Chemezov told Putin about the work on the Tu-214 and the imported "Ansats".

      The head of Rostec, Sergey Chemezov, during a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, spoke about the work on civil aviation, including the Tu-214 aircraft and import-substituted Ansat helicopters. According to Chemezov, in 2025, two light helicopters in an import-substituted version will take to the air for the first time — the twin-engine Ansat and the single-engine Mi-34. The results of the meeting were reported by the Kremlin press service. "In 2027, we expect to start serial deliveries. We are currently completing all test certification flights," Chemezov said, referring to the import-substituted Ansat helicopter. He noted that during the modernization, the machine's engine, electronics, control system, and fuselage design were replaced. The head of Rostec reported that the updated Ansat has a Russian VK-650V engine, and the helicopter remains one of the main machines of the national air ambulance service. "The new Ansat has a higher speed and payload capacity," Putin remarked during the conversation with the head of Rostec.

      Chemezov also spoke separately about the work on the Tu-214. According to him, changes were made to the aircraft type certificate that allow the use of new Russian systems instead of foreign ones. This includes avionics and the collision warning system with other aircraft and proximity to the ground. "We need to ensure that the initially declared parameters are met," Putin said. "Yes, we are trying to get closer to that. It's just that if we start from scratch... It takes time to refine it," the head of Rostec replied.

      Additionally, he reported on the progress of testing the Il-114-300, MS-21, and Superjet. According to him, the Il-114-300 is already completing certification flights, and the first machines may be delivered to customers this year. Serial production of the MS-21 and Superjet is planned to begin next year.

      At this meeting, the president was surprised by the 20.2% increase in labor productivity in the corporation. "Really?" Putin asked. The growth occurred due to the use of robotic machines, explained the head of Rostec.

      Chemezov also informed the president about the corporation's work in other areas. According to him, Rostec's revenue in 2025 exceeded 4.5 trillion rubles. He also reported on the development of unmanned trucks by KAMAZ, electric buses, and the "Honest Sign" marking system, which now covers 51 product groups.

      Recall that earlier, the Minister of Industry and Trade of Russia, Anton Alikhanov, reported that the certification of the import-substituted Ansat helicopter is planned to be completed in 2026. According to him, the testing program is in its final stage. The import-substituted Ansat first took to the air on September 2 of last year at the Kazan Helicopter Plant. The flight was observed by Alikhanov himself and the management of the Russian Helicopters holding. In February, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin announced that the certification of the Tu-214 would be completed in Russia in December 2025. At that time, he announced the launch of the aircraft's production.
