Moment Russia began to invade Ukraine. The aviation industry, and particularly the airlines, collapsed as a result of sanctions the West imposed on Russia.
Russia is currently in a difficult situation and is doing everything in its power to maintain the system’s functionality. It has also started taking steps to defend its manufacturing firm, which produces planes for its domestic carriers.
however, the lack of pilots presents yet another difficulty. Recently, Russia’s transport ministry advised that a pilot should be knowledgeable about and capable of repairing their aircraft.

Pilots should simultaneously be both pilots and aircraft technicians, according to the Ministry of Industry and Trade.
“Together with the Ministry of Transport, we must train and certify pilots as universal fighters: they must simultaneously be pilots and aircraft technicians. And the equipment should provide for the possibility of field repairs in operation,” said Oleg Bocharov, Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Industry and Trade, speaking at the session “Air transport accessibility of the Far East in conditions of turbulence” as part of the Eastern Economic Forum. reports say
We are talking about pilots, primarily of regional aviation, for which a fundamentally new system for maintaining the airworthiness of new types of domestic regional aircraft should be created.
Simultaneously with the work to bring the Baikal to the market in the basic configuration by 2023, the Ministry of Industry and Trade, according to the Deputy Minister, launched a number of works that allow improving the aircraft in operation and actually creating a constructor for the operator, when, depending on the type of aviation work, airlines could, together with their pilots, quickly modernize the aircraft for a flight – transform it into a cargo, cargo-passenger, passenger configuration and, accordingly, serve this whole story.
“In fact, at a new level, we are entering the same good old Soviet system, when more than 4.5 thousand aircraft were operated in the USSR. This is a very serious challenge – it is no less serious than the MS-21 and Superjet programs, ”said Oleg Bocharov.

Boeing has achieved a significant milestone by providing NASA with the second core stage of the Space Launch System (SLS) rocket.
This crucial component, crafted at NASA’s Michoud Assembly Facility (MAF), is set to propel the Artemis II crew into lunar orbit, marking humanity’s return to deep space after a 50-year hiatus.
The monumental Boeing-built rocket stage, the largest element of the Artemis II mission, will embark on a journey aboard the Pegasus barge, traveling 900 miles to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center.

Upon arrival, it will be meticulously integrated with other essential Artemis II components, including the upper stage, solid rocket boosters, and NASA’s Orion spacecraft within the iconic Vehicle Assembly Building. This intricate integration process is a vital step toward the eagerly anticipated Artemis II launch, slated for 2025.
“Boeing-built products helped land humankind on the moon in 1969, and we’re proud to continue that legacy through the Artemis generation,” remarked Dave Dutcher, vice president and program manager for Boeing’s SLS program. “Together, with NASA and our industry partners and suppliers, we are building the world’s most capable rocket and paving the way to deep space through America’s rocket factory in New Orleans.”

The delivery of Core Stage 2 marks a significant achievement in the evolution of the SLS rocket. Towering over 200 feet and powered by four RS-25 engines, this core stage, coupled with two solid-fueled booster rockets, will generate a staggering 8.8 million pounds of thrust. This immense power is crucial to launching Artemis II and future missions into the vast expanse of space.
The SLS rocket stands unparalleled in its capability to transport both crew and substantial cargo to the moon and beyond in a single launch. Its extraordinary capacity will facilitate the delivery of human-rated spacecraft, habitats, and scientific missions to destinations including the moon and Mars, ushering in a new era of space exploration.
