Russia, whose planes now fly to a very limited number of countries, is worried about queues. Surprisingly, the Russians very much wanted to return to the USSR, where the ranks were one of the main attributes.

Russia without borders

• On May 5, the Airport Civil Aviation Association, which includes more than 100 organizations, applied to the Russian Ministry of Transport with a request. It is allowed to use foreign equipment with an expired service life for the inspection of passengers and baggage.
• The fact is that the service life of foreign technical inspection tools is limited by manufacturers to 10 years, after which the operation is illegal.
• The document states that at many Russian airports these deadlines expire in the near future, and 90 percent of them are equipped with foreign equipment that cannot be replaced by sanctions.

Due to the lack of the required amount of domestically produced TSD, 90 percent of Russian airports are equipped with equipment from the United States, England, Germany and Finland, and due to sanctions it is not possible to replace it with a new one,
– Writes “Kommersant”.

• If airports follow the rules and stop using the frame to check people and luggage, so be it. Long queues await passengers as airports will have to switch to manual visual inspection.

Airports the source spoke with say there are no serious issues yet and hope to procure introscopes and metal detectors from China and Belarus in the future. However, according to the association, import substitution and re-equipment with new equipment will take at least five years, and the only way out is to return to the practice of “expanding resources”, which was carried out by the order of Rostransnadzor until 2016. .

At the same time, the addressees of the propaganda broadcast note that even in the case of legalization of the use of funds, the term of which has expired under the contract, no one cancels the banal malfunctions. In the event that inspection devices fail, there will be nothing to repair them. Therefore, they will gradually disappear from airports.
