The same way how the twin engine A350 flying
Thanks to composite materials, the new planes have less weight and can carry more useful payload.

ofc, it's a new design.

well i like how you defended that, but it does not work like that. look at the c17 its payload is about 80 tonne and its powered by 4xcf6 engines and those are big. you need 2 engines the size of ge90-115b's to get a 80 tonne transporter in the air.
also the ps-90 is the largest engine you guys make right?

Il-76MD-90A raises 60 tons of weight.
At 4 engines
AN-124 picks up 120 tons of weight at 4 dvigetelyah.
you will continue to think that only depends on the number of engines carrying capacity?

On the new planes will stand PD-18R engine. This new engine

well the theroy of howmany engines are needed to lift 8 tonnes is mainly 4. a varient of the an-70 was proposed with 2 engines for the usa tanker program thats could carry about 40 tonnes. the pd-14r has a 20 tonnes of thrust meaning it would take 4 engines to carry 80 tonnes, obivously minus the weight of the airframe

PD-18 is more than 20 tonnes of thrust. To do this, the turbocharger will be resized. Currently, PD-14 has the ability to develop 18-20 tons without significant design changes.
At the moment, there are engine capable to develop 25-30 tons of take-off thrust. PW4000-112 say can reach 49 tons.
On the basis of the NK-32 engine will be created for superheavy transporter.
It is known from open sources.
2 PD-18 to replace the IL-76
4 HK-32 to replace the An-124
6 HK-32 to replace the An-224
In any case, it plans for the distant future developments. About 20 years.
Things can change, as the video is only a rough plan.

They are kinda old design already. More that 20 yo.

There is currently new engine under design - PD-30 with 30-32 tonnes trust. The two PD-30 engines is enough to lift 80 tonnes of payload + weight of aircraft.

Two general-purpose submarines, 96 airplanes, 81 helicopters and 21 ballistic missiles were among more than 4,000 items of new military equipment received by the Russian armed forces in 2015.
The figures were released as Russia's President and Commander-in-Chief Vladimir Putin visited the National Defense Control Center Friday, overseeing the official commissioning of military goods. He said the list also included more than 400 units of artillery and combat vehicle arsenal.

The new equipment is already in use, the president said, adding that fighting terrorists in Syria has become a "serious test" for the modern warfare technology, especially for the aircraft.

New arms have been provided not only for the international anti-terror operation, but for the country's defense too. Russia's Strategic Missile Forces have received 21 ballistic missiles in 2015, and nearly 400 parts and units for fixed and mobile missile systems, Deputy Defense Minister Yury Borisov informed Putin.

Earlier, the country's Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu said that last year Russia's strategic nuclear forces received 35 intercontinental ballistic missiles, according to TASS. The strategic forces are to be equipped with 20 new such missiles this year.

The defense ministry has also put together a plan for major construction work for 2016, Putin was told. Military developments in western and south-western directions, as well as in the Arctic, have been defined among the priorities, said Ruslan Tsalikov, first deputy to the defense minister.
