Meanwhile, Putin arrived at an aircraft plant in Irkutsk and is delighted with the long-suffering “Russian-made” MS-21 airliner.
They showed him the supposed production of the first 18 aircraft, but it is just dust in the eyes of the dictator.
The MS-21 is more than 10 years behind schedule. Development costs have ballooned from 150 billion to over 1 trillion rubles, and the unit cost has roughly tripled.
Due to sanctions, the plane gained 5–6 tons in weight, lost half its range, was shortened, and now carries almost 30% fewer passengers.
By mid-2026, only a third of the required test flights with Russian components had been completed.

Russians will allow their czar to do absolutely anything to them as long as they’re confident that he’ll continue to provide the foreign atrocities they demand.
Russians will soon be living in shit and eating shit for dinner while the dictator liquidates the last of the Central Bank reserves building missiles to pour into apartnent buildings full of sleeping families in Ukraine.
A true society of absolute barbarian trash.

He won’t say these things are happening with US intelligence support because he’s meeting with Lavrov and saying things like, “We remain available to consult both sides to end the war.” But it’s happening with US intelligence support. It’s a humblebrag.Kate from Kharkiv (@BohuslavskaKate)Rubio: Russia is now suffering strikes deep in its territory. That’s something you didn’t see. It’s the only conflict where killed-in-action rate is higher than casualty rate. Russians are losing upwards of 5,000 to 6,000 soldiers a week. That’s extraordinary, staggering number.
