Russia may consider restoring preserved foreign aircraft

Russian Aviaton » Wednesday January 21, 2026 18:24 MSK

An option of restoring preserved foreign airplanes may be considered, Russian Transport Minister Andrey Nikitin told reporters.

"Our companies made a very serious technological breakthrough from the standpoint of creating the foreign aircraft service and maintenance system. If they are able to do something, certainly, adhering to safety requirements, we will consider such options as well," the minister said.

The ministry expects investors will be found for the Domodedovo Airport of Moscow, Nikitin said.

"The position of the Transport Ministry was to hold the auction as transparently as possible. The state offers and potential buyers may agree or not agree," the minister noted.

The first auction for the Domodedovo Airport ended without determining the winning bidder.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
