Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has approved a plan to implement a state program to develop the aviation industry in 2013-15, the government said in a statement Tuesday.
The plan is part of a broader state program to develop the industry until 2025 that was endorsed by the government in December 2012. The program aims to make the sector highly competitive and help it regain its positions on the international market.
A total of 78 billion rubles ($2.4 billion) will be allocated to the program from the budget in 2013; 107 billion rubles ($3.3 billion) will be contributed in 2014; and 123 billion rubles ($3.8 billion) in 2015.
As a result, by 2025, the share of Russian aviation production manufacturers on the world market in monetary terms will reach 3.6 percent and 11.9 percent in the civil and military segments respectively.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
