“Regarding Sukhoi 100 Superjets, we want to produce the components of the aircraft in Iran. This will be carried out through cooperation with Iranian partners,” Denis Manturov was quoted as saying by the Tasnim News Agency.
Russia has been trying to get Iran interested in buying the Superjet with Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin saying last month that the airliner could be delivered to Iran by 2020.
