Russia to build only 5 Tu-214 by 2027, far below wartime promise

The Kazan Aviation Plant is expected to produce only five Tu-214 aircraft by end-2027, versus 20 promised by Tatarstan authorities after the war began. This implies a total of about ten aircraft since the war's start, against an initial target of 55. The shortfall highlights Russia's struggle to replace Boeing and Airbus deliveries amid sanctions, with implications for its aviation industry and domestic connectivity.
