Russia is the first in the world to build an aircraft alone: claims to the MC-21 are excessive

However, sanctions add complexity to the production of the aircraft

The director of the scientific center of the State Research Institute of Civil Aviation (GosNII GA), Alexander Fridlyand, admitted that he could not give an exact forecast for the start of serial production of the MC-21 aircraft.

Serial production begins after the completion of testing. Therefore, it will be possible to predict only when we know about the completion of certification.

The aviator noted that sanctions against Russia add to the complexity of the MC-21, because it has to produce all the components on its own.

No country in the world makes aircraft alone. No one does it themselves, everyone does it in cooperation, but we don't have it. This is a matter of sanctions.
