China and Russia asaviationThe great powers, all facing the problem of heavy dependence on Western Boeing and Airbus. In the case of sanctions imposed by Western countries against Russia, the latter cannot get the advanced WestAirliners；And China was aware of this problem earlier and began to bigAirplanesThe self-developed C-919 has been successfully put into commercial use. Given the similar dilemmas faced by both sides, China and Russia have decided to take a big decisionAirplanesCollaborate on projects.
However, while pursuing the CR-929 project, the Russian side confidently launched its ownmc-21Project. mc-21It's RussiaaviationThe core products developed by the institution have invested a lot of resources, and the technical specifications are generally higher than those of CR-929. However, due to certain limitations in terms of commercialization,mc-21It is suitable for the domestic market of Russia, but may not be advantageous in the international market.
China and RussiaThe two companies decided to jointly develop a new modelAirliners, because the two countries are inaviationThe field has the strength of independent research and development, and can complement each other's advantages. However, the Russian side seems to consider itself biggerAirplanesThe field is more advantageous because they have a technological base of Soviet times, and in the large and medium militaryTransport aircraftThe technology is leading the world.
With Russia's sudden change of heart to rejoin the CR-929 program and its request for subcontracted parts, it can be seen that they realize that their situation is more awkward than they thought. Independently developed by RussiaAirplanesIt can only be sold domestically, and it cannot open the international market in a short period of time, and the financial situation is not abundant. Therefore, they want to be able to share core technologies with China and share a little profit on the C-929 project.
China is bigAirplanesInitial breakthroughs have been made in the field, and the commercialization of the C-919 and international airworthiness certification are advancing. With the increase in the recognition of the domestic market, China is also gradually opening up the international market, and foreign customers have ordered independent productionAirplanes。In contrast, the Russian side may have realized that China is less interested in their core technology than it used to be.
Despite the fact that the situation has changed considerably, the Russian side is still willing to cooperate with China. In the current world situation, win-win cooperation has always been the principle of both sides. Despite the fact that China is already inCriticalA breakthrough has been made in this field, but it is still willing to cooperate with the Russian side in terms of components with advantages.
Through this case, we can see:China and RussiaThe two countries are in the bigAirplanesThe tortuous process of cooperation in the field. China is bigAirplanesThe results of R&D have gradually been recognized by the market, while Russia is facing certain difficulties in independent R&D. The original intention of Sino-Russian cooperation was to complement each other's advantages, but with China's technological breakthroughs, the Russian side gradually felt that its core technology was no longer strongly demanded by China. In this case, the Russian side has chosen to rejoin the cooperation and maintain a certain level of participation by subcontracting components. This also reflectsChina and RussiaCooperation in the bigAirplanesThere is still potential, but it requires more balanced and long-term strategic thinking.
