]I thought the IL96 and Ty204/214 production stopped after only 30 or so and in both cases and only 15 or so are still flying nearly all for the Russian Government. ( source Wikipedia) And if my memory is correct the Ty201/214 has western avionics, but OK ,that can ne changed if the build new aircraft. But than mean years to bridge the gap. As to the long term pariah State : is Russia seriously considering not flying internationally for many years and turning into a very large North Korea ?
