The Russian Defense Ministry expects to receive five Antonov An-148 passenger jets in 2016 without production delays, Deputy Defense Minister Yuri Borisov said Tuesday.

VORONEZH (Sputnik) — The ministry signed a contract on the delivery of 15 An-148s with Russia’s Voronezh Aircraft Plant (VASO). Some 70 percent of the plane’s components are made in Russia, while remaining 30 percent are manufactured in Ukraine.

“We should receive five An-148s in 2016. Three are already standing here, while two more are entering the assembly stage,” Borisov said during his visit to the VASO plant.

Borisov stressed that despite a certain dependence on Ukrainian suppliers “no delays in deliveries of components or production schedule have been registered so far.”
