(1,779 posts)that will increasingly become a serious problem for Russian aviation in general.
Flow of most parts have stopped, and much of their aviation equipment was leased, and they confiscated a lot of it, pissing off a lot of people around the globe. Even their own Russian built aircraft are littered with imported parts, engines, electronics, and they currently don't have any way to fill in those voids. Maint. checks and all similar scheduled procedures will become increasingly difficult, and eventually impossible to perform, leaving them with airplanes that cannot fly in the near future.
The question is will they keep flying them in a poorly maintained condition.
I know they are trying to ramp up production of their own equipment using Russian engines, etc, but even the avionics and parts for all of that are currently almost all imported there.
The aviation industry there is already in trouble, and it's going to get very bad in the near future.

(14,856 posts)Sites in Europe ask permission before they install cookies or collect information about you. You have the option to say no and can still read the site.
Sites in the US just do all of those things without asking. Do you think that's better?
