MOSCOW, January 31 Localization of production in the field of aircraft engine building today is 90%, said the current presidential candidate Head of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin.
“»We have already done a lot. For example, in the field of aviation engine building. Our speaker, our colleague, whom I have known for many years, he knows very well that in the field of aviation engine building 90 percent — this is already a completely localized product,” Putin said during a meeting with trusted officials.
According to him, the engine produced for 14 Russian-made MC-21 aircraft had not been produced for 30 years, but now they have created a “modern, powerful, efficient, reliable» basis — better than certain examples on the world market.
«»In the field of transport and mechanical engineering — 80 percent, this has already been localized. I don’t remember exactly, but there are colleagues here who know well in the field of motor transport — in my opinion, 65-70 percent of localization. 70 percent? Well, 70 percent. But one KAMAZ is worth it. We congratulate you on your success,” Putin noted.
