The thing is there is no evidence Russia's export nuclear reactor construction binge will stop any time soon. They are still bidding to build more reactors in Turkey and Egypt besides the ones already under construction. Also possibly new customers in Ethiopia, Vietnam, and Indonesia.

Russia may be bidding, but I severely doubt they will win any new orders.

It'll be a similar situation to new contracts for Russian weapons

There's just too much baggage attached to Russian reactors now and pressure from the US etc

They'd need to go from 215 TWh to 349 TWh to reach one-third nuclear electricity generation.
With the current capacity factor of 7.31, that's 18 GW of capacity.
So that's roughly 15 reactors.

And I suspect that after current construction of export reactors has been completed, there won't be many (if any) new orders, so Rosatom will have spare capacity.
Current generating capacity in Russia is around 1416 TWH even when January has 10 days of vacation. and that is expected to increase when more EVs /electric trains added along with population. so expect 500 TWH of Nuclear.
if they switch from foreign to domestic construction. so expect higher production rates.

Putin gave instructions on the production of game consoles and consoles in Russia

MOSCOW, March 27. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed the government to consider the issue of organizing the production of game consoles and consoles in Russia. This was reported on the Kremlin website.

“Consider the issue of organizing the production of stationary and portable game consoles and game consoles, as well as the creation of an operating system and a cloud system for delivering games and programs to users,” says the list of instructions following a meeting with Putin in January on the socio-economic development of the Kaliningrad region areas.

The deadline for execution of the order is set until June 15, 2024.

In February, it was reported that the organization for the development of the video game industry (RVI) would present the government with a plan for the development of video games in Russia for a five-year period. The roadmap was compiled taking into account proposals from executive authorities, government organizations and the professional gaming community. The plan consists of 83 points, including educational, export, and technological.

So, this year RVI plans to restore relations with funds and organizations of the gaming industry with Russian roots, next year it will develop permanent measures to support the development of video games, and the appearance of a full-fledged gaming console is planned for 2026-2027.

The Russian Haval plant plans to increase production by a third in 2024
March 25, 2024

The Haval plant in the Tula region plans to produce more than 130 thousand cars by the end of 2024. The Minister of Industry and Trade of the Tula Region, Vyacheslav Romanov, reported this to the Tula News portal.

Last year, the Russian Haval plant increased production by more than 2.5 times and approached the mark of 100 thousand cars produced. More than half of the enterprise’s total output in 2023 was accounted for by the brand’s Russian bestseller – the compact crossover Haval Jolion.

The Haval plant in Russia includes a stamping, welding, painting and assembly workshop, a component production workshop, and its maximum capacity is 150 thousand vehicles per year. Currently, the company produces the compact crossover Haval Jolion, crossover F7 and cross-coupe F7x, mid-size crossover Dargo.

AVTOVAZ produced about half of all vehicles in the Russian Federation in 2023
March 20, 2024

1711923785706.png

Experts from the AUTOSTAT agency have already reported that last year Russian automobile factories produced a total of 730.4 thousand units of automobile equipment. As part of the preparation of the report “Automotive industry in Russia. Results of 2023, prospects" they found that about half (48%) of all vehicles were assembled at AVTOVAZ.

Thus, we can say that in 2023 every second car in our country will roll off the Togliatti assembly line. But every seventh vehicle was produced at the Tula plant of the Chinese company Haval, whose share in the total volume was 13.6%. This ensured the company the title of leader in the production of foreign cars in the Russian Federation.

Every tenth vehicle came off the GAZ assembly line (9.8%). As for other automakers, there are four enterprises with a share in the range of 3–7%: KAMAZ (6.4%), UAZ (4.9%), Avtotor (4%) and Moskvich (3.3%).

This wide body design is based on previous 5 years of work. so the earlier picture may or may not be representative of what they want to eventually produce.

General Director of FAU TsAGI, Corresponding Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences Kirill Sypalo talks about the main activities of our organization in recent years, recalls what exactly was remarkable about this diverse five-year period, and suggests what exactly the projects of the future will be.

I will briefly dwell on complex scientific and technological projects (CSTP), which we are also implementing under the leadership of the Scientific Research Center “Institute named after N.E. Zhukovsky."

As part of the implementation of the Integral Research and Development Programme, comprehensive research is being carried out to shape the appearance of promising civil aircraft designed to solve the problems of regional and long-haul transportation. These studies imply a comprehensive integration of technologies and technical solutions that provide a high level of flight performance.

In particular, for a promising regional aircraft with flow energy control, we are considering the possibility of using an electric distributed power plant with impeller propulsors. This will significantly expand the basing conditions and simultaneously ensure high cruising flight speeds.

As part of the research on a promising long-haul aircraft, a number of configurations of wide-body aircraft designed to transport 250 passengers over a range of 8,500 km were considered. As a result of a comprehensive assessment, which included an analysis of aerodynamic, weight, flight technical, operational and technological indicators, an aircraft layout with an oval cross-section of the fuselage and an integral influx at the wing root, located in a “mid-wing” configuration, was selected for further development.

In 2023, TsAGI began implementing a complex supersonic civil aircraft (SCA
) project aimed at developing technologies to support the creation of the SCA. I will note the main tasks: this is to ensure an acceptable level of sonic boom during supersonic flight and noise on the ground when flying in takeoff and landing modes, high aerodynamic and gas-dynamic characteristics. To comprehensively test all technical solutions, the development of a demonstrator of the Strizh technology complex began, its aerodynamic layout was specified, the main characteristics were determined, and preliminary design documentation was developed for the main components of the airframe.

A new fuselage completed for IL-96. Current and new IL-96 combined 30 to 40 planes operations will give sufficient experience for next generation of widebody. It will need three generation jump in technology. this current IL96 tech level is at earlier 777/A340. than the next has to surpass the next A350/787 versions.

This March, at the Voronezh Aviation Plant (a branch of PJSC Il - VASO), the main work on assembling the fuselage of the next Il-96-300 airliner was completed. The 18-ton unit was rolled out of the general assembly slipway. By the end of March this year, off-site work must be carried out on the fuselage, and then the fuselage will be transferred to the final assembly shop of the aircraft plant.

According to the plan, units of another Il-96-300 aircraft should arrive for final assembly this year. In accordance with the aircraft plant's production plan for 2024, the production of new Il-96-300 aircraft is not envisaged. According to plans, two new production Il-96-300 aircraft should be delivered in 2025 and 2026. - one car, in 2027 - 2 pieces, in 2028 - 2 pieces, 2029 - 3 cars and in 2030 - 2 airliners. All 12 aircraft are expected to be leased to domestic airlines for commercial passenger transportation
At the Voronezh Aviation Plant (VASO), work continues to reactivate and restore the airworthiness of the Il-96-400T cargo aircraft (registration number RA-96101) for Sky Gates Airlines (a subsidiary of Red Wings Airlines). A similar aircraft was transferred to Sky Gates Airlines in August 2023 after undergoing de-preservation work and restoration of airworthiness.

In the video in previous post about IL-114 prototype first flight. there is that Volga car brought for signature. This is part of historic IL tradition since IL-76 first flight in early 1970s where IL head brought his official Car for the first flight. There is plan for modern reincarnation of Volga perhaps in cooperation with Chinese. Auto and Aviation need supply chains much more integrated.
