Deliveries of all-new Russian aircraft have been delayed by two years due to safety concerns ...
The publication said that, for example, the weight of the new MS-21 passenger aircraft has increased by 5.75 tons, compared to the previous version, which used foreign components and Western engines. This means its flight range and altitude have been significantly reduced.
One of Kommersant's sources said that, if Russia is unable to reduce the weight of the aircraft, it will be impossible for authorities to make the plane achieve the desired performance characteristics. "It's impossible to increase engine thrust by 20 percent," the source said.
Russia has also been plagued with a spike in plane malfunctions.
Data compiled by Newsweek last year showed that, from September 2023 to December 8, 2023, Russia saw a total of 60 commercial aviation incidents that involved emergency landings, engine fires and malfunctions, along with other technical issues forcing the planes to abandon their intended routes...
Earlier, independent newspaper Novaya Gazeta Europe found that, from January to August 2023, more than 120 air accidents were recorded in Russia involving civil aircraft used by Russian airlines. This brought the total number of plane malfunctions in 2023 to over 180. In comparison, 61 incidents were reported in 2022...

In the airline industry, Putin forces Russian airlines to continue to fly its unsafe, unmaintained planes
Dysfunctional country ... only a matter of time until a major accident happens ...
If the Ukes hear about this they undoubtedly have some teams itching to help “make” such accidents happen and on a large scale. Prayers for safety of the civilians exposed to war.
That is not what the Russians are saying. There are arbiters who could settle this question but they are dead or dying on the Uke battlefield. Where do you all of those 500, 1000 and 1500kg glide bombs are coming from?
Do you remember anything of history like when during World War II, while under massive attack from the German army, the Russians moved much of their war industry east of the Ural Mountains. They built their new T-34 tanks there that annihilated the Germans and hammered Berlin? Do you really think the Russians forgot how to pull off things like that?
Please try to tell me again, how the “RuZZZZians only have shovels to fight with.! They are orcs and pigs running a gas station with nukes!”
Scratch a neocon globalist and find a leftist nutjob.
You know, FR has a few threads regarding Canada. Why do you never seem to comment on them?
They’ll just leave out a few parts…like Boeing.
Russia Struggles to Build New Planes Amid Sanctions
_______________________________________________________
I’m just glad costs are down on labor and materials here in the US. /s
It’s sick to see scrotes giddy about increased dangers to the general public flying on airliners. Really tells you who they are.
Like Putin, you’re obsessed with irrelevant non sequiturs based on stuff that happened eighty years ago and more.
That was then, this is now.
Stalin actually had an existential fight, and that tends to focus minds. Putin governs a country that wasn’t under attack at all... Russia had to blow up its own apartment block to frame the Chechens; it had to create Maidan in Ukraine for an excuse to get into Crimea, and the only motivation for Feb 22 was butthurt.
Russia would be left alone entirely by Europe if Putin abandoned his little fantasy of invading countries under NATO protection, and spent more energy on Russia’s lack of indoor plumbing and thousands of impassable roads that haven’t been resurfaced since perestroika.
Nobody with three brain cells to rub together wants to be a part of Dugin’s death cult vision. The knowhow in Russia to do what you’re talking about left Russia in 2022. The experts who are left are fighting not just a lack of resources but a constant threat of reprisals from Moscow if they tell the retards there that they don’t have the materials, expertise, manpower or competent management to build what Putin demands they build.
Because he ain’t a lumberjack classic Canadian. He’s a descendant of the postwar Banderist Uke diaspora that immigrated to Canada... like that old Uke SS guy they had in speak in Parliament. Or like Chrystia Freeland... another Uke SS descendant. Or as in America with the Vindman twins, Nuland, etc.
Not really “Canadian” or “American”.
Hmm, I wonder if Russia is dedicating much of its manufacturing efforts to things other than civilian aircraft?
Naw that can’t be it. /s
Guy flying a Maple Leaf flag posts, and guy flag a Union Jack comments. Ah, such non-Americans with plenty to tell us Americans....
There are still a few Uke nazis left to get rid of, before we get to The Last Ukrainian Alive.
Interesting... no?
From what I’ve read and seen, and I acknowledge that I have no expertise in aviation matters, Russian aviation faces some big problems.
Before the ‘special operation’ began and sanctions were imposed, The Russian domestic aircraft industry was apparently using important components (like engines) on their airplanes. I have no doubt that Russian engineers are quite capable of deigning engines of their own from scratch, but that takes time.
Russia seized E.U. leased airplanes and re-registered them as Russian. Again, from what I’ve read, these planes are cut off from genuine replacement parts and software updates. How this may affect them regarding safety issues and reliability, I don’t know. Obviously, parts can by copied, but these planes will not likely be allowed to fly out of Russia.
This doesn’t mean that Russia can’t and won’t be able to build planes, but it is going to be a stuggle for them.
