Strategic analysis of 3 options for the supply of military equipment with comments from the TSC.

Until the Baikal aircraft passes testing, Russia has 2 options for ensuring the country's transport connectivity, the operation and development of a network of regional and local air transportation on aircraft of this size:

Option 1. An investment project with restoration with confirmed easy-to-start capacities of 100 An-2 in 2 years only at the Motor JSC plant using the already tested ASH-62IR engine to maintain the airworthiness of the fleet and several hundred more at 3 other plants if they are modernized and the corresponding investment projects are implemented.

Option 2. Testing, certification, restoration and production of 100 An-2 or more per year with a TVD-10B engine, such an aircraft must first pass testing in order to draw conclusions.

Option 3. Wait for Baikal, but testing is also necessary and see below what else needs to be taken into account.

What are the prospects?

Option 1. It is possible to implement it as early as 2025.

Option 2. We are waiting for preliminary tests in 2025.

Option 3. We are waiting for certification tests and first deliveries possibly from 2026.

All 3 options are feasible, but:

Baikal will occupy a niche in other mild climate conditions in the future, it is not a replacement for the An-2 in all segments.

While Baikal is undergoing tests, it is advisable to implement both first options 1 and 2 to ensure the country's connectivity.

Only option 1 currently has a passenger version, does not require testing, and only option 1 has been tested for the Arctic, Siberia and the Far East.

More details in the ITAR-TASS article with an explanation from the head of the TSC Anton Koren and other experts.

Effective development of a region's transport system requires a balanced strategy that in the short term, in 10, 20 and more years will provide the region with infrastructure, outrunning demand in terms of all modes of transport.
Many large world regions, leaders in transport product volume and transshipment, handling transit and transfer passengers, started out by creating a development strategy for multimodal transport hubs (MTH) based at promising ports, stations, and airports.
Many regions are geographically remote and located away from large transport hubs. They are characterized by poor land transport infrastructure and have many unique characteristics that implicate a peculiar approach to transport planning.
The TSC's areas of expertise include professional strategic planning in IT, development of innovative IT solutions for transport, tourism, transport engineering.
One of the core activities of TSC is the design and turn-key implementation of territory development projects for areas adjacent to transport infrastructure facilities.
The Transport Strategy Center Consortium (TSC) provides expert consulting assistance to regional authorities and transport organizations in developing comprehensive strategies for the development of transport infrastructure projects and attracting public and private funding for their implementation.
