Russian Air Force News & Discussion

think there is 0 chance of Russia breaking into the global airliner market in any significant capacity. Russia failed to do so with the SSJ under much better circumstances. At best the Russian airliner industry will survive, serving domestic demand, and some government/military needs, with exports to a handful of client states.

Yes I completely agree that chances for Russia doing alone to have meaningfull breakthrough on Global Market is close to zero. I also agree that if they can fullfill Russia own domestic and some small export to Global South is also the best situation for them can get.

The context that I talk more on Russia and China work together. China already facing supply chain problem especially from US. Euro and US will not going to let China become significant competitors if still relied to Western Supply Chain. They will not going to let Chinese EV and PHEV storm happening in Civilian Aerospace industry. China need to build their own supply chain like in other Industry. Working with Russia can help to reduce dependence to western supply chain.

Question will both of them want to reduce ego pride and agree on work share. Western push against both of them can push them to corner and see the options to work together is the only way to survive.

Russia could certainly serve as a parts producer for China. They used to produce parts for western aircraft. But I would be very surprised if it was Russian engines on Chinese jets.
