“They are trying to interfere with us, I have already spoken about this. Here we are creating the MS-21 medium-range aircraft, but at almost every step they put a spoke in the wheels, using the same sanctions. But it’s okay, we are gradually, gradually, even if we have to shift something to the right according to the production schedule, we are still doing it and will continue to do it.

And we will do it successfully. This is an industry that is not only high-tech in itself, it immediately creates high-tech jobs in a dozen related industries,” Putin noted.

Let us recall that last year the new Il-114-300 passenger turboprop aircraft and the MS-21-310 medium-haul airliner with new Russian-made PD-14 engines were successfully tested.
