Do you expect them to fly Cessnas now?

Clue me in which large manufacturer of passenger plans you have on your mind. There is practically nobody left any more. Boeing, Airbus and Embraer are controlling the market and all of those are directly or indirectly sanctioning Russia right now. Bombardier at this point is practically Airbus. In Russia there is one locally manufactured plane that has some traction from Sukhoi, but it also won't be able to be serviced or produced any more as key components are now sanctioned.

So whom do you have in mind now? Comac?

> key components are now sanctioned

Since you are so specific, can you at least hint what exactly are these key components that are now being sanctioned? Not engines.

And sure, why not Comac, too, but that's a different story. Doesn't quite look like Cessna, does it?

The locally produced engines you mentioned elsewhere are barely past testing phase with single deployments in 2020/2021. The plans for this year were to produce 10 planes and that was assuming fully functioning economy and government grants. I'd be honestly impressed if they actually pulled off those 10.
