The experience of using Russia’s combat aircraft in Syria inspires optimism, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin said at a meeting on the development of the country’s combat aviation on Wednesday, according to TASS news agency.

"I want to say at once that the experience of the combat use of our aviation in Syria testifies to the high mastership of the design potential and our designers and technologists," Rogozin said, adding that the skills and courage of Russian combat aviation pilots should be added to this.

The designers’ basic efforts today are focused on the new work related to the Prospective Aviation Complex of Frontline Aviation T-50, Rogozin said.

"I would like to note the high potential of the Russian military aircraft-making. Both we and the entire country have been able to get convinced in that," the vice-premier said.
