Now It is crucial for Pakistan to upgrade its air force fleet with the latest aircraft so that it has the option to choose Turkish defense manufacturing. The Turkish Air Force just got its first F-16 fighter plane that was upgraded locally. As part of Turkish Aerospace Industries’ Project Ozgur, the aircraft has been modernized. Pakistan also may get similar assistance to upgrade its fleet in the upcoming days.

When Turkey’s first fifth-generation fighter, the TAI Kaan, completes its developmental trials around 2030, Pakistan has indicated an interest in purchasing it from Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI).

Turkish engineers hope to make their fifth-generation aircraft more competitive with the US F35 or the Russian Su-57. However, it will take some time as the Turkish manufacturing industry’s biggest problems are the engines and avionics, which they are always working to resolve.

Currently, Turkey manages the majority of aircraft, although it is working to acquire engines, many of which may come from Rolls-Royce for its KAAN TFX fighter.

Bringing back its Boeing 777 aircraft from Russia is currently a nightmare for Air India

Published

By

On June 6, an Air India direct flight AI173 carrying over 200 people from Delhi to San Francisco, California, had to make an emergency landing in Magadan, Far Eastern Russia. After 40 or so hours, the stranded passengers were finally transported to San Francisco by a different airline.

Bringing back its Boeing 777 aircraft from Russia is currently a nightmare for Air India. Since there was a technical issue and the plane had to land in Magadan, efforts were made to transport the passengers from the ferry flight.

Let’s learn more about the problems with aviation. The majority of long-haul flights have technical problems, mostly engine-related. Now that certain airlines have received necessary ground support from other airlines, flying foreign airlines into Russia, which has already received sanctions from Western countries, has been restricted.

231 Air India passengers were from India, the U.S., and Canada. Due to an engine issue, Boeing spent over two days in Magadan. The travelers’ sleeping arrangements were made at a school, a dorm, and the House of Culture. Everyone was fed, given water, and loaded onto a backup aircraft.

However, the Air India AI173 flight from Delhi to Magadan is still present in the Russian tundra. As officials work to find a means to bring the aircraft out and back to India, it is likely to stay that way for a while, perhaps months.

There are various factors to take into account regarding the shipment if Air India is required to transport a spare engine and receives approval as well.

Trucks are the greatest option for moving aircraft engines, however, flying is also an option for farther distances.

The only option for plane India is plane travel. Specialized equipment is necessary for this as well.

The majority of AN 132 and other aircraft can carry a spare engine, however owing to the Ukraine issue, this aircraft may not be available, thus it must approve other cargo aircraft to carry additional engines.

According to the Dutch air freight company VRR Aero, the PZE engine stands pallet is the best and only option for transferring jet engines to the main deck of wide-bodied aircraft like the Boeing 777.

In addition, there are more airborne methods for moving aircraft engines. Air freight is frequently transported by the enormous Antonov 124 aircraft.

The problem, though, is that a sizable portion of these Antonov freight planes are either in Russia or Ukraine. One of these airplanes, Mriya, was damaged during the battle in Ukraine. There are just five, mostly in Europe, outside of Russia and the Ukraine.
