Russia: renewal of the air park with national-made aircraft

Russian Vice-Premier and Defense Minister, Serguej Ivanov, in the statements of last days, affirmed the air park of Russia must be renewed with national-made aircraft.

Last Monday, Ivanov presided over the meeting of the military-industrial Commission. The experts studied the possibility to increase the production of the Russian aircraft for the Civil Aviation. "The air park of the major aeronautical companies of Russia is now obsolete -vice-Premier affirmed- however, it often prefers to renew it with foreign-made aircraft, and so there is the risk to make degrading our aeronautical industry. I can see only one solution - we must change the current situation so that our aircraft fleet is primarily renewed by domestically manufactured planes", Defense Minister remarked at the end of his speech.
