India may refuse Russian IL-112В in favor of Ukrainian An-178

Due to problems with the IL-112, India may refuse Russian aircraft.

The problems identified in the newest Russian military transport aircraft IL-112В may be the reason that the main potential exporter of these aircraft, which is India, may refuse to buy them. As the main reason, deviations from the technical specification are called, as a result, the weight taken on board the aircraft is limited to only 2-3 tons, and according to the assertions of skeptics, one ton.

Indian media is very actively discussing the first flight of the Russian military transport aircraft Il-112В, while there are very positive and negative reviews that call on the Indian Air Force command to pay attention to that fact. that such a project did not satisfy even the Russian military.

Earlier, India has already abandoned the operation of the Russian Mi-26 helicopters, replacing them with American-made Chinook helicopters, and therefore, it is possible that for the needs of military transport aviation, India will also look for relevant aircraft from other countries, in particular As a replacement for the Russian IL-112, India can use Ukrainian An-178, whose payload is 18 tons.

For clarity; EXPORTER - who sells a product, respectively, export, is a sale, IMPORTER - who buys, and import, is a purchase. (Of course, a foreign trade operation is implied)

Indians catch fish in troubled waters. work on the contradictions of competitors, knock down the price. business is clear, have every right. we just do not forget about it, and do not be led to it as suckers. they want indra to buy their case for a penny, but because of this we don’t have to throw away the secrets of production, donate the goose that lays the golden eggs into the wrong hands. You never know who wants what! our national interests are prior to any allies. today is the ally of the enemy tomorrow. and the rifle in the bins is the rifle. does not ask to eat and drink.
