Repeating a lie often does not make it true. Sorry Goebbels.
I already told you why the technology Russia is bringing into the CR929 is not outdated.
It is basically the technology used in the MC-21, which is better than anything Airbus or Boeing offer in the segment, taken to next level.
So how many new airplanes has Antonov designed in the last 3 decades? I mean usable airplanes. Not prototypes.
Most of the designers of the 787 were in the Boeing design center in Moscow. You really underestimate how much MBAs have hollowed out corporate America. This is modern Boeing. Indians write the code. Russians design the airframe. Japanese and Italians build most of the large parts. Assembled at lowest cost non-union labor state of US. With all the quality as can be expected out of this process.
So what. Like any similar cooperation even if both sides decide to go their own way later they will have learned enough in the process that it will retire risk on their own separate projects.
You remind me of the retarded Western journos who claimed the Power of Siberia pipeline would not be built when it was announced back in 2014. Must be true because I read that on the FT. That China would not be putting any money into it, and Russia was broke, so it would never get built. The truth is, Russia had the money, they did build it, and it did happen.
The PD-35 engine project is strategic. It will be used in the twinjet airliner (CR929 and/or Il-96), Elephant, An-124 engine upgrade. Chance of cancellation is 0%. Half of the price of developing an aircraft is developing the engine.
Russia had the contract to build the landing gear of the Boeing 777X. The production line is there. Boeing cancelled the contract in March I think. So. That is another thing Russia can do. The fuselage and wing are basically a larger version of the MC-21. The avionics will be mostly the same. Similar airframe with similar twin engine layout. Ok, maybe they will need to make a new APU, big whoop.
They have the Il-96 facility and they can either upgrade that or build a new one. Building a shed large enough to built it in is not a problem.
Riight. PET is carbon composite fiber. Must be since you said it Goebbels.
You watch too much Ukrainian propaganda made by former TV producer and now Minister of Propaganda of Ukraine.
Sections were built in South Korea yes. Because Russians are smart enough not to try to build complex things they have no experience in with no cooperation from people who know better when such cooperation is available. Not that it matters that much. Because the Novatek Arctic LNG-2 project is delayed with the sanctions on liquefaction equipment, those LNG carriers won't be necessary any time soon, I guess they will just continue work on the largest ever nuclear icebreaker at Zvezda.
Russia produces its own GaA and GaN radar modules. I don't know why that is such a big deal.
What? The Ukrainians getting creamed by poorly equipped Donbass militia despite being trained and equipped by NATO for 8 years?
And if you think actual NATO troops would do much better, you are wrong. In a conventional fight the only extra edge they would have over what Ukraine is offering is aviation, but Russia isn't even using most of its air defense fighters or interceptors in the conflict. Russia could easily take on any of the two largest countries in Europe's airforces and win. It would not win against the USAF. But the Russians would never allow it to operate properly in the first place. Every single oil depot, refinery, aircraft repair facility, aircraft factory, and port facility, would get Kalibrated.
