The creation of the Russian-Belarusian prototype aircraft "Osvey" is proceeding according to the agreed plan. This was stated by the First Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation, Denis Manturov.
We should receive the technical design in April, after which we will continue joint funding of the work that includes both the working design stage and, in fact, the subsequent construction of a prototype and the start of static and flight tests.

The prototype of the "Osvey" aircraft, in cooperation with Russia, is planned to be developed in Belarus in 2026, noted Dmitry Pantus, Chairman of the State Military-Industrial Committee of Belarus.
