Video Description

In an alternative reality, with a massive production backlog and Boeing in crisis, now could have been a great time for Russia's domestic airliners to capture some of Airbus and Boeing's short-haul markets. But this is not another reality, and for over two years, Russia's domestic airliner production has been at a complete standstill.
