UAC chief highlights reliability of Russian passenger aircraft

Russian Aviaton » Wednesday June 3, 2026 13:33 MSK

Russian-made aircraft meet modern standards, undergo certification, and are tested to the strictest requirements, United Aircraft Corporation (UAC, part of Rostec) CEO Vadim Badekha said in an interview with TASS ahead of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).

"We meet all modern requirements, undergo certification, and test aircraft under the strictest standards," he said.

According to him, Russian aircraft traditionally have a high safety margin and are no less reliable than foreign counterparts. As an example, he cited operation of the Superjet aircraft, whose reliability indicators at times surpass those of Boeing or Airbus aircraft.

  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.
