ZHUHAI, November 11. /TASS/. There is no danger of unlicensed copying of Russian aircraft, including in China, United Aircraft Building Corporation president Mikhail Pogosyan said on Tuesday.

“I believe that there is no direct danger. It is very difficult to make a copy of the high-tech product," he said. Pogosyan also remarked that he doesn't know cases of a copy achieviving global success on the world aircraft market.

Permanent technical improvement is the key method to fight unlicensed copying of aircraft, he said. “I believe that permanent progress, permanent movement forward is the key method to fight copying. The Russian industry is not at a stop and it is moving forward,” Pogosyan said.

In the 1990’s there were doubts that Russia would be able to sell its warplanes after China started legitimate production of the Su-27 fighters, he said, adding that these doubts were not confirmed.

Pogosyan noted certain progress in the industrial development of China. “I believe that the Chinese industry has reached a new level,” he said.
