Sanctions made 🇷🇺Russia the most UNSTOPPABLE aviation power in the world. 🇺🇸US: This is unbelievable… We tried to kill the Russian aircraft industry with sanctions! 🇷🇺Russia: You totally underestimated us. Thanks for the push. 🇷🇺Russia: Now we have the first serial-production MC-21 — 100% Russian, zero Western parts. 🇺🇸US: No Pratt & Whitney engines?! How is that even possible?! 🇷🇺Russia: Pure PD-14 engines + fully domestic systems. 🇷🇺Russia: 163–211 seats.

Meanwhile, Putin arrived at an aircraft plant in Irkutsk and is delighted with the long-suffering "Russian-made" MS-21 airliner. They showed him the supposed production of the first 18 aircraft, but it is just dust in the eyes of the dictator. The MS-21 is more than 10 years behind schedule. Development costs have ballooned from 150 billion to over 1 trillion rubles, and the unit cost has roughly tripled. Due to sanctions, the plane gained 5–6 tons in weight, lost half its range, was shortened, and now carries almost 30% fewer passengers. By mid-2026, only a third of the required test flights with Russian components had been completed.

The light Russian helicopter Mi-34M1 with a VK-650V engine has made its first flight as part of the flight test program, according to the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade. Equipped with a new engine, the helicopter has received modern onboard systems of Russian production. "The main purpose of this machine is passenger transportation, monitoring, flight training, and aviation sports," said Sergey Chemezov, the CEO of the Rostec State Corporation. The Mi-34M1 will be able to replace old Soviet-made helicopters, as well as foreign light helicopters from companies such as Bell and Airbus. - AN

The first Airbus #A400M for the Indonesian Air Force has entered the Final Assembly Line (FAL) in Seville, marking a significant milestone in the production of this multirole tanker and transport aircraft ahead of its delivery by the end of 2025. During this phase of assembly, key production milestones have been completed, including the attachment of the Horizontal Tail Plane (HTP) to the Vertical Tail Plane (VTP) and the integration of the wings to the fuselage. The aircraft, production number MSN148, will next undergo installation of its power plant and software, followed by a series of functional tests prior to its first engine run. The Indonesia Ministry of Defence 🇮🇩 ordered two Airbus A400Ms ✈️ in 2021, which will significantly enhance the Indonesian Air Force’s operational flexibility, supporting strategic and tactical missions, humanitarian assistance, medical evacuation, and aerial refuelling.

$🚨🇷🇺 NATO NIGHTMARE: RUSSIA STARTS BUILDING LOW-COST 5TH-GEN CHECKMATE FIGHTER Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation has taken a major step forward in pragmatic military innovation — work has started on the first flight prototype of the S-75 Checkmate, a single-engine 5th-generation stealth fighter built to deliver serious capability at a fraction of Western costs. 🔸 The S-75 employs a true high-low mix strategy by leveraging proven Su-57 engines, composites, weapons and avionics to slash development time and costs. 🔸 The program targets first flight in 2027 after incorporating major design refinements drawn from real-world Su-57 experience. 🔸 The fighter is designed for both Russian Aerospace Forces and export customers, with Belarus co-production talks already underway. 🔸 The S-75 promises dramatically lower procurement and lifetime operating costs than any competing Western 5th-gen fighter. 🔸 The aircraft will allow Russia to expand its combat fleet size, increase pilot training hours, and dominate price-sensitive export markets. Do you think affordability is becoming a bigger military advantage than cutting-edge technology after the lessons of the Russia–Ukraine and U.S.–Iran conflicts?$

🇩🇪🇺🇸 NEW: Germany’s First F-35 Has Entered Its Final Stage, Europe’s Air Power Is Changing Lockheed Martin has completed final assembly of Germany’s first F-35A Lightning II, with the aircraft now moving into the final finishing stage for its exterior and stealth coating. The aircraft, designated MG-01, is the first of 35 F-35As Germany ordered to replace its aging Tornado fleet. Once delivered, Germany will gain a fifth generation fighter built around stealth, advanced sensors, electronic warfare, sensor fusion and networked combat, giving the Luftwaffe a major new capability at the heart of Europe. The first German F-35s are scheduled for training in the United States before aircraft begin arriving at Büchel from 2027. Germany’s first F-35 is almost ready. A new era of German air power is taking shape.

🇺🇦🇷🇺 JUST IN: Ukraine’s strikes are forcing Russia to IMPORT jet fuel for its military aviation. Moscow has reportedly received around 70,000 tons of Jet A-1 from South Korea and Egypt after damage to Russian refineries reduced domestic aviation fuel production, according to Ukraine’s military intelligence. The imported fuel can be used by Russian combat aircraft and strike drones. Ukraine is hitting Russia where it hurts, the fuel powering the war machine.

One Last Tow Before the Scrap Yard ✈️ A retired New Pacific 757-200 is making its final journey , not to another airport, but toward the scrapyard at Mojave Air & Space Port. Once built to cross oceans and carry hundreds of passengers, this 757 is now being towed toward the end of its story. From takeoff rolls to its final tow… every aircraft eventually has a last flight. Would you rather see retired airliners preserved in museums, or is recycling them the right way to give the aircraft a second life? 👇 With sdf.planespotting

For the first time in roughly a decade, an Iranian civilian airliner flew directly from Tehran to Sana'a to bring officials from the Houthi-led government to Ayatollah Khamenei's funeral. Saudi Arabia reportedly attempted to stop the flight but ultimately did not. There has been no direct official air link between Iran and Ansarallah-controlled Sana'a for nearly ten years. Sana'a airport itself has repeatedly been attacked, and its only passenger aircraft destroyed in an Israeli strike last year. Iranian analysts argue this flight is intended to be the first of many. If sustained, it would represent the gradual breaking of Yemen's air siege and the establishment of a permanent Tehran-Sana'a corridor for diplomatic, commercial, and broader strategic ties. Viewed alongside Hormuz and Lebanon, the flight reflects a broader Iranian postwar strategy. Tehran appears intent on using the leverage it gained during the war to reshape the regional balance in its favor. That means not only easing pressure on Iran itself, but on its "Axis of Resistance" allies—from using the MOU to press for Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon to now challenging the decade-long isolation of its ally in Sana'a.

The making of the Airbus A380 - building the world's largest passenger aircraft The Airbus A380 was designed to move more passengers farther and quieter than any aircraft before it. Its development brought together engineering teams from across Europe to create a true aviation giant. Major sections of the A380 are manufactured in different countries. The wings are built in the United Kingdom, the fuselage sections in Germany and France, the cockpit and nose in France, and the horizontal tail plane in Spain. These massive components are transported by Beluga aircraft, ships, and special road convoys to the final assembly line in Toulouse, France ملم The A380 uses advanced aluminum alloys and composite materials to handle extreme structural loads while keeping weight under control. Its wings are the largest ever fitted to a passenger aircraft, designed to flex several meters upward in flight without damage. Inside, the aircraft features a full-length double-deck cabin, advanced fly-by-wire systems, and one of the most complex electrical and hydraulic architectures ever installed on a civil airliner After assembly, each A380 undergoes extensive ground tests, system checks, and flight testing to certify performance, safety, and reliability before entering airline service
