Tu-160 Crashed Because of Poor Economic Situation in Russian Aviation

The reason of the air crash of Tu-160 named "Mikhail Gromov" (planes of this class are given names like ships) in Russia's Saratov region is not known yet. A special commission and experts are still working on the crash site. But some of the Duma deputies already make conjectures concerning the reason of the crash. According to Deputy Nikolay Kolomeitsev, this is perfectly obvious that the catastrophe of the strategic bomber is the evidence "of extremely complicated economic situation in the sphere."

Deputies think metallurgy is more attractive than aviation industry?


Russia dont have enought money for it's aircraft maintenance ?

I think the same can be said for the Space Shuttle. Let any maintenance program slip and in you're in for trouble.

No, the space shuttle is not in the same abandon state than the russia fleet. The accident of the SS is due to an excess of confidence by the NASA enginers.

The TU-160 seems to crashed because of a need of money.
