Earlier in the month, the head of Russian state-owned defense corporation Rostec, Sergey Chemezov, said his company was completing certification of an import-substituted version of the domestic SSJ New aircraft.
Works on the production of prototypes of the import-substituted SSJ New with the PD-8 engine were also postponed as the production time was rescheduled for 2022-2024, according to the document.
SSJ New is the new version of Russian passenger plane Sukhoi Superjet-100 with more domestically-made components. It is part of Russia's campaign to decrease dependence on imports initiated following the two large waves of economic sanctions in 2014 and 2022.
Ladoga is a turboprop regional passenger aircraft with 40–50 seats, designed to replace the fleet of outdated airliners of state aviation and regional airlines.
