Compared to other airliners those production number are small.

Russia only needs to supply herself, not other markerts. Which manufacturers do you compare with?

Russia officially built only one SSJ in 2024 – RA-89192. But in fact it was originally built in 2022 and it is probably the last SSJ-100 ever produced.

>last SSJ-100 ever produced

Yes, of course. The version of SSJ-100 with Russian-made engines and other systems is called SJ-100.

There is no such thing as an SSJ-100 with Russian-made engines, period. Airlines cannot buy them, and you cannot fly them. Even the MC-21 is slightly more realistic, but it is also not available to any airline.

We have been hearing this never-ending story of "aircraft will be available in 2 years" for a very long time. :)

SJ-100 with PD-8 already flew in 2023[0], after a year of fixing engine problems, it is about to fly again.
