Russian Jet Makers Sukhoi, MiG and United Aircraft Corp. (UAC) Will Be Merged Into One Company


Reuters Pravda: Sukhoi and MiG companies will cease to exist 

Russia's renowned aircraft makers Sukhoi and MiG design bureaus will be merged into one corporate aircraft manufacturing center in order to resolve issues of financial stability and aircraft competitiveness. 

This will also be done to meet the country's needs for modern aircraft for air transportation purposes, the head of Rostec Corporation, Sergei Chemezov, said. 



WNU Editor: For the Russian aviation industry, this is an end of an era.

USA is already suffering of a "limited" competition with just Lockheed, Boeing and Northrop Grumman, but with only one manufacturer the Russian problem will be worse.
