Aeroflot plans to order more than 300 Russian built aircraft. Due to the
Western sanctions, the Russian airline can no longer order Boeings and
Airbuses, and it is also no longer able to obtain spare parts. New aircraft of
their own make may offer a solution.
 
However, all western operators of the SSJ100 Superjet have sent their aircraft
back because they are too expensive to maintain and operate.
 
Also the announcement seems like propaganda because cockpit technology and
avionics in the SSJ100, the TU214 and the MC-21 are also on the West's
sanctions list. The EASA also has no intention to certify the MC-21m neither
the larger version nor its smaller brother.
