By the end of the year, the Ministry of
0:02
Industry and Trade expects the
0:03
completion of all certification work on
0:05
the E14 aircraft. The Minister of
0:08
Industry and Trade, Anton Alikhanov,
0:09
spoke about this in an exclusive
0:11
interview with our TV channel about how
0:13
small aviation is developing in Russia
0:15
and how work is going on on Bal and Loga
0:18
aircraft se in an interview with our
0:20
channel right now.
0:22
Anton Andreich, good afternoon. Good.
0:24
What is the current state of helicopter
0:26
aviation in the country? The demand is
0:28
sufficiently large. I can undoubtedly
0:31
assert that right now the primary focus
0:34
is the new M family models famously
0:37
recognized by everyone including the
0:39
notable 8.
0:41
Maka stands as the most prevalent
0:43
helicopter globally. Not in Russia in
0:47
the world in general of course. Well in
0:49
Russia of course and the most massive
0:51
helicopter. Bark is a bear. Well, now
0:54
among the new products which by the way
0:57
have already been contracted is the
0:59
Aurora company.
1:02
A special unit for Gasprom which serves
1:04
their needs. This is the offshore
1:06
version of MI71 A3. This is it.
1:11
Certainly a superior machine with
1:13
unparalleled features globally poised
1:15
for significant demand in our fuel and
1:18
energy sector including shelf
1:19
operations. This involves major
1:22
companies like Gasprom, Ross, and others
1:24
following Lucy.
1:28
The Arctic is also in great demand for
1:30
these machines. The Far East in general
1:32
in principle with our helicopter
1:35
geography is a very popular thing. Well,
1:38
there are no railways, no roads. We have
1:41
large spaces where helicopters are
1:43
needed. Well, plus you remember in
1:46
recent years we have had a very large
1:48
program on air ambulance. This is also a
1:52
separate segment that is very popular
1:56
because well in some large cases the
1:58
speed of delivery of people is very much
2:00
in demand. After such large disasters
2:04
reaching medical institutions plays a
2:06
crucial role here. So helicopters are
2:08
irreplaceable in this part of MH from
2:11
firefighting 62. These are in fact also
2:14
such very famous workh horses that
2:18
they handle fire suppression in
2:20
inaccessible areas of Siberia where the
2:23
Tiger presents such need. What impact
2:25
did the sanctions have on the country's
2:26
helicopter sector? Somewhere probably
2:29
since the age of 14, we have experienced
2:31
significant pressure taking into account
2:33
the fact that connections to the
2:35
operating room with ours were
2:36
interrupted.
2:38
former Ukrainian partners Moitchie and a
2:41
number of other manufacturers
2:43
set the task of complete import
2:45
substitution of engines. We managed it
2:48
for the most part well for example in K
2:53
2520 or it is completely mastered by our
2:57
St. Petersburg Kleimoff. Well,
3:00
now we have received a certificate for
3:02
the BK 650 which is also a lot of work.
3:06
The engine has been created almost from
3:08
scratch and it will just become
3:09
available for Ansati on the K226 tons.
3:13
We are already planning certification
3:15
flights in the near future. This will
3:17
allow us to start well. Uh let's do it
3:20
before the end of the year. In fact, we
3:22
will plan earlier. We hope that in the
3:24
third quarter we will be able to
3:25
complete this work and start supplying
3:27
Ansatas. Uh they uh by the way are in
3:30
great demand and in business aviation
3:32
there will be a 5-seater version and in
3:36
execution for medical services to
3:38
evacuate and rescue people after any
3:40
accidents will also be in demand. We
3:42
will completely move away from
3:44
dependence on any that is in addition to
3:47
the engine everything in this helicopter
3:49
is domestic.
3:51
What are the volumes until the end of
3:53
the year for deliveries and next year?
3:55
Further this year, the most important
3:56
thing for us is to complete the
3:57
certification and deliveries will begin
3:59
next year. In terms of market demand,
4:01
how many years are domestic
4:02
manufacturers now closing in the
4:04
helicopter sector? Probably taking into
4:07
account the work that has become on
4:08
import substitution. We are completely
4:10
covering our needs. Mans in fact will
4:13
close the business segment, business
4:15
aviation. It is also important to go to
4:18
this euroopopters there and various
4:20
other foreign manufacturers receive our
4:22
machine competitive in price and
4:25
quality. There will be no difficulties
4:26
here. Well, from the point of view of
4:29
transport aviation, as I have already
4:31
said, bears and porridge actually cover
4:33
the entire range of tasks that
4:35
helicopters are designed to solve. Total
4:37
import substitution.
4:39
Continuing our export expansion. It is
4:41
extremely important that we do not lose
4:43
our traditional markets under any
4:45
circumstances. but on the contrary
4:47
expand our presence thanks to new
4:48
products that are already completely
4:50
substituted for imports. How is small
4:52
aviation developing in the country now?
4:54
At what stage are the key projects now?
4:57
Well, let's start unconventionally
4:58
probably with projects not related to
5:01
Oakai or Sudak.
5:03
We have a new I hope future is good. One
5:07
such player is S7. Did you see it too?
5:10
Mr. Philip recently presented his tango
5:13
aircraft which they are going to produce
5:15
at their site in Torivo Moscow region
5:18
and their engine they plan to develop.
5:20
This is such a perspective just for
5:26
in general the Federal Air Transport
5:28
Agency for the aviation community has
5:31
some machines on which it will be very
5:33
convenient to study. As I understand it
5:36
the Ministry of Transport has a lot of
5:38
interest. This car is a two-seater and
5:40
it will be convenient to teach future
5:43
pilots we do this kind of work on our
5:45
part. In the interest of the Ministry of
5:47
Defense, I have already mentioned the
5:49
Euro Civil Aviation Plant. They
5:50
developed a new model OTS800. Well, in
5:53
fact, we have guys who in the interest
5:56
of the Ministry of Defense are preparing
5:58
to become military figures. They studied
6:00
and are studying while the L29 L39 is
6:03
Czechoslovak production. It is clear
6:05
that they are gradually disappearing.
6:07
But we also need to have our own
6:09
domestic aircraft. The car is good, the
6:11
TS800.
6:14
Last year, the Ministry of Defense began
6:16
one flight at the end of 23 years. So
6:19
work is underway and USA is supplying a
6:22
fairly good large contract in the
6:24
interest of the Ministry of Defense. We
6:26
are doing the work.
6:30
We hope that in the near future we will
6:32
also announce the final parts of the
6:34
development work on BAL. There were
6:37
several stages of this project but it is
6:39
extremely important for us because it is
6:41
connected not only with the aircraft but
6:43
also with the VK800 engine. This is such
6:46
a capacious project in which Usga helps
6:50
neither from Zukovski their unit our
6:53
summit 19 Hollisk.
6:55
We visited him recently, agreed on how
6:58
we are refining this machine so that it
7:01
can land and take off from more
7:02
airfields in the far east
7:08
on in our Arctic territories and in
7:11
Siberia in general on the territory of
7:13
our country. It was important to us that
7:15
the technical parameters and
7:17
characteristics were close to those
7:18
aircraft that are in operation now. This
7:21
is anda. It is clear that and two cars
7:23
are basically all quite old.
7:26
But nevertheless, we are now with the
7:28
same 1900 with the same ODK and not in
7:32
partnership with 7 are planning to carry
7:34
out this work. We have a project to
7:36
resume production of engines TVD10. They
7:39
can just be used for remoterization of 2
7:42
and further modernization of these
7:44
aircraft.
7:47
That is in fact such a deep
7:48
modernization of Anto aircraft. We also
7:50
believe that there is a market for this.
7:52
This is interesting and it is very
7:54
important to me that Steven as a private
7:56
investor became interested in this
7:58
project. We will also do everything on
8:01
the part of the ministry of industry to
8:03
help them implement this project
8:05
together with Sudak because developers
8:07
and holders design documentation by the
8:10
United Corporation. Tense, do you
8:13
understand now what it takes place in
8:15
Palattoga. the work will probably be a
8:17
little longer. I don't want to name the
8:19
timing now, but with the engine
8:21
everything is more or less clear. These
8:23
are engines that
8:25
we are already developed certified ODK.
8:29
In fact, we also continue to fund the
8:32
experience design work on the
8:34
development of this aircraft. Well, if
8:37
we talk about small regional aviation,
8:39
then probably we should still talk about
8:41
his 1014.
8:44
uh it is already flying as part of
8:46
certification flights and we are aiming
8:48
for October that is before the end of
8:50
the year we can definitely expect the
8:52
completion of all serious work there
8:55
were difficult moments there from the
8:56
point of view of the avian interior but
8:58
now together with colleagues in this
9:01
staff mode we meet weekly work etc
9:07
all risks I am sure that this machine
9:10
will be ready and the first deliveries
9:12
will also begin. Here are three cars.
9:15
They are contracted. We see it as very
9:18
promising. This machine in terms of
9:20
export potential because over the next
9:22
20 years,
9:25
more than 2,000 machines of this type
9:27
will be sold only in the market of
9:29
Southeast Asia and Africa where we have
9:32
access strictly speaking to these
9:34
markets. We hope to separately allocate
9:37
them for the export project.
9:42
try to occupy yours. Niche important
9:44
components of unmanned vehicles are
9:46
batteries and electric motors. To what
9:48
extent do we have these components now?
9:50
Well, they are actively resolved. We
9:52
already have dozens of companies in fact
9:54
engaged in localization in fact and 28
9:57
here I am number. Yes, there was one
9:59
like this somewhere a week ago but their
10:02
constant number is growing a week ago.
10:04
So it could change of course. Let's say
10:07
most likely a very capacious growing
10:09
large market has already changed. I see
10:11
now the main demand is a special
10:13
military operation military purpose but
10:16
firstly we see very good export
10:19
prospects and the president told us
10:21
about this separately. Now the task
10:23
within the framework of the national
10:25
project of international cooperation
10:26
export and the national project on
10:28
drones is to establish new efficiency
10:30
indicators and set goals for itself for
10:34
export sales. We on the one hand can
10:36
simply sell drones. On the other hand,
10:39
how does Geoscan and a number of other
10:42
companies provide drone services to
10:44
customers abroad? They showed me, for
10:47
example, various equipment that allows
10:50
you to hang it on a drone and conduct
10:53
preliminary geological exploration at
10:56
such a high enough height from the
10:58
ground, which means they look and
11:00
outline where large deposits are
11:02
hypothetically located.
11:05
various well that is they measure a
11:08
magnetic anomaly and say that we are
11:09
looking for a fight here so we're
11:12
exploring there are probably some
11:14
minerals here that is for geologists
11:16
this is such an essential assistant we
11:18
have a drone in our face thank you very
11:20
much for the you.
