“Our aircraft manufacturers face the task of ensuring the pace of production and delivery of new aircraft demanded by the Russian Ministry of Defense. UAC experts are also involved in maintaining the operational readiness and restoring the airworthiness of combat vehicles. The aircraft transferred to the troops are distinguished by high flight performance and maneuverability characteristics. The Su-35S are equipped with the most advanced equipment and long-range information and sighting systems. Modern onboard systems enable high-speed communication and information exchange between aircraft and ground control points, as well as between aircraft,” said Vladimir Artyakov, First Deputy General Director of the Rostec State Corporation.
Today, KnAAZ carries the name Yu.A. Gagarin, the company continues to fulfill the state defense order for the supply of Su-35S and Su-57 combat vehicles to the Russian Aerospace Forces.
“We produce Su-35S aircraft at the highest technological level thanks to large-scale modernization of production, which has been carried out at the Komsomol plant in recent years and is still ongoing. This includes a production line, new Russian machines, and a test facility. The rapid adaptation of production to the growing needs of the aerospace forces has become possible thanks to significant government investments in the development of the plant,” said UAC General Director Yuri Slyusar.
The increase in the utilization of production capacity poses challenges for KnAAZ to improve the skills of existing employees and attract new personnel in basic worker and engineering specialties. By the end of 2024, the number of aircraft manufacturers is expected to increase by another 800 people.
