Dec 17, 2015 at 18:07 comment added Pavel There are two kinds of reputation, to make matters worse. Even if Sukhoi establishes a good operational record for, say, ten years, as an operator you'd still not enjoy being marked as 'flying Russian aircraft' in the news or Internet discussions.
Dec 17, 2015 at 17:53 comment added reirab Reliability reputation aside, you really can't ignore the political reasons. To put it mildly, Russia has strained its relationships with many of the other countries that buy a lot of airplanes lately. When you're buying an aircraft that you'll likely be operating for a decade or two, the risk of your parts supply chain suddenly being embargoed if the situation escalates further is not a good one. Along those same lines, Boeing, Airbus, and Embraer are probably less likely to stop existing over the next couple of decades than most of the Russian manufacturers.
