Surprise Debut for Russian Light Jet at MAKS
The SR-10 is apparently derived from Sukhoi’s previous work to develop an innovative military trainer and sporting airplane.

A new Russian jet made a surprise debut at the MAKS 2017 show held near Moscow last week, where it flew each day. The SR-10 is a subsonic two-seater that has two applications: as a sport jet and as a light jet trainer for military pilots. It has been developed by a new and little-known organization named SAT, which is a Russian acronym for “Modern Aviation Technologies.”
