MOSCOW, April 10. /ITAR-TASS/. Russia’s United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) will deliver to the Russian Defense Ministry 90 planes this year, UAC President Mikhail Pogosyan told ITAR-TASS.

“In 2011, a total of 12 planes had been delivered to the Russian Defense Ministry, which corresponded to the plan,” Pogosyan recalled. “The number of planes delivered in 2012 was 35 and last year - 55, in accordance with the contracts, concluded with the Defense Ministry.
