It is always interesting to know the opinion about themselves by. Military experts shtatovskih edition of The National Interest often give reviews of the latest technology of the Russian military-industrial complex. This time they compared the Russian military transport aircraft Il-112V with Ukrainian analogue AN-140.
According to the newspaper, though, CB Ilyushin freighter that has a similar aerodynamic design with Ukrainian development, Russian aircraft have better characteristics and impact on energy efficiency of its power plants, range distances surmounted, the price of the regular MOT and repairs. Such positively-cumulative effect achieved by the use of these models "IL" newest engine TV7-117, whose efficiency nearly forty percent higher, than that of aircraft engines TV3-117, which are equipped with the AN-140.
Despite, that the Il-112V dimensionally bit more cargo aircraft fleet Square, flight speed at a maximum of five hundred Russian aircraft 550 kilometers per hour, What's on 20 kilometers more than, than the "AN". In addition, a new "IL" is equipped with a missile defense system of the latest generation "President-S", than can not boast of the comparable Ukrainian transport board.
Russian military transport aircraft Il-112B is designed to transport up to five tons of any cargo, including military equipment, weapons or personnel of the combat units of the Armed Forces. Approximately the same number can take on board and a Ukrainian cargo aviamashina. But the distillation range of flight at the Russians almost a half times more, namely, about five thousand kilometers, whereas the Ukrainians it is only about three and a half thousand kilometers.
It is necessary to take into account the time factor: AN-140 - is a Ukrainian development of the last millennium, already, basically, obsolete. Whereas IL-112V – This latest model of the domestic aviation industry, which we used all the best practices and latest developments of the world of aviation thoughts of the XXI century. Besides it is important also that factor, that new transport "IL" is almost completely assembled in Russia, which increases its military value to the state repeatedly.
The need to develop such an aircraft for VKS Russia arose after the beginning of the crisis in Russian-Ukrainian relations 2014 year. Moscow could no longer count on the purchase of military equipment from Kiev. In addition to this easy model Aviation Complex named after SV. Ilyushin parallel develops flight lorry superheavy PAK BTA, which in the Russian army fleet of military transport aircraft to replace the Ukrainian "Ruslan" AN-124.
In company “Ilyushin” commented on the publication of the NI so:
The problem of such reviews in, which is often compared the numbers of foreign advertising designs with flight performance of Il-112V during takeoff from the ground with one failed engine
