The Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation stated that the aircraft should be put into operation on schedule

All the necessary funds have been allocated for the production of the LMS-901 Baikal aircraft, and the project must be launched on schedule. This was stated by the head of the Ministry of Finance, Anton Siluanov, during a speech at a meeting in the State Duma.

As for Baikal, the necessary resources for production and development support are being allocated. As far as I know, the aircraft should be put into operation on schedule. We are not saving money here.
Anton Siluanov, Head of the Ministry of Finance

Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Yuri Trutnev stated that the situation with the Baikal aircraft project is at a dead end, and production is not expected. According to him, the developers made a mistake in calculating the wing lift and runway length, and the aircraft will require a runway twice as long as originally anticipated.

At the same time, the Ministry of Industry and Trade stated that the effectiveness of the improvements to the light aircraft Baikal has been confirmed, so the research and development work on it will continue.

Earlier www1.ru reported that Russia in aviation will be able to do with its own developments. We didn't copy, we made it better.
