   The upgraded Il-76MD-M aircraft retains the old D-30KP engines, which are being modified to extend their life. Modernization works should bring the airborne equipment of the aircraft to the level of the equipment of the newly constructed Il-76MD-90A. The total service life of the aircraft is extended by 15 years. According to the requirements of the Ministry of Defense, the cost of upgrading the IL-76MD to the Il-76MD-M version should be only one third of the cost of the new IL-76MD-90A aircraft.

If true, that doesn't sound like a good deal. To pay one third of brand new plane's cost for 15 more years. When lifespan of a new transport plane is easily three times that. So that roughly ends up being similar cost during whole projected lifetime. But on top of that, the modernized ones will still be stuck with lower perfomance - less range and less payload. It's really worse deal than getting new il76 with new engines. I guess the only reason the modernization IS going through is that there's simply no cheap way to increase il76 production further than it is now. So if RuAF wants to upkeep its transport fleet in numbers, modernizing older il76 makes some sense.

The military transport aircraft will receive three new planes Il-76MD-90A in 2018

Besides, Ruslan modernized by An-124 will be transferred to the order of VTA

MOSCOW, on June 6. / TASS/. The military transport aircraft (VTA, is a part of Aerospace forces of the Russian Federation) plans to receive three new planes Il-76MD-90A and one An-124 Ruslan this year. The deputy commander, the chief engineer of VTA Mikhail Kozlov has told about it following the results of educational and methodical collecting.

"This year we have to receive three planes Il-76MD-90A and Ruslan modernized by An-124 in operation, he said.

During educational and methodical collecting representatives of administrative board of engineering and aviation service VTA have discussed an order of transfer of Il-76MD-90A and An-124-100 in operation and also "problematic issues of production of components for transport planes".

Collecting has taken place in the territory of the Ulyanovsk aircraft factory "Aviastar-SP". Representatives of VTA have examined production of transport planes, have got acquainted with the technical capacity of the enterprise.

"The main subject of collecting - problematic issues in ensuring reliability of the aircraft equipment and safety of flights, ways of their decision. Special attention has been paid to production of planes Il-76MD-90A and modernization of An-124", - Kozlov has noted.

Tu-330
This versatile aircraft is also in a developmental stage. It can replace both the An-12 and the heavier Il-76 on middle-distance flights. Like other Russian military transport aircraft, it can be operated from unpaved runways.
It is similar to the civil version of the Tu-214, which is already being produced. In case of an urgent order, the aircraft can be designed and certified in a very short time.
Tu-330 can carry up to 35 tons over a distance of up to 3,000 km, and with a load of 20 tons, can fly over 5,600 km.

Perhaps it's time to revive the TU-330:

I insulted not George1. I received insults.

Is there a reason why Russia was pursuing the IL-112 over this? Haven't heard much about the tu-330

The Tu-330 wont be revived because it would be redundant with the Il-276 being developed instead of the joint Russian Indian MTA...

Insults were given by a lot of people and that is the problem... who insulted who first might influence who gets the longest ban, but everyone who insults will get a ban if it continues...

Hope we are clear...

Russia is pursuing the Il-112 and Il-112V because they want a light transport to replace the An-24/26 and An-32 families in the 6 ton payload transport range.

It will be smaller and lighter and cheaper than An-12s in the 20 ton payload range, but then that will be replaced by the Il-276 reduced size Il-476 aircraft in the 20-30 ton payload range.

Pretty much, but I do hope the PAK TA expands into three related aircraft with 2, 4, and 6 engines in the 90-100 ton, 120-150 ton, and 200-250 ton payload class to replace the An-22, An-124, and An-225 respectively. A unified modular design that could perhaps have wing and fuselage inserts to increase or decrease size and of course add or remove engines...

Some of those new rockets will need external carriage and of course they are planning new Shuttle type aircraft too, so they might need 3-4 An-225 types in a few years time.

Note the Il-112 is a 5-6 ton payload aircraft able to replace the An-26 types, while the Il-276 will be a 20-30 ton payload aircraft to replace the An-12.

The Il-476 is a 60 ton payload aircraft.

Am I correct or we talking of something else?

I think it's eehnie talking about An-2 being a shity plane so all russian plane are shit. And then someone made the mistake to answer him. So now he use red and blue colors to quote wiki pages and who knows what other fantastic (I mean literaly fantastic ) sources and no one reads it but the orange notification appears on the main page so most people click on it just to remove the orange notification rather than read what he says.

4 An-124 "Ruslan", 46 Il-76 and one An-22 "Antey" are currently in combat condition..

Only 5 planes for strategic transport..

For the replacement of light and medium transporters, Il-112V, Il-214 (MTS) and Tu-330 were considered. But these projects were once buried by officials, although they could give an impetus to the development of a whole line of domestic airliners.

i had the impression that Il-112V had been revived..
