Russia is fully meeting the needs of the army in combat aviation and supplying equipment for export, President Vladimir Putin said.
According to him, against the background of growing demand, the enterprises of the aviation complex are not overloaded.
We not only fully meet the needs of the armed forces of the Russian Federation today, but also supply the necessary equipment for export. It is in great demand.
There is direct confirmation of the words of the head of state. For example, the issue of Algeria's purchase of front-line Su-34 supersonic fighter-bombers is being resolved. The production of aircraft under the export order has already begun.
General Director of the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC, part of Rostec) Vadim Badekha noted that Russian combat aviation has proven the title of the best in the world. Foreign customers see its effectiveness and are "lining up to buy".
