Di Dalam Pabrik Kazan - Krisis Produksi Tu-214 Rusia

In this video, we explore Russia's high-risk civil aviation through the Tu-214 program. The Kazan Aircraft Plant, named after S.P. Gorbunov, is a key node in Rostec and United Aircraft Corporation's national aviation plans, tasked with shifting to serial production of the Tu-214 after Western deliveries were halted. By 2025, the plant is expected to complete only one aircraft, far below the planned three and the long-term goal of 20 per year. We assess internal obstacles—skill shortages, plant modernization, supply chain issues—that impede production, and examine how moving to 100% domestic avionics and components delays deliveries and raises costs. The gap between ambitious national targets (10 in 2025, 20 in 2028-29) and current output reveals deeper structural problems in Russian civil aviation, and we discuss what this means for Russia's ambition to replace Airbus/Boeing aircraft and restore flight independence. Join us as we break down the numbers, virtually tour the plant, and ask what it takes for the Tu-214 to truly take off.
