Assembly of the first MS-21 prototype should be completed in 2015, the head of Regional Marketing Department of Irkut Corporation, Viktor Lichaev, told RIA Novosti at LAAD-2015 exhibition held in Rio de Janeiro.

“We are going to complete assembly of the first MS-21 prototype in 2015, however, we are cooperating with other enterprises so delays are possible and the process may be completed in 2016,” Lichaev said.

He noted that certification of the aircraft should be completed in 2017 and its mass production should be started in 2018. “By 2020 we are going to reach the planned output of 40 aircraft per year,” he said.

According to Lichaev, MS-21 jets delivered to Russian companies will be powered by PD-14 engines, while the jets delivered to foreign customers will be fitted with PW-1400 engines.

  Light combat Yak-130M
  The presentation of the Ya-130M aircraft took place at the international military-technical forum "Army-2024", which was held from August 12 to 14, 2024 at the Patriot Convention and Exhibition Center. It should be noted right away that this is not just the modernization of the Yak-130 aircraft, but the transformation of a combat training aircraft into a full-fledged light combat aircraft. In the information field, this event was marked by a number of brief reports from federal news agencies. But the project, like the Yak-130 aircraft with its unique flight characteristics, deserves a more detailed review, which we decided to do.
