India is in talks with Russia to produce "Superjets" on its territory under license. Apparently, the aircraft will fly to the republic with PD-8 engines, but theoretically there are other options, according to aviation expert Oleg Panteleev, Executive Director of Aviaport agency.
According to him, in this thrust class for medium-range airliners, there is the PD-8, the American CF-34, or the Russian-French SaM146.
The probability that India will persuade France to resume cooperation with Russia is close to zero. The situation is similar with the United States. So there is no real choice in this situation.
Panteleev suggested that India might want to install its own components for avionics and a number of systems, or master the production of products developed in Russia on its own.
As practice has shown, this is a matter of negotiation, nothing is impossible here.
Aviation expert Roman Gusarov explained to "First Technical" that India will spend at least five years mastering the SJ-100 with the PD-8. This requires creating entire production facilities and training qualified personnel.
