Italy plans to acquire large number of Superjets

Italian companies are set to acquire a "large number" of Sukhoi Superjet 100s, according to Russian prime minister Vladimir Putin.

Speaking to a conference on strategy for socio-economic development of Russia's far eastern region to 2020 - where Sukhoi manufactures the Superjet, at its Komsomolsk-on-Amur plant - Putin says the attention is "no longer about prototypes but valuable serial production".

I wondered what Italy would purchase in return for Russia buying the IVECO's.

So I guess the news about Putin and Berlusconi being close was not way off. And I say this only half in jest.
