It seems not only helicopters in Korenovsk air base, but also Su-34 in renovated Baltimor air base will get at least new roofs if not full hangars.
They almost look to be the same type structure.

Or keep roofs and use under them inflatable hangars:
That way you keep snow away from them and they deal with the rest, wind, water droppings and you can easily warm it when technicians work etc.

Inflatable hangars are far more expensive than screwing there some metal panels for walls.

They rust however, and are very hard to get warm enough for crews that work inside, its North after all. Also judging by the price local aero club paid for inflatable hangar for their Cessna (its actually alot bigger than they need, you could probably fit SU30 inside) which was 10.000USD, its beans compared how handy they are.

Summary
After a long dark period Russia’s air transport fleet is on the brink of a dramatic revival.
The plan can be summarised as follows:
Aircraft Payload Aircraft Replaced
IL112 6,000 kg AN26
IL214 20,000 kg AN12
IL(4)76 60,000 kg IL76
IL106 80-100,000 kg AN22
“Project Yermak”
(large aircraft) 150,000 kg AN124
(very large aircraft) 200.000 kg AN225
Many of these aircraft are closely related to each other or to other aircraft that are also in the process of being produced.
The IL112 is closely related and uses the same Klimov engines as the IL114 turboprop airliner, which is due to re-enter production in 2019.
The IL214 borrows design cues from the IL76 - the aircraft on which the IL(4)76 is based - and has a hold that is dimensionally identical to that of the IL(4)76 though of only half the length.
The IL214, IL(4)76 and IL106 use the same or similar engines.
Not only is the PS90A engine used by the IL(4)76 closely related to the PD14 engine used by the IL214, but the IL(4)76 will itself probably convert to the PD14 before long. The PD18R - which will almost certainly be the engine that will power the IL106 - is derived from the PD14.
Lastly, the various aircraft that will form the family being developed under “Project Yermak” - including the IL106 - will be based on the same concept and will share engines, components and systems with each other

Nice video, but I could be spared the cliché "нет аналогов в мире". Also, the claim of Russian fighters reaching Mach 3 is a bit fantasious.George1 wrote:Video: "Ladoga-2016" RuAF drill is underway.
