternative supply channels.
Dependence on foreign electronic component base, a number of specialized avionics elements, and individual components of onboard systems remains.
Despite all the KAZ's supply problems, the Tu-214 may become the industry's main option for the next five years.
Rostec stated that the Tu-214 still needs to be "brought to perfection" after design changes. There is an opinion in the industry that the aircraft has remained in the same condition as 30 years ago, unlike its competitors Boeing 737 and Airbus A320.
