If I remember correctly, they currently do not have the capacity to create new ones, as all of them were Soviet era. So, excellent news then 💕

I think the A100 development plane that got destroyed was going to be the plane they would be able to make new ones of? But with the development plane gone, they can’t really start making new ones, they gotta make a new development plane first and finish that process.
