Serbia has proposed to station a Russian Il-76 firefighting aircraft at the Russian-Serbian Humanitarian Center in Niš starting in 2027. This was announced by Serbian Interior Minister Ivica Dačić following a meeting with Russian Minister of Emergency Situations Alexander Kurenkov in Moscow.

The aircraft is planned to be used for preventive strengthening of fire readiness and assistance in extinguishing fires throughout the country.

Now Kurenkov will appeal to Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding the deployment of the aircraft in Niš.

The head of the United Aircraft Corporation, Vadim Badeha, noted that there is a queue of foreign buyers for the Il-76MD-90A transport modification.

Ulyanovsk Region Governor Alexey Russkikh noted that the Aviastar plant, which produces the Il-76, was tasked with increasing production.
