9:32 pm
for the full story we've got it from. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the. spotlight on r.t. . and today my guest in the studio. for engineering technologies two thousand permits to put. tough competition russian aircraft manufacturing companies are capable penetrating global markets besides famous russian fighter jets several civil projects that
9:33 pm
could become a success globally and one hundred media. is one of our guests in the studio today is the first vice president of the united aircraft corporation to talk about the plans and the problems of the russian aircraft industry. have been dominating much of the world skies comparatively cheap they remain an attractive alternative to more expensive western model. is being tested now and some foreign experts say the team is better than its american rivals. is a flying high and computer and russians are especially proud because the. main components besides produce a. passenger plane. it's a replacement for planes and poor brands and so what else is coming from the hangar . maker the c.e.o.
9:34 pm
. will spill the beans on today's edition of. there is to tell mr bossie on and thanks for joining us below. the first thing that comes to mind when you talk about. the recent presentation of a fifth generation fighter jet back at the prime minister putin attended for resign a grown tests done and fly tests have still ahead that does this mean that russia is still a world leader and military aircraft. certainly our positions in military aircraft manufacturing are a quite strong explode. in the ground for twenty four percent of the world's military aircraft exports in terms of output as well so we manufacture it twelve to fourteen percent of all military aircraft so there we were you.
9:35 pm
telling me this is that so much to do it's any country make more across the american city of the middle of the united states it covers more than fifty percent of the world's military aircraft market. so is the world's number three producer but the first two places are taken by a wall keyed and boeing will keep the wall which mainly provide aircraft what the u.s. department of defense used. for the counter bombs going to i would get. no waste a beach in the way it's recently china presented its new fighter jet cold f c one. mistaken it looks very much like our su twenty seven but i think it's also cheaper so two questions here first do you see this as dumping and will russia take any measures to protect its intellectual property which they have to skip iowa. years ago there were russian federation and the people's republic of china has signed a contract for the licensed production of ass-u.
9:36 pm
twenty seven in china. is. and you do some contract with russia wants to supply ports for certain number of points but will china wants to manufacture a certain number of fear prattles that would in the deal also included some other provisions the possibility of more not a single year craft them developing these program further who could make honestly we do have some questions concerning the way disagreement is being implemented but it's the russian chinese commission for military technical cooperation is looking into these matters so i will soon work out a mutually acceptable solution as a regards were attempting our intellectual property and developing this project further but the only one so you do have questions about this i crossed so it's not clear what it's a violation of and lois had to figure that out but we do have questions and we have to discuss this matter in detail with all partners which is what our agencies and experts on both sides are doing now. which.
9:37 pm
you've mentioned america being a lotus manufacturer of military aircraft as well to do it but it was primarily because the u.s. department of defense had a pentagon is yes made. that yes the u.s. market is the largest nor is russia mostly produces a for export as i understand it i can say that over the past twenty years the russian defense ministry of purchased almost no new planes for it but all are achievements in the industry are based on our mass production for export oil but now the situation is changing. it is the i was just about to ask whether the russian defense ministry and the air force are ready to develop and to become your major customers. had to be serious i was. assured no defense minister he's i'm just trading has already become one of our major customers in two thousand and eight two thousand and nine we signed a contract to supply more than
9:38 pm
a hundred in fifty aircraft to. ministry a lot of news to one hundred plus just go and thirty laws make planes. i believe the defense ministry plans to continue mining new aircraft for the air force. planes that were manufactured before the nine hundred ninety s. are gradually being commissioned so one of the. most of the points sukhoi produce will go through the defense ministry. of course so this will add to our instability. and help us promote our products on the international market as well. well just ten years ago. now back with a new generation jet on the market spotlights you know. that. the
9:39 pm
pride of russia's aviation industry don't you wish to change a ration fighter jet fifty was unveiled to the public at the beginning of the year the jets most outstanding characteristics i mean stealth and its ability to fly at supersonic speeds for the duration of its flight it's said to possess twice the range of its american equivalent and is expected to capture a large part of the market when it comes into service in three years time in this says it wants to buy up to two hundred fifty of these jets and the demand for them is only expected to greece is there going to be cheaper than those from the u.s. but what's probably more important for russians is that civil aviation is also showing signs of after almost twenty years of decline the first post so if it doesn't get plane this jet one hundred was presented to the international public at last year's paris show how about the super jets main task is not so much to impress
9:40 pm
potential for in customers but to replace the outdated. wings currently used by russian airlines the driving force behind the regeneration of the russian navy is its goal when cooper ration with bars what started as just supply oprah materials is great really turned into joint research and it can only chip projects in the past five years where she has increased state funding of the industry play twenty times but it still might take keys if not decades for the civil segment of russian aviation to keep up with its western counterparts like boeing boss. that now after watching this video i have a question let's compare airplanes and cause it's a fiesta my formula one race cars will are basically policy models to try out new technology that will later be implemented in mass produced because you don't have
9:41 pm
to be so is there a similar situation in your industry that once you develop a new technology for combat aircraft do you then apply it in civil aviation when there is that there is a. well she's torricelli military aviation has always been the driving force behind the aircraft manufacturing industry where many new materials like thirteen email always which are widely used in civil aviation to date were initially developed for military purposes and the same goes for every onyx. the military industry was leading the way and then it's to knowledge use who were integrated into civil aviation but now the situation has changed due to a two way street on the one hand you have military technologies developed for military programs simpler mounted in civil aviation but on the other hand me things invented for civil aviation. for military planes for example boeing seven hundred
9:42 pm
eighty seven on the it's you so. composed of materials so it's a whole new level aircraft design. so if we want to be a world leader in aircraft manufacturing we should develop both the military and civil sector. i know that fuel company plans to increase the share of civil aircraft because so far you make money mostly by making military acromion. do you plan to increase the share of civil aircraft by means of the russian market or are you planning to promote your products more aggressively worldwide. there is no russian market in the aircraft industry there is the world market would do if we want to succeed and this applies to both military and civil programs we have to consider the world aircraft market and the reason we have been successful with our military aircraft is because we considered the situation on the world market and we
9:43 pm
made them competitive over the same goes for civil aviation but you when you said something strange just now what do you mean there is no domestic market. here traffic inside russia is so low that you can't rely on it to produce an airplane that would be able to compete against western aircraft was up to if we consider only the russian market with our planes wound stand competition with that or would you consider that's why we have to go by world standards will actually our airlines who want the same flawed doesn't want to buy russian planes often theory or quality used but once aircraft was superior to those used by its rivals do you. think that through it by the way an aeroflot offended your company just the other day they appealed to the russian leadership saying they wanted to become a monopolist you had to and they said that health of the planes they buy would be right and the other half knowing does this mean that they're not going to buy your
9:44 pm
plane said old. sirius no we have a contract with air flight for thirty planes with an option for them to buy more later one of three of those are regional class planes and we just last for short medium and long range airliners at this point in the united aircraft corporation cannot alone for air flow planes that would be able to compete against boeing or airbus should just be so in the future we would like to share more civil points to offer but to date with your forty's our strategic partner for regional class planes . they should choose what's made this medium range sukhoi superjet project nor successful event. tuple if t u three thirty four if i got its name right there no one particular well that's because we design our plane for the future is not for today and another thing when you launch a new project you have to keep it short well you can take ten years to design
9:45 pm
a new plane or they will have to keep it short. some say is because two people have did everything on its own up while saeco used for in technology. from the very outset and so we decided that we wanted our products to have international certificates we wanted to have an airplane that we would be able to offer to both domestic and foreign customers consequently we had to impose strict requirements on our contractors before they had to provide international certificates for the ports they provided and we had a cost limitations because we have to compete against western mass produced aircraft including in terms of both plants and floetry loans believe we came up with a better one hundred passenger aircraft for the regional market was one of we used a number of new technological solutions that made it competitive from school for example it's a control system to use the safest in its class so if it meets the highest international standards and it's more comfortable compared to other regional planes
9:46 pm
then there is a number of other technological solutions because she says. general director of the whole company spotlight will be back shortly right after a break so stay with us then. hungry for the full story we've got it first hand the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. welcome back to spotlight time our nabhan just a reminder that my guest in the studio today. the first vice president of the united aircraft corporation he's also the head of the. camp and.
9:47 pm
the man who who makes all the jet planes in this country nearly all of the. sky expressions what if you're coming back to your favorite brainchild of the super. tankers sad they would hit the market in the summer of two thousand and ten which means pretty soon. at the very keeping up with the timetable that. we do we have twelve planes and being a sambil there to come some malls going on all the different stages but hell many do you need to hit the market to come to the market it's enough to supply the first plane to your customer going through our plans we are to supply the first three planes to the airport in our mob our first customers how many have you sell today to us today our stock of orders is worth in a hundred and twenty points there's already sold yes in a move received advance payments from our customers so it's all about how much is the advance payment in relation to the full price also the percentage varies i
9:48 pm
would how much do you like to get the world personally i don't have any particular preferences in the smaller the advance payment to the higher the price so the bigger the advance payment will lower the price. so it's not really important to the companies as to how much does this super jet cost and there are various modifications so that catalog rise to varies between twenty five and twenty eight million dollars. that's the basic price so in reality though we offer discounts and the market price is subject to bilateral agreements which when the company and its customers spotlights on their. try to find out if people here in russia trust russian aircraft here's what you came up with hi there well some say that it is safe to travel by plane them by car however it seems that you have more control when you are the one on the plane with them and chris no flights
9:49 pm
miniscule ready to get a word interest. let's see if. those bullets if they. yes i do i think. it is new russian planes have always been technically. because i. don't really trust russia. no i don't would actually lose. parts i don't trust aircraft. i'm scared. to be honest with you.
9:50 pm
guest. craft. next question is. considering the fact that as you've just seen many people tend to distrust. even tourist companies as they run their advertising campaigns promise you'll be flying a boeing. talking about similar. points right. well over the past twenty years we have developed a very few new plane models and as a result certain amount of distrust has built up because a russian made planes in the early companies used to do mostly old ones.
9:51 pm
he said you know even if we take those critical things that we've just mentioned the picture that emerges is an accurate one on the one hand they point to high level of technology and a high level of reliability but breakdowns are rather frequent because of the like of servicing exploits you know it at that it depends on the company that operates then right this is also true somewhat often russian made planes are inferior to their foreign made counterparts in that they enjoy less maintenance i mean. we're putting most serious sampras's on organizing a worldwide after sales service system that can meet more than standards for considering that as a no less important than developing an aircraft complex within the framework of superjet one hundred projects. most attention to infrastructure and servicing all over the world would you not responsible to passengers it's a rational way in which we weren't before the responsibility was we have air companies currently both in military and similar craft it's the manufacturer and
9:52 pm
that should be our responsibility for after sales service and we are organizing a special structure that will keep aircraft in terms of throughout their service life the space should what all the legal aspects to say you'll move through aircraft from flights that has to be for maintenance we must assure such reliability that airlines would be able to operate the plane between the scheduled maintenance periods and the maintenance schedule will be part of the contract or go would have. wished there was future if so you can ban in a craft from being upgraded if it fails to get maintenance that's not our goal or third goal is to work together with the airlines and provide everything necessary for a successful operation off aircraft on with what the. something he has planned today but note something we're already doing we want and we have been doing these even before we supplied our first aircraft to customers. we've begun talking about seacrest cooperation with foreign companies. do you plan to expand this cup aeration would have been the reason to kill to bring the entire production chain
9:53 pm
back to russia like it was in the soviet times. of course we should increase russia's sheer in the production of equipment but since we consider the world market we should coppery it with the world's leading components like manufacturers and i see it is our strategy vector to my mind or russia possesses a lot of skills like software development the high intellectual resource of the engineer personnel the manse russian industry and so forth with these comparable modern industries are emerging as well you know that makes it possible to increase the sheriff russian made in future planes a little. bit the does this international cooperation have a matthew elements to it let me explain what i mean will come with mystify manco the maker of the new russian super come once came to the studio and was sitting where you're sitting right now he said he had been told in seoul breaks made by bosch and other foreign made components in which case had been promised there would
9:54 pm
be no problem certificate why is it he said he wanted to use only russian parts no one would say he fired they told him is there anything like that innovation. yeah you. know i don't see anything like that all you need is a sufficient amount of skills and experience because you can certified almost anything but will if you certify something that was never certified before you have to realize that their certification cycle will take a lot of time we must make products that will come to the market within rather a brief time frame of course there's no question of protectionism oh no. so there is no direct protectionism is another question it's more of a political nature but you are the right person to ask about it the bulk of the soviet military transport aircraft industry was left in ukraine as i understand well one tonfa was the main manufacturer in this class so what's your plan will you
9:55 pm
try to make something new on your own so i know you have a plant income some more are you working with the ukrainians russia today has some experience in making military transport planes for example i also do a six was one of the main planes used by the defense ministry for transportation as well today the aleutian company has a number of projects but of course we are actively discussing the possibility of integrating russian aircraft industry if you will of the anton of company in some other plants in ukraine i see some promise in that you know i think that we should pool our resources and afterwards to my mind this may be a very effective with the expertise that russia and ukraine have any area of military transport aircraft and i think we can be very successful oh right we've discussed cooperation with china we said there are a few problems but you've promised that they will be results we've also talked
9:56 pm
about cut the ration with ukraine now about india. they're both from the fact that we sell many military planes to india there is also a russian intend project to develop a multiple transport plane yes how is the project going and when will we have the first results. for dinners in aircraft manufacturing and this goes beyond military planes like you just said this includes transport planes as well they were a program of building the su thirty m. . very successful. india produces this aircraft under license from the one with the multipurpose transport plane program. we progressed from a regular solar by relationship with food fledged war to shipping producing more than aircraft was the proposals were also considering a similar partnership for the fifth generation project of which we also mentioned today by the way but i think we'll have some results in the next few years and this
9:57 pm
year i expect that we'll sign action plans for both programs. transport plane and that of the fifth generation and the last question could you reveal a secret and tell us whether russia is going to build its own drones or continue to buy them from israel it's the moon designing non-managerial planes is one of our priorities for you definitely get the full so you all waiting on it should the bill put it you will assume is the defense minister gives us a definite list of required characteristics for this plane we will be able to start hurting on this project directly in situations where a small number of drones are necessary i think they can be purchased from israel with enclosed space of a spicy of a thank you very much for being with us and just to remind that my guest in the studio today was. general director of the oil and make companies and the head of the first wife president of the russian state
9:58 pm
and the asian building corporation and that's it for now from all of us here will be back with more first and comments i was going on in and outside russia until then stay on our t.v. and take care of.
