Tupolev Tu-330
Type: Twin-turbofan freight transport.
Program: Announced Spring 1993 as replacement for Antonov An-12. First ten scheduled to be built at Kazan. First flight was scheduled for 1997 with service to begin in 1998.
Design features: Wing design basically similar to Tu-204; engine pylons as Tu-204; rear loading ramp.
Flying controls: Each wing has four-section leading edge flaps, three-section trailing edge flaps, eight spoilers forward of flaps, and aileron. Elevators and rudder each in two sections.
Landing gear: Retractable tricycle type; twin-wheel nose unit; each main unit three pairs of wheels in tandem.

In its early stages the Tu-330 was also referred to as the Tu-204-330 due to it's '75% structure commonality' with the Tupolev Tu-204.
Not to be confused with the Tu-204-300 (Tu-234), the shortened and longer-range derivative of the Tu-204.

The attached press release from Tupolev, dating from 1996, outlines the companies idea for the future use of cryogenic fuels and the justification for the firms commitment to development.
As well as briefly covering the Tu-155/Tu-156 program it also touches on the use of Tu-204 (Tu-204K -> Tu-206 -> 206K), Tu-230, Tu-330 and Tu-334 in LNG projects.
The document also covers the proposed distribution of such fuels to remote parts of Russia via Tu-330 tanker and Aerosleighs (remember the Tupolev AC-2?)

Interesting mid-winged 6 engined propeller model in the 5th and the 8th picture down.
What is it?
A 6 engined Tu-80 or Tu-85 derivitive?

ПРЕРВАННЫЙ ПОЛЕТ Ту-330
После распада СССР в российской авиационной промышленности произошло не так много знаковых событий. Стоит отметить создание учебно-боевого самолета (УБС) Як-130, двухместного вертолета Ка-52 (на базе Ка-50), работы по дальнейшему развитию линейки самолетов Су-27: самолеты Су-30, Су-34, Су-35, Т-50…

Looks like it might be built...or at least an aircraft based on the Tu-330
(russian link)
Tupolev will create a transport aircraft to replace the An-12

Whatever the final form the Tu-330 takes I just hope that it gets built. The An-12 needs to be replaced.

Reading that link above from Tass in 2019, does anyone know what the actual status is of this project?
Is it dead and buried?
I know Illyushin have their Ill-276, but this appears to be a lighter aircraft, with a payload around the 20 ton range.
The Tu-330 seems to be in the 30 ton range, with a maximum take off weight 30% heavier than than the Illyushin.
Are these two aircraft both aimed at the same medium aircraft requirement - to replace the An-12?
There were reports in 2020 that the Russian authorities selected the Illyushin design.
I'm asking because the Tu-204/214 has benefitted from new production orders in the last couple of months, so was wondering if this has changed the dynamic related to this programme.
I'm also aware that what I read in translated articles here in the west is often distorted by whomever is publishing the article, either by mistranslation or omission by design.
Flat Eric, do you perhaps know anything about this?

Thanks.
It's hard to get solid information.
I assumed the Ill-276 was selected, based on "reports" and India's initial (now cancelled) interest in that platform.
It will be interesting to see what happens.
