VORONEZH, July 5. /TASS/. Problems with the creation of a new Il-112B military transport aircraft for the Russian Defense Ministry are gradually being solved, Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov said on Monday.

"We have been fighting with the Il-112 for the last three years. The situation is shifting for the better. In principle, the car turns out to be quite good, " Borisov said at a meeting at the Voronezh Joint-stock Aircraft Construction Company, the manufacturer of these machines.

He noted that the plant on the third aircraft should show the achievement of the specified characteristics, and so far the obligations to the Ministry of Defense in this regard have not yet been fulfilled.

"Until you confirm the flight characteristics of the Il-112, it is pointless to talk about serial contracts," Borisov added.

After the launch of the aircraft into mass production, according to the deputy chairman of the government, the enterprise "will be provided with orders for the Il-112B in the long term."

Earlier it was repeatedly reported that the plane turned out to be too heavy.

Aircraft production

The Ministry of Defense and other state customers will receive up to 200 new Il-112V, Borisov said. Speaking about the number of Il-112B aircraft that will be produced for the needs of the Ministry of Defense and other customers, he noted: "The total number of which is planned to be up to 200 units. Very good loading and prospects."

Serial production is planned to begin in 2023, Borisov said.

"The IL-112B is very much expected in the troops. The total demand for Il-112B aircraft in the state aviation of Russia is up to 200 units, taking into account the retirement of the aging fleet of Antonov machines. Rosgvardiya, the FSB of Russia and the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia can act as additional state customers of these aircraft, " the Deputy Prime Minister added.

Export deliveries

Borisov also noted that the new Russian military transport aircraft Il-112B can be exported in the future. "For sure, the car will have prospects for export deliveries, because a cluster of such cars is now in great demand," the deputy prime minister said.

The IL-112B is the first military transport aircraft developed in Russia from scratch in the post-Soviet period, work on its creation has been underway since 2014. It is capable of carrying up to 5 tons of cargo and is designed for transporting soldiers, military equipment, weapons. The machine is being created to replace the turboprop An-26 and An-24. It is planned to be released in two versions: for civil aviation (Il-112T) and military transport aviation (Il-112B).
