Moscow-Sana
Russian President Vladimir Putin affirmed that Russia is moving forward in the field of aircraft manufacturing, although the West is trying to put obstacles by imposing sanctions that restrict trade exchange and prevent the export of materials used in aircraft manufacture to it.
Putin said in a televised interview that the West resorted to using sanctions to put obstacles in the way of making the 21st century aircraft (MS-21), stressing that Russia "is making it and will continue to manufacture it successfully despite all the obstacles."
It was decided that the MS-21 aircraft would use the engines manufactured by the American company Pratt and Whitney, but the US government banned the supply of these engines to Russian planes, which prompted Russia to manufacture the engine of its new civilian aircraft locally, as last December witnessed the launch of the MS-21 aircraft equipped with two engines.
