Russia and Turkey have discussed the delivery of SSJ 100 aircrafts, the head of Russian Energy Ministry Alexander Novak said in an interview with the Rossiya-24 TV channel.

“As for the industrial sector, we discussed deliveries of helicopters and the establishment of a joint venture for the production of helicopters. Future plans include joint production and supplies of SSJ 100 and MC-21 planes," TASS reported quoting him.

The SSJ 100, a Russian short-haul single-aisle passenger plane developed by Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Co, has been in commercial use since 2011.
