In Russia, up to ten Tu-214 passenger planes can be assembled per year. The aircraft assembled at the Kazan Aviation Plant named after S. P. Gorbunov can replace the departed western fleet, Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Yuri Borisov is sure.

According to TASS, passenger Tu-214s can get Red Wings, Aeroflot and others.
By the way, the Tu-214 uses a minimum amount of foreign parts. The plant plans to fix this in a year, and Borisov added that “there is no special dependence.”
