~$17-$20 million to replace that plane, if it was even possible given sanctions.

It was manufactured in Ukraine and discontinued back in 2002. So I would say replacement is unlikely.

I've always liked the fact that Ukraine was the one who developed a lot of the tech Russia had, and they are now showing again that they are still good at it while no longer making it for Russia.
