Final Nail in the Coffin of Russian Antonov
Rusisan Press is trying to spin this as a victory of the IL76 But AN70 was aimed to replace the AN12 not the IL76

This is a bit of Economic Warfare targeting the Ukrainian state who Owns Antonov. This will also Direct The eventual An12 Replacement to the United Aircraft Corporation IL214 Currently under conceptualization.

Russia's Defense Ministry has excluded military transport aircraft of the Russian-Ukrainian An-70 development of the state armaments program. This is "News" reported in the Russian Defense Ministry. Russian Defense Ministry had until 2020 to buy 60 aircraft of this type. However, the Ukrainian side has frozen joint developmental work (OCD). Kiev "Antonov" independently completed work on the aircraft and tested, and the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine takes it into service in the current year.
Joint development work kontruktorskaya Russia and Ukraine on the project began in 2010. At the same time, according to the Defense Ministry, Russia has paid 2.95 billion rubles for carrying out these works.
In April 2011, Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov said that the purchase of 60 production vehicles incorporated into the program re-Sun 2011-2020. In June 2012, the commander of the military transport aviation Russia Lieutenant General Victor Kachalkin confirmed that the Air Force in 2014-2020 years will receive 60 AN-70. The cost of one AN-70 would be $ 67 million.
- Russia and Ukraine - he recalled - create operational and tactical military transport aircraft An-70.End of R & D is expected in the current year. We very much hope to get a new operational-tactical aircraft designed to transport personnel and other tasks. And in August, Anatoly Serdyukov announced the beginning of a new stage of flight tests of the An-70.
In February 2013, Russian Ambassador to Ukraine Mikhail Zurabov during his speech in the "Rossotrudnichestvo" said the possible and the full cancellation of the order for the An-70, citing the fact that Russia has begun to produce IL-476. Later, Defense Minister Pavel Lebedev confirmed that Russia really has frozen the project for the joint development and testing of new AN-70.
In October of the same year at a meeting of prime ministers of Russia and Ukraine, it was agreed on the completion of joint testing AN-70 to February 1, 2014. The Parties agreed that their follow-up decision will be taken on the organization of serial production of this car.
After removal from power of Viktor Yanukovych Ukrainian side finalizes draft their own. In April last year, "Antonov" completed the test, and in January 2015 the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine adopted the AN-70 into service.
According to a source in the Defense Ministry, the Defense Ministry is now considering filing a lawsuit to recover 2.95 billion rubles, which were transferred to the SE "Antonov" for the design of the AN-70.
Last year, the Ministry of Defence has to sue the Moscow Arbitration Court for the recovery of 103 million rubles from the Ukrainian company. Russian military demanded a penalty from the Ukrainian aircraft designers for delay in execution of works on creation and development of AN-70. As a result, the court sided with the Ministry of Defense, and the appellate and cassation courts have upheld the decision of the first instance.
An-70 - military transport aircraft short takeoff and landing, including the non-equipped runways. The aircraft has a top speed of over 750 km / h and to fly a distance of 7.8 thousand. Km. Carrying capacity of AN-70 is 47 m.
- An-70 was initially quite uncertain and likely political project - says Irina Kirin, editor in chief of the magazine "Defense of Russia", the official publication of the Military-Industrial Commission of the Russian Federation. - We have resumed participation in it in 2010. It was something like an act of goodwill after the cooling of relations [ during the "orange revolution"]. Then the Ministry of Defense aircraft included in SAP and prepay OCD. We needed a medium transport aircraft, but for some reason, in the end, "Antonov" began to develop severe, despite the fact that in Russia, this niche is already occupied by IL-76.
Kirin said that the price of the aircraft was initially overpriced, and the calculation of the expected payments for after-sales service boards, royalties for trademark and design support, the whole project seemed to her inappropriate.
- In fact, these aircraft - the second "Mistral". They are held hostage to the political situation and uncivilized, mutually counterproductive
