There are plenty of alternative media outlets that concur with the report of RT.
And with over 100 aircraft built in 5 1/2 years, a new Superjet rolls out every 3 weeks or so.
It's rather more alarming that of the 104 built aircrafts only 71 seem to be in active service. I'm curious why the other aircrafts don't fly as well. If they are grounded for technical reasons, that wouldn't bode well with the Superjet program.
As for Cityjet: They are now somewhat stuck with the Superjet until the aircraft gets the approval to fly in and out of LCY.
