Russia and China may team up to mass produce
wide-body aircraft jointly developed by the two countries by 2025, according to
Aleksandr Tulyakov, executive vice president of Russia's JSC United Aircraft
Corporation.
The development of the aircraft can help Russia get around
the economic sanctions of the West and can be remodeled into military aircraft,
reports the website of China's nationalistic tabloid Global Times, citing a
report from Russian state broadcaster the Voice of Russia.
The company
has signed an agreement with Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China in May
this year to produce the aircraft. Russia was forced to act after sanctions
launched against it by the West in the wake of the Ukraine crisis, Global Times
said.
