Well they are correct in that they are the first "modern" Russian aircraft.
I have to say given these aircraft's rather unfortunate history it has put me right off flying CityJet.
Sukhoi are only delivering 2 airframes a quarter so it's not exactly a jet they can afford to fund huge amounts of R&D for. Nor does it seem a jet that airlines want to buy. I wonder what sort of deal CityJet got?
It should be noted that RT is part of the Kremlin's propaganda machine and is not normally reliable.
