Production

President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko announced the country's readiness to launch the production of Su-25 attack aircraft with technical support from Russia. The Belarusian president said this at a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Rostec has signed contracts for the production of 71 passenger aircraft: Tu-214, MS-21 and SSJ New. 63 airliners are planned to be delivered to Aeroflot by the end of 2025. Eight more SSJ New aircraft are going to be manufactured and delivered to Aurora Airlines by 2026.

Secretary of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Nikolay Patrushev (pictured) estimated the shortage of personnel in the Russian aviation industry at the level of 14 thousand people. He noted that the industry is still experiencing an acute shortage of engineering and technical personnel and workers, including designers and technologists.
