Sanctions have revived once near-dead airframers (IL, TU & YAK) and created new ones like COMAC. Anyhow you see it, democracy is coming to the skies. Best wishes to Tu, IL and YAK!

The fact that despite their poor sales, Russia produced 2 similar planes in single digit numbers is one of the crazy things happening in Russia. If they had consolidated the funds to one plane then they might be able to improve it more and make it a 2 person cockpit plane.

Tu-204/214 are fine airliners, but the MC-21 is vastly superior. Depending how quickly Yakolev can produce them, I see the MC-21 filling this niche in the future.

204 IS discontinued. Only 214 remains in production.
