The CP-10/SR-10 appears to be toast

The weird and cute - what else could you call it? - little forward swept wing trainer being developed in Russia appears to have run out time. The flight tests have been suspended due to a lack of money. This is interesting because the company and the Russian MoD both stated they were buying them as a trainer for the Russian Aerospace Forces. That either means the announcement was bogus (something we see a lot of in Russian aerospace, alas) or the Russian MoD changed its mind.

The exact reason doesn't matter too much. Either way, the SR-10 is pretty much toast.

Forward swept wing planes just can't get a break...

If there's no budget left for it. It appears the sanctions are working .

They also can't afford their T-14 tank and the Su-57 is years behind schedule, possibly due to money. The PAK-DA also hasn't been built because Tupolev doesn't have the resources to hire enough people to handle the PAk-DA and the Tu-160 upgrade.

The sanctions are biting hard. The price of oil helps.

Test pilot of MAT, Viktor Korolev has told the Mil.Press that the Russian government has not appropriated funds for start mass production of new SR-10 light jet trainer aircraft for the Russian Airspace Force.

The source in the company also confirmed to Mil.Press correspondent that all work on SR-10 was suspended.

“Until money is allocated,” he summed up, refusing to dwell on details.
