Putin ordered the urgently to produce Baikal aircraft: what are the problems in "know-how" from

The new project of LMS-901 "Baikal" should replace the light transport aircraft "An-2". The date of its release is constantly tolerated, and the price of the product increased almost four times during simple production. Russian President Vladimir Putin has instructed to launch the LMS-901 "Baikal" aircraft, replacement of the light transport "An-2". But once again, the terms of production "move to the right", reported Defense Express.

The Russians have recently complained that no one would buy a new car - its price flew almost four times. Initially, they promised that LMS-901 Baikal will be sold for 120 million rubles, and now-for 445 million rubles, about $ 5 million. The Russians say that they "work" the subsidies and purchases of aircraft worked on the Superjet100 project, the creation of the airliner from scratch.

According to experts, the project never came to self -sufficiency and there is practically no chance of investment payback. Every year, the cost can be increased by another 4%. In addition to the cost, there are other nuances. For example, in the Far Eastern Federal District, there is no sufficient runway to take the future LMS-901 Baikal. Despite Putin's order to produce a plane faster, solve all the problems with LMS-901 Baikal in a short time is unrealistic.

The first Viceremier-Minister of the Russian Federation Denis Manturov said that the aircraft should be done only with the engine VK-800cm, which is certified only in 2025. The start of delivery after certification is possible only two years later, in 2026. All subsequent plans for the terms on Baikal remain in question. Recall that Iran created a new type of ship with Shahid Bagheri.
