Soviet Aircraft
Are Russian airliners any worse than European and American airliners?
A lot of the major crashes recently have occured using Tupolevs and other Russian (usually ex-Soviet) airliners.
My question is, are Russian aircraft and their manufacturing processes inherently anyworse than Airbus or Boeing, or is it a case of usually the Russian aircraft are opporated by airliners from less developed countries who don't have the same maintaince regulations as some developed countries?
Are Russian aircraft less safe, or is it simply a lack of maintainance?
Thanks
no.
