Russia's Boeing replacement is ready: the IL-96-400M long-haul aircraft has taken to the skies

China should have replaced Boeing with Ilyushin for their commercial planes rather than building the COMAC 919 and 929 planes. This way, Airbus and Ilyushin will provide all the planes for the Chinese commercial plane sector while COMAC spends its resources to focus on building the next generation of commercial airplanes (like supersonic, hypersonic, battery powered engines, etc). Just like how Chinese automobile industry decided to focus on NEVs instead of trying to build more ICE vehicles.

Why compete in an area the west has at least 50 years head start? Why evolutionise when u have the resources to revolutionise?

LOL.. With an old airframe, wings and engine designs from the 80s... It will fly for sure (I flew the IL96) but the economics, flight duration and range will be as well from the 80s... I am not even talking about the tech in the cockpit if you want only Russian made instruments. A good try but many many many decades have been lost to make such a plane commercially viable

Mississippi!

That will be the technological disaster that russia has been trying to build for 30 years and failing! The ministry responsible for its production stated it was inferior to products supplied by Airbus and Boeing! The only commercial operator is the Cuban national airline who have 3 of which 2 are in storage! The poisonous little dwarf in the kremlin uses one to visit his little friends and it makes him feel important! Seriously suggest you don’t bother making anymore of these propaganda videos, you not very good at it!

The US lost a lot of profit. Now the West have another competition.

Never,ever transfer technology to china.

I am seriously impressed with this come back.

Well done Russia!

Very well integrated flight with safe secure, reliable flight's.PD 35 super engine. IL - 96 - 400M is a super Great aircraft, will change the world of civil aviation.

Their cars are still stuck in the 80s so will their plane tech.

SANCTIONS are a form of act of terrorist! Only the ordinary people pay the price for such an act.

Why is Russia so jealous of USA?

клоуны :-)

Russia is not Iraq. Russia can make anything.

There are the third aircraft producer of the world, the Brazilian Embraer

Too bad that Russia chose not to live in peace and cooperation with its neighbour Ukraine. In partnership, with Ukraine's aircraft technology the two countries could have worked together to produce a world-beating range of aircraft. As it is, Russia cannot even produce cars for its own market.

You can tell this is a propaganda piece as they used an auto-voice reader with SEVERAL mistakes. How sloppy and embarrassing for Russia

I wouldn't trust Russia as they RUSHED these to market cutting corners. These will be death traps.

Boeing, Airbus, how about the Brazilian Aerospace company Embraer?

Russia don't trust eneone, should do his own research.

Is the Soviet aircraft more fuel efficient than their previous Russian aircraft?

This is the most stupid video ever! I know Russians are not so bright.... but this?
So, you say daily on Russia1: "the West is bad and we want to kill them!"
The "West" answered: "ok. In this case do not use our planes anymore!"

You take actions and you made new, great Russian planes! Good for you, have a nice flight!
So, why this video in English? 😂 We really do not care! Do the video in Russian, for your people, so they will be proud and they will fly in your new planes!
We will not use your planes so it is just useless info! Omg.... So stupid!

stop playing games with people. That plane is one of those Boeing that Russia took when they went to war with Ukraine.

Russia deserves to have safe aircraft to travel in period. Kudos for going domestic in its aircraft manufacturing!

Why civil engineering??

Just when no one wants 4-engine aircraft, the Russian come out with one.
Just shows how out of touch the Russian are.

CHINA StLong

US doesn't want any country to overtake them, they are most hypocrites

Full of westerners' cold war, zero-sum, and beggar-thy-neighbour babbling.

High time Russia took steps to stop the various Chinese "leaky" friendship offers.

Well good job Russia It was unthinkable that Russia was buying passenger planes from the Nazi of the west before

The voice for this video is AI using western technology. :)

China is building copy of Boeing aa we speak. Russia have the ability to build they own aircraft. China is massive market for the west to lose. China is a bigger market than USA .EU. Canada. Australia and New Zealand all together if India buys cheap Chinese aircraft it be the west with the minno market. Stop making war start doing business. Buy cheap oil

Thank you so much your video From Myanmar.😊

Nice plane , but 4 engines are not as economical as two engines, i hope they put two engines on this plane

What a terrible voice, dont want to listen to it until the end

I'm impressed! In any case, the more competition, the better! Kisses from France ^^

your narrative on China aircraft manufacturing already out of date.. so much BS was said about China microchip industry that it would take China a decade to catch up.. but a few months later as it turns out.. China already a decade a head.. don't try to be clever.. you don't know what's going on behind the scene.. the western chip industry will be decimated within the next few months..

As far as I know, there was no reason for Russia to not cut a deal 30 years ago to produce the 3 engine Lockheed L-1011 in Russia for domestic use. It used Roll Royce engines that were no longer state of the art. The air frame was fairly complex but conventional for the time. Same situation for the re-engined DC8's.

bullshit

A business that wont sell is a NO BusinessMan they work for govt. They are called BusinessPolitician.

LMAOOOO…

A hard slap in the face of the arrogant US. Their own sanctions have only conspired against them.

only Russia and impoverished 3rd world countries will buy this plane. no match for Boeing or Airbus.

It warms my heart to think that Russians will be flying on this thing. Good luck, youre going to need it.

Western sanctions will allow Russian industry to take the leap it needed to develop everything internally...😁

I've had a doubt in my mind for a long time, how is it possible for someone to build spaceships and not know how to build a fucking plane.

У меня долгое время были сомнения, как можно строить космические корабли и не знать, как построить чертов самолет.

So you are saying Russia is ahead of the West in civil aviation industry. But there are two problems? Has Russia sanctioned the West back in the industry? If no, then Russia is encouraging sanctions because there will be no consequences. Next, Russia seems to have so many companies in the industry whereas if they put all under one umbrella, they could have a distinct name and work faster. Finally, I think BRICS+ should come up with an agreement on supporting and enhancing industries within the block.

Os chineses fazem muito melhor que este avião velho russo.
