Il-76/476 Military Transports

It's the same damn plane.

So stop with this nonsense.

BTW, the claims thrown here is Borisov, not military. And he never mentioned anything about Su-35 replacing Su-57 or T-90 for Armata.

Way to overblow something without even understanding what was said.

Not surprised though by this forum members tbh.

Nothing has been downgraded.
There is a program to modernise the Il-76 called Il-76MD-M and the new plane, Il-76MD-90A (Il-476). 3 delivered. 10 are put together, so the series production is going ahead.

What a useless discussion.
The mass production is not accelerating as planned five or six years ago. Bu-hu.

The A400M was 14 years late. Fourteen years!

Schedule of IL-76MD-90A planes batch production

Colleague diana_mihailova published a calendar plan for the production of 36 Il-76MD-90A military transport aircraft at Aviastar-SP JSC (Ulyanovsk) in 2017-2022. The plan is dated June 24, 2017.

Comparison of the data of this plan with the actual state of affairs indicates the continuing serious lag in the serial production program of the Il-76MD-90A aircraft at Aviastar-SP. Only on November 7, 2018, in Ulyanovsk, flight tests of the first Il-76MD-90A aircraft, which figure in this plan, were launched — the aircraft with the serial number 0109. Thus, the planned delivery of three Il-76MD-90A aircraft in 2018, apparently, did not may be out of the question.

It is significant that the previous IL-76MD-90A aircraft built on the Aviastar-SP (serial number 0108, which became the first production aircraft built under contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense from October 2012 to manufacture 39 IL-76MD-90A), was raised into the air almost three years earlier - December 15, 2015.

Defense Ministry until 2030 plans to buy more than 100 IL-76MD-90A aircraft


Ulyanovsk, March 21. / TASS /. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation plans to acquire more than 100 Il-76MD-90A military transport aircraft as well as tanker aircraft based on them until 2030. This was announced on Thursday by Deputy Prime Minister Yury Borisov.

“The Ministry of Defense plans this machine to be the main one. Potentially, until 2030, the Ministry of Defense intends to purchase more than 100 aircraft, and if there are more tankers that are made on the basis of this aircraft, the number will increase,” he said.

In 2012, the Russian defense ministry signed a contract according to which Aviastar-SP should build 39 Il-76MD-90A aircraft for the Russian Armed Forces.

IL-76MD-90A - deeply modernized version of the IL-76. New flight-navigation complex, automatic control system and communication complex improve flight safety, accuracy of piloting and landing. The latest modification of the military transport aircraft is distinguished by new equipment, including a “glass cabin”, modern PS-90A-76 engines, a modified wing and a reinforced chassis. A tanker aircraft is being created on the basis of the IL-76MD-90A.

Russian Defense Ministry to get first Il-76MD-90A transport plane next week

No Il-76MD-90A planes have been handed over to the Russian Armed Forces since 2014

MOSCOW, March 21. /TASS/. The Russian Defense Ministry will get the first serial Il-76MD-90A military transport plane next week, Russian aircraft manufacturer and design bureau Ilyushin said on Thursday.

"The first serial plane is fully ready. It is expected to be handed over next week," a company source told reporters.

The company confirmed that no Il-76MD-90A planes have been handed over to the Russian Armed Forces since 2014. Prior to that, the military transport aviation of the Russian Aerospace Forces received two such aircraft as a pre-production delivery. A defense industry source told TASS that the use of those aircraft helped the makers to improve the first serial plane.

Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov told reporters earlier on Thursday that before 2030, the Russian Defense Ministry plans to buy more than 100 Ilyushin Il-76MD-90A military transport aircraft, as well as aerial refueling tankers based on them.

While visiting the Ulyanovsk-based Aviastar-SP factory that produces Il-76MD-90A planes, the Russian deputy premier said that under the state procurement order, three aircraft of this type were to be handed over to the Russian Defense Ministry last year. He confirmed that the company was about 3-4 months behind the delivery schedule. A special commission was set up to prevent such delays in future.

The Il-76MD-90A is a heavily upgraded version of the Il-76MD military transport plane.

The plane’s new version is outfitted with the PS-90A-76 engines that help reduce fuel consumption by 10% The plane can carry a payload of 52 tonnes and operate at a distance of 5,000 km compared to 47 tonnes and 4,000 km, respectively, for the Il-76MD. It is capable of carrying a greater number of transportable and air-droppable military hardware.

The upgraded plane is designated to transport heavy large-size hardware and cargoes, and also to land personnel, hardware and cargoes.

The plane can also be used in disaster response, for example, for extinguishing fires. In October 2012, Russia’s Defense Ministry and the United Aircraft Corporation signed a contract worth 140 billion rubles ($2.1 billion) for the delivery of 39 Il-76MD-90A military transport planes to the Russian Armed Forces.

Boy, it'a mess.

There are conflicting denomination there and the rendering in English add just confusion.

Saying a "first serial" plane in russian means a thing and saying instead the first "serial plane" a completely
different one.
I will assume that in any case these six ones will be all new, serially built ones, not older one being updated, right? Right?

Sorry double post

The upgraded plane is called Il-76MD-M

There was a contract for 3 planes signed in 2011. Their factory numbers were 0103, 0104 and 0105. 0101 was the prototype. 0103 was converted into A-100. 0201 was the first Il-78M-90A. 0108 was the first plane of the larger contract signed in 2012. I guess they want to say that it was akin to the "lead ship", so 0109 is a first serial plane.

0109 made its first flight on November 7th, 2018. And 0110 made it on December 22th, 2018. So it should be delivered soon as well.

Earlier in the course of ground and flight tests, the conformity of the aircraft that received the serial number 0109 to the technical conditions for control, acceptance and delivery of the Il-76MD-90A aircraft was confirmed. This is the first aircraft built in accordance with the list of tasks of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. The previous IL-76MD-90A with the factory number 0108 was produced in 2015. During the tests, a number of changes were made to the requirements for the aircraft, which required substantial modifications to the design.

The next IL-76MD-90A under the serial number 0110 is currently completing flight tests and is also preparing for transfer to the customer. To date, a promising convertible Il-78M-90A fuel tanker is also undergoing flight tests in Ulyanovsk.

In total, in 2019, it is planned to hand over 6 new transport workers to the customer, which should qualitatively enhance the capabilities of the Military Transport Aviation of the Russian Armed Forces. The Il-76MD-90A is the second generation of the famous Il-76 aircraft. He received more powerful PS-90A-76 engines that comply with ICAO noise standards.

The wing was constructed from long panels again, which increased its strength. Enhanced chassis, carried out many other changes. Increased capacity and range of delivery of troops and cargo. Thus, the possibility of delivering cargoes weighing 52 tons has been increased to 5,000 kilometers. Maximum load up to 60 tons. The IL-76MD-90A can carry 126 paratroopers with parachutes, 145 personnel in the single-deck version and 225 in the double-deck.

The aircraft is able to transport and parachute modern BMD, BTRD, SAU and other equipment of the airborne troops. The second-generation heavy transporter received a new flight-navigation complex, an automatic control system, a communication complex and a “glass cabin” (on the pilots dashboard there are six multifunctional digital screens that display all the information necessary to control the aircraft).

The equipment meets all modern requirements for aircraft avionics and significantly increases flight safety, accuracy of navigation and landing.


Comment bmpd. Thus, we are talking about the transfer of the Il-76MD-90A military transport aircraft with the serial number 0109 (registration number RF-78655) to the Ministry of Defense of Russia. This is the second aircraft built by Aviastar-SP JSC (part of UAC JSC) in Ulyanovsk under a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense dated October 2012 for the production of 39 Il-76MD-90A units worth 139.42 billion rubles, and now it is declared the “first serial” IL-76MD-90A as “the first aircraft built in accordance with the tasks list of the Ministry of Defense of Russia”. Flight tests of this board were started in Ulyanovsk on November 7, 2018. Now the plane was transferred to the 235th Military Transport Aviation Regiment of the 18th Military Transport Aviation Division of the Military Transport Aviation of the Aviation Structure of the Russian Air Force, based on the Aviastar-SP airfield, Ulyanovsk-Vostochny, formed at the end of 2017 Thus, this aircraft became the first IL-76MD-90A, which arrived in the linear part of the Russian VKS.

The first IL-76MD-90A aircraft, for the Ministry of Defense of Russia, under the contract of 2012 with serial number 0108 (registration number RF-78654) was built on Aviastar-SP more than three years ago and for the first time raised there in the air on December 15, 2015 and on January 17, 2016, it entered the 610th Center for Combat Use and Retraining of Flight Personnel of Military Transport Aviation named after Marshal of Aviation N.Skripko in Ivanovo.

Previously Aviastar-SP, under a contract dated November 2011, JSC UAC - Transport Planes built in 2014-2015 three Il-76MD-90A aircraft of the installation batch with serial numbers 0103, 0104, 0105. The first two of them were transferred to PJSC The Taganrog Aviation Scientific-Technical Complex named after G. Beriev (TANTK) for creating special-purpose machines on their basis, and on December 3, 2015, the aircraft with the serial number 0105 was also transferred to the 610th TsBPiLPSS VTA in Ivanovo.

Flight tests of the third Il-76MD-90A aircraft with serial number 0110 under the contract of 2012 were launched in Ulyanovsk on December 22, 2018.

It seems AMCXXL has right

So we have:
(0103) special purpose
(0104) special purpose
(0105) transferred to TsBPiLPS
(0108) transferred to TsBPiLPS
(0109) the last for Transprot Aviation of VKS

Next, please
