Top executives of Russia's largest aircraft plants dismissed over civil aviation failure

Russian authorities are launching a "purge" of top aviation industry managers after the sector failed to deliver on the Kremlin's plan to produce domestic civil aircraft as replacements for Western models.

Source: The Moscow Times 

The CEO of PJSC Yakovlev, Andrei Boginsky, and the Managing Director of PJSC Tupolev, Konstantin Timofeev, have been removed from their positions. Boginsky was dismissed by order of Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin for the "failure of the civil aviation programme".  

Leadership changes include Vadim Badeha, CEO of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), personally taking over management of Yakovlev. Meanwhile, Alexander Bobryshev, UAC's Deputy CEO for State Defence Orders, has been appointed to head up Tupolev.  

These changes are reportedly tied to the urgent need for "timely certification and the launch of mass production for a new line-up of domestic civil airliners".  

The government’s ambitious plan to revive the aviation industry aimed to produce 40 civil airliners in 2023. By 2026, production was to ramp up to 120 planes annually, reaching 200 by 2028 and 230 by 2030 – the highest level since the late 1970s.  

The programme also projected that Russian airlines would receive two import-substituted Sukhoi Superjets and three Tu-214 airliners last year. For this year, the targets included 20 Sukhoi Superjets, seven Tu-214s, six MC-21 regional jets, and two Il-114-300 turboprops.  

In reality, the industry managed to deliver only two Tu-214s and one Il-96-300. As a result, the government has drastically scaled back its goals. Production for 2025 has been cut from 82 planes to just 20. The 2026 goal has been reduced from 120 to 97, and the 2027 target lowered from 180 to 140. 

Background:

Western sanctions are causing Russian airlines to lose more aircraft, compounding the industry's struggles.

At the same time, Kazakh specialists are reportedly maintaining Russian Su-30SM fighter jets using French-made equipment from Thales and Safran, bypassing the sanctions.

Putin wants to gain as much land before Trump becomes potus and asked both sides to sit on the table.  Ukraine has sent their best to Kursk to hold there till Trump ask them to sit down and nego. Putin has unsuccessfully tried to push them out with the 5:3 ratio advantage.

Russian Air defense is really shitty. Ask the Iranian, they know.   Western partners should give Ukraine mid to long range missiles, with the right intel, Russia air superiority at the frontline could be taken care off with high probability. It also explains why lone propeller type of drone can fly thousand of km into russia and bomb the O & G refineries.

It's a drone war. NATO will be learning from Ukraine forces for tactics and strategy. Ukrainian forces will be the best.

NK soldiers are learning the hard way, what it's like, being hunted by drones day and night.

SAF should lean from them too. It's a cheap way for a small country to defend itself.

With rapid advancement, Russian aren't taking prisoners, but instead executing them at an alarming rate.  The Western partners has to react to this by giving them more weapons and long range strike capabilities, much further than the ATACMs.

Interesting. Is he justifying the Kursk invasion? Or there's going to be an expansion of Kursk? Unlikely coz Russian has committed a huge force more than 50K soldiers there (inclusive of N korean soldiers) vs 30K for Ukraine.

It would be interesting if he opens a new area for invasion for more chips to bargain before Trumps comes into power and ask both sides to sit down and talk.

Looks like the Eastern frontline is not their focus now. Since it's hard to defend there with all the FAB bombers and arty shell advantages. Especially when USA doesn't allow them strike inside russia except Kursk. So it seems Kursk is their focus now for the more chips on hand to be use for negotiation.
