/RUSSIA, MOSCOW/ The metro station at Vnukovo Airport will open in 2023. Construction readiness is currently 60%. It will be possible to get to the airport from the center of Moscow (without transfers) by a direct line in about 40 minutes. Vnukovo will be the first airport in Russia with its own metro station and it will be possible to get here for only the price of one trip. In Domodedovo and Sheremetyevo, they cry and bite their elbows, in Zhukovsky (ZIA) they plan to close altogether soon. Vnukovo taxi drivers are now thinking of going to courses for programmers and florists together. But it is not exactly. /photos from the Telegram of S.S. Sobyanin./

Nouvelair Tunisie resumes flights to Tunisia from Moscow's Vnukovo airport. The first flight is April 8th. The airport of destination in Tunisia is Monastir. Aircraft type - Airbus A320. At the time of publication on the airline's website, there are still no tickets for sale in this direction.

On March 14, Vladimir Putin visited a helicopter plant in Ulan-Ude (Russia). About 15 minutes "flew" with an instructor in the Mil Mi-171A2 helicopter simulator at the aviation training center. He himself raised the helicopter into the air, flew over the city day and night, he landed the board himself. According to Kommersant (newspaper), before that, Putin already had experience of taking off and flying on a military flight simulator - he was able to take off on a combat aircraft from a virtual aircraft carrier, but could not cope with the landing - the plane crashed on the deck.

The CBS TV-channel modeled the American version, according to which the Sukhoi Su-27 of the Russian Aerospace Forces dropped their reconnaissance and strike UAV MQ-9 Reaper directly into the Black Sea near the Crimea coast. That's how it was or not, it doesn't matter, but the Russian pilot should be awarded.

Rostec announced the signing of firm contracts for the production of 71 passenger aircraft and 107 helicopters. Deliveries for the next two years are expected as follows: - in 2023-2025 Aeroflot will receive 63 aircraft. 18 aircraft - MS-21, 34 aircraft - SSJ-NEW, 11 aircraft - Tu-214. - 17 Russian airlines will receive 86 Mi-8AMT/Mi-8MTV-1 helicopters. - the Far Eastern Russian airline "Aurora" in 2024-2026 will receive 8 SSJ-NEW aircraft, 10 Mi-171A2 helicopters and 11 Mi-171A3 helicopters. I would like to hope that the deadlines are not pushed to the right, as usual. Yes, and not just once because it turns out, for example, that another imported piece of exclusively domestic production was made in Taiwan and brought to a Russian warehouse even before the sanctions.
