The US cannot produce these technologies without cooperation with other countries

We are the only country in the world that can — and we are almost there — independently make both the plane and the engine. We did it before and we will do it now.
Alexander Inozemtsev, Director and General Designer of JSC "ODK-Aviadvigatel"
