Rosaviatsia has certified a modified Tupolev Tu-214 outfitted with domestically produced avionics and systems, enabling United Aircraft to begin serial production. UAC aims to ramp output to as many as 20 Tu-214s per year by the end of 2027, with deliveries slated for carriers such as Aeroflot.

Briefing
Certification unlocks serial production and a planned ramp to up to 20 Tu-214s/year by end-2027, a concrete production target tied to replacing Boeing 757 capacity and supplying carriers such as Aeroflot.
The move replaces Western-sourced avionics with domestic systems, a direct response to sanctions and parts shortages highlighted as carriers have been cannibalising Boeing freighters for spares.
It strengthens momentum behind domestically produced types and fleet-localisation, mirroring recent operator commitments like Ural Airlines signing to lease MC-21s; expect implications for fleet planning, MRO strategy and OEM competitive positioning in Russia.
