According to the official representative of Sukhoi Civil Aircraft Olga Kayukova this must have been the reason why the Italian media caused a misunderstanding when it claimed that Italy is going to assemble the aircraft.

As of today the contract between the two companies stipulates just fitting the aircraft and preparing it for sale. According to the unofficial sources in Russian the Italians would really like to assemble this perspective aircraft. It might become the topic for the respective negotiations.
