MOSCOW, Aug 18-RIA Novosti. The program of flight tests of the Il-112B light military transport aircraft will continue, despite the plane crash in Kubinka near Moscow, a source in the military-industrial complex told RIA Novosti.

"Currently, the second Il-112B prototype is undergoing strength tests at the stand, the third and fourth experimental aircraft will be connected to flights. It is expected that the third and fourth samples will take to the air to continue flight tests next summer, " the agency interlocutor said.

On Tuesday, the first prototype of the Il-112B military transport aircraft crashed in Kubinka near Moscow, which was flying from Kubinka near Moscow to the airfield at LII im. Gromova in Zhukovsky, the preliminary cause of the disaster is the ignition of the right engine with its subsequent failure. Three crew members were killed.

The IL-112B is designed for the transportation and air landing of personnel, weapons, light military equipment and other cargo with a maximum weight of five tons. It should replace the retiring fleet of Soviet An-26s. The cruising speed of the Il-112B is 470 kilometers per hour, the flight range with a maximum load is 1.2 thousand kilometers.

In July, Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov said that the problems with the creation of the Il-112B are gradually being solved. Earlier it was repeatedly reported that the plane turned out to be too heavy.
