Today's News

No News Translations Today; Plus an Announcement

Once again today there were no Russian Aviation News items for translation by cut-off time. Readers should return tomorrow, 12 March, when it is hoped your friendly translator will have something to publish.

In addition, your friendly translator will be away most of next week. The Russian Aviation News Translations, if any, will appear on Monday, 15 March. They also may reappear on Friday, 19 March, although at this time that date is doubtful. The translations definitely will reappear on Monday, 22 March and anything missed will be caught up at that time.

Your friendly translator apologizes, but he has other duties to which he must attend from time-to-time.

These news items are translated or gisted primarily from two Russian Web sources: http://www.avias.com/, which provides whole articles, but sometimes is several days or even weeks behind in publishing them for whatever reason, and< a>, which also sometimes posts in English itself.

The articles translated here include only information about new Russian aircraft, those under development or modification, foreign sales, etc. The original publication date and source name appear after each item, but not the Web-site source. All articles are copyright by the original source. To save time, some items are gisted and are not direct translations.

Any comments are in double parenthesis - ((comment here)). I am not responsible for typographical errors or errors in translation. The whole purpose of this page is to give readers the opportunity to learn about Russian aviation advances on a somewhat timely basis.

The translations are posted by 9:30 a.m. U.S. East Coast time. There are no items on weekends, Russian holidays, nor when I am away, but the feature "Today in Russian Aviation History"is automated and runs daily, 7 days a week. Information for this series comes from the two sources above, as well as:
http://www.royfc.com/http://www.rusavia.ru/calendar/date.html and/or http://www.royfc.com/http://ts.vpk.ru/www-vpk/netnews/

Please note: These news items are a free service of Roy's Resources. If you would like any other Russian text translated, please feel free to contact Roy Cochrun where translation begins at 10 U.S. cents a word for shorter translations and goes down to 5.5 U.S. cents a word for long papers, such as books, doctoral disserations, etc.. See the translation pagefor further details.
