I would rate il-476 and il-96 better any day. But yes, Russia is weak on the after sales services though. And I would not be surprised if China decides to give very big order for il-476 or su-35,though there would be demand of full TOT .

Tu-334 propfan -1.3 tons/per hour SSJ 100 -1.7 tons/per hour Il-196 es 5 to 6.1 tons/per hour Airbus bribed the Aviation ministers and UAC officials to shelve the Tu-334 propfan project as it would interfere in the Airbus A318-A320 segment. But then SSJ 100 has one major advantage thanks...

BBC,Daily mail ,yahoo. All oiligarch controlled with an axe to grind. But then our resident 'phd' of cut,copy,paste don't understand.

Russia is known to deny to the last moment. And all of a sudden they hit and very hard. Same thing in Syria. Either Russia is waiting for Modi in Moscow. If nothing materializes and the diversification continues then there is possibility that negotiations might resume with Pakistan.
