The main focus of the Russian aircraft industry was the ongoing ‘special military operation’ but “we are committed to fulfilling the requirements of our partners”, said CEO of United Aircraft Corporation of Russia Yury Slusar on Tuesday while also stating that they were the only partner which could offer over 60% transfer of technology to meet India’s fighter requirements.
“We are facing two challenges. One with civil and another with military. With civil our main task is to substitute foreign aircraft with indigenous ones… With military the main focus is the special military operation that is under way,” Mr. Slusar said in an interaction with visiting journalists at the ongoing Army-2022 exhibition. “At the same time, we remain a reliable partner. All our contracts are in place, and we are maintaining good relations with our partners.”
