In August 2025, US aerospace giant Boeing delivered 57 commercial aircraft—more than four times the total output of Russia’s aviation industry since the start of its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, according to The Moscow Times on September 9.
From January to August alone, Boeing handed over 385 planes to clients, already surpassing the 348 delivered in all of 2024. The company’s market capitalization has grown by 29.3% since the beginning of the year.
Russia’s aviation sector, by contrast, continues to collapse. Of the 15 passenger aircraft planned for production in 2025, only one has been delivered. Between 2022 and 2025, Russian manufacturers produced just 13 aircraft in total: 12 Sukhoi Superjets and a single Tu-214.

The condition of Russia’s commercial fleet has sharply deteriorated under US and EU sanctions. According to The Moscow Times, Novaya Gazeta Europe, 208 aviation incidents were recorded in 2024—25% more than in 2023—with nearly half caused by engine failures or landing gear malfunctions.
Industry insiders told Radio Svoboda that Russian civil aviation is nearing a “critical point,” The Moscow Times reported. Routine safety inspections such as C-checks (every 1.5–2 years) and D-checks (every 6–12 years) are no longer possible without cooperation from Western manufacturers.
One aviation safety expert warned that 2025 could be “the last year of flights for most” of Russia’s civilian aircraft, including the Superjet, which depends on Western-made engines, avionics, electrical systems, landing gear, and fuel systems.
Earlier, Ukrainian border guards reported destroying a second Russian BM-27 Uragan multiple launch rocket system in the Pokrovsk sector in under a week.
