It's Been a Very Long Time

It’s Been a Very Long Time

It’s been almost 5 years since I posted on my blog, time has been ticking and life has gone by. There have been many adventures in my life since I went into my self imposed hiatus. I will soon return after figuring out all the changes that have taken place since leaving. WordPress has implemented some new tools that I need to figure out how to use.

Russia Becomes World’s Top Wheat Producer

This is a story that will keep American wheat farmers quaking in their boots. This is all according to “a record wheat crop in Russia that threatens American farmers” reported Wall Street Journal. The Australian stated that Russia has become the world’s new agricultural superpower.

A quarter century after the collapse of the USSR, Russian farmers are finally poised to beat the record for grain production that the country set during the Soviet era.

The harvest will total at least 130.7 million metric tons this year on bumper wheat and corn crops, said Vladimir Petrichenko, director general of Moscow-based consultant ProZerno. That would push production 2.6 percent above the previous all-time high in 1978, a year before the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan under leader Leonid Brezhnev.

“Weather conditions this year have been ideal,” Petrichenko said by phone. “It fell on a key period for plant development.” See more here.

Russia’s Grain Output for Last Five Years

To boost its capacity to ship grain after losing access to Baltic ports, Russia embarked on projects to build new terminals in the Black, Caspian and Azov seas and modernize grain terminals such as the Novorossiysk Grain Plant.

While more projects to boost Russia’s export capacity are being built or discussed none is set to be completed before 2020, meaning the country is more likely to add to its grain stocks than flood the global market.

Forecasts for Russia’s 2017-18 grain crop have been steadily upgraded in recent months but officials and analysts have left export estimates largely unchanged at about 45 million. See more here.

The Insanity of Telling the Truth and the Golden Lie that Atoned for it all – A Story by Mark Twain

As I understand it, what you desire is information about ‘my first lie, and how I got out of it.’ I was born in 1835; I am well along, and my memory is not as good as it was. If you had asked about my first truth it would have been easier for me and kinder of you, for I remember that fairly well. I remember it as if it were last week.

Rostec’s Latest Helicopter Models

Original Article: Sputnik – The Birthplace of a Flying Machine

13:22 26.08.2017

Russia’s Rostec Corporation is known for producing some of the country’s top military and civilian brands. Most of them, including the latest helicopter models, such as ANSAT, are now on display at the Army 2017 International Forum near Moscow.

To see how these and other flying machines are made, Sputnik correspondent traveled to Kazan’s Russian Helicopters plant.

Kazan is often being called Russia’s third capital. It’s known for its sports venues, tourist attractions, such as the local Kremlin and for hosting some of Tatarstan’s powerful industrial facilities.

The World’s Largest Helicopter Manufacturer

The republic is home to Russia’s biggest automobile corporation KAMAZ and to one of the world’s largest flying machine manufacturers — the Russian Helicopters company. 

Established in the 1940s, Kazan Helicopter plant started making Mi-1 helicopters after World War 2. The company is currently placing bets on “the holy trinity” of its current models — the acclaimed Mi-8/Mi-17, “the newcomer” ANSAT and “the heavyweight” Mi-38, which is capable of lifting 15 tons of cargo.

The Mi-1 helicopter

The plant’s assembly line has both state-of-the art computerized systems, as well as workshops where all operations are being done by hand. Difficult tasks such as putting together the chopper’s “nervous system” require extreme caution and precision, so most manipulations with electric wiring are being done by hand.

Kazan Helicopters applies a strict multi-stage quality control procedure to each flying machine it produces.

Viacheslav Lazutkin is the deputy chief technologist at the plant’s assembly workshop. He says a special giant rain chamber was built to test whether the newly produced helicopter’s fuselage can keep the water out.

Russian Helicopters sells flying machines in 83 countries and claims to have an 80 percent share of the world’s medium-heavy helicopters market.

Helicopters such as the Mi-17 have a proven track record for flying in extreme conditions, such as mountainous terrain and high altitudes. According to the plant’s marketing director Valeriy Pashko, several years ago the Pentagon decided to buy flying machines from the Russian company for its Afghanistan operations:

Kazan Helicopter Looks to Win Over Civilian Market

Even though many models built in Kazan are being used for military purposes, the manufacturer aims at winning over the civilian market. The brand-new ANSAT light utility chopper can be used to transport cargo and passengers, for surveillance, in search and rescue operations for fire-fighting and for medevac missions. Next year Russian Helicopters is planning to sell over 60 percent of the ANSATS produced to foreign clients.

Russian Helicopters is a subsidiary of the State Corporation Rostec, which was established 10 years ago. Rostec brings together 14 holding companies that make high-tech military and civilian products.
