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.
