Well, the Ministry of Defense is again stirring up something, according to the "credit scheme under guarantees ...". You run out of money, what? You need to grab such cars, otherwise they will go for export and put in line.

Such machines need to be grabbed
___________
I agree if the price is adequate !! not more expensive than in the west
in general, the contract was planned to be signed at MAKS-2011, BUT they did not agree on the price
Now I think everything is on fire and the Irkutsk plant can safely produce them
- 16 cars for Algeria are being built now
-the first 20 units are almost ready for our air force

If before the price was 462 million rubles somewhere, now 444 million rubles Serdyukov threw 18 million rubles. Every 26 Yak is free.

The Ministry of Defense wants to train new generations of pilots on 65 planes??? Only 65??? What kind of flight training will the cadets have? Like in the movie "Only Old Men Are Going to Battle"? Takeoff and landing? Or will they only train 65-130 pilots a year?
