PUTIN INSPECTS YAK-130 and MC-21, Backs Domestic Aviation Push at Irkutsk Aircraft Plant

Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the Irkutsk Aviation Plant in Siberia on Friday, where he inspected production of the MC-21 passenger jet and the Yak-130 trainer aircraft. The MC-21, developed as Russia's domestic competitor to Airbus and Boeing narrow-body aircraft, has faced repeated delays after Western sanctions forced the replacement of imported engines, avionics and other components with Russian-made alternatives. During the visit, Putin toured production facilities, examined aircraft under construction and met with plant officials as Moscow continues efforts to strengthen its aviation industry.
