【Key Focus: Russia is Preparing to Supply Components for China's Wide-Body Aircraft】
On September 5, 2025, Moscow time, Russia's First Deputy Prime Minister Denis Manturov told reporters:
Russia is prepared to supply components for China's wide-body aircraft. We are ready to carry out such deliveries. First of all, we are talking about the capabilities we have already developed, including within the framework of the MS-21 project. This is a composite wing, including a heavy engine based on the PD-26 gas generator with a thrust of 35 tons.
Denis Manturov added:
This engine forms the basis of the Il-100 (military transport aircraft) and may also be used in future versions of the MS-21-500 and 600 aircraft. The supply options exist, but the decision will be made by Chinese partners.
