The Significance of the Establishment of United Aviation Manufacturing Group of Russia

First, optimize the allocation of resources, form group advantages, and improve the international competitiveness of Russian aviation manufacturing industry. The establishment of aviation manufacturing group can integrate the resources of Russian aircraft manufacturing companies and develop more internationally competitive products with limited funds.

Second, seize the international civil aviation market. Russia is one of the few countries in the world that can independently develop and produce all kinds of civil airliners. However, after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the competitiveness of Russian civil airliners in the international market continued to decline, and the traditional Russian aviation market, including CIS countries, was gradually eroded by the United States and Europe. The formation of a new "Big Mac" aviation manufacturing group is precisely to make Russian aviation manufacturing industry enter the top five in the world and change the situation that western enterprises dominate the international civil aircraft market.

Third, strengthen the role of the state in economic development. This reflects Putin's strategic thinking that "the state should occupy a leading position in strategic industries such as energy".
