It would seem that a profitable deal, but in the United Aircraft Building Corporation (UAC) they perfectly understand that in a similar situation, the Russian side simply will not receive Shisha.
If Russia once knew how to sell planes, then with the advent of Yuri Slyusar, she finally forgot how to produce and sell. What clearly demonstrates an example of SSJ100 sales, where foreign buyers refuse even previously prisoners of transactions, trying to return even already purchased planes. And even Russian buyers take the plane as if in a load.
The appointment of Slyusar with the head of the UAC in 2015 marked the beginning of a difficult sanctions period for the country, and it was probably assumed that during the crisis, he should at least not allow domestic aircraft industry. Everything turned out exactly the opposite – the industry has fallen, so hopelessly that many doubt whether Russia will be able to maintain civil aircraft industry in general.
Since 2015, sales of both civilian and military aircraft have been falling. 2014 was the last year when the UAC brought dividends to the state, since then the company’s losses have only been growing, having reached 60 billion rubles in 2019. Then it was announced that her debts had reached more than a half -trillion of rubles, which required great efforts not even to save the corporation, but to save civilian aircraft industry in the country.
Slyusar’s inability to agree with the Chinese deprives Russia of the latest hopes to earn at least something from the sales of passenger aircraft. Meanwhile, experts note that the crisis can also cover the Russian military aircraft construction, which, in the trail of civilian under the leadership of Slyusar, threatens the destruction of design schools and ruin production.

Yuri Slyusar will give up Russian technologies and the Chinese market for empty promises?
As part of the recent St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, the Russian side was again forced to make excuses.
