That might give you a clue.
I'll be amazed if in a couple of years' time there are any SSJs left in service outside Russia.

By all accounts an excellent aircraft but let-down by (a) Sukhoi's inexperience in civil ops, with a strict MEL that grounds aircraft for minor issues and (b) a sluggish support chain that routes everything through Superjet International in Vienna. And when a part does arrive at the correct location, an SSJ-qualfied tech has to get there to install it.
Such a pity as it had a good chance of getting into the Western market, but support is what keeps aeroplanes flying.
