"Yesterday, I was still a little sweet, today, I will become the cow lady", the domestic Russian-made "Il-76" large strategic transport aircraft had to face the reality, secretly gave up a lot of opportunities to the "Yun-20" fat domestic large transport aircraft, their own old Ji Futuo, silently contributed to the rest of their lives.
At that time, our country was quite short of large transport aircraft, and in the case of no way, it urgently signed an agreement with Russia to purchase 38 Il-76/Il-78s, including 30 Il-76 transport aircraft and 8 modified Il-78 tankers.
Unexpectedly, Russia has delayed and continuously increased prices, and actually asked the mainland to significantly increase its costs so that it can re-establish a new supply chain system and new production lines, and the specific date of production of the Il-76 is uncertain.
This means that rebuilding the Il-76 production system is all for the mainland, so the continent must bear the full cost, and it is not certain that it will be able to give you goods.
Just like, I buy you the same product, need to invest in you to build a factory, buy production equipment, as for when to deliver, but also depends on the progress of research and development, even after production, maybe you will give priority to supply to yourself, I still have to stand on the side, waiting in line.
In the end, there was really no way, and the mainland tearfully cancelled the order. The old "Il-76" that was directly sealed in Russia for more than twenty years was finally cobbled together and sailed to the mainland after a simple upgrade and life extension.
And the "Il-78 tanker" Russia does not have at all, the mainland went to Ukraine to find and seal the old "Il-78 tanker", after modernization and upgrading, successively to the mainland, so that the mainland finally has a strategic refueling tanker, but also obtained the relevant hose refueling technology, but also finally let the range of the fighter has a multiplier, become a quasi-strategic air force.
It can be said that none of the "Il-76" strategic transport aircraft equipped by the mainland in the past were new aircraft that had just been produced, and all of them were old, modernized and upgraded second-hand mobile phones.
It was not until 2016, with the self-developed "Y-20" fat and large transport aircraft in service, that the mainland really had a new strategic transport aircraft.
It is precisely because the "Il-76" large transport aircraft is too old, so in recent years, the general large-scale transport tasks are handed over to the "Y-20", one is because the "Y-20" needs to be experienced, to test its reliability and the feasibility of new technologies, but also because the "Il-76" large transport aircraft need to be cherished, so that they have more service time, and they will be of great use in the future.
Therefore, we can see the touching scene of the "Y-20" strategic transport aircraft transporting a large number of PLA medical personnel to Wuhan to support.
It can also be seen that the mainland's "Y-20" large strategic transport aircraft is full of anti-epidemic materials and cross-border support for the "Pakistan Railway" Pakistan.
Recently, the mainland's "Y-20" large-scale strategic transport aircraft is not far away, stopping at several national airports, and on time to transport the daily materials of the mainland to Aid Tonga to Tonga International Airport, so that the people of Tonga can get the materials they need in time, feel the enthusiasm and concern of the people from the mainland, and make the friendship between the mainland and Tonga go to a higher level.
