The reliability of modern russian airliners

Just as safe as any other plane as long as they're properly maintained.

ssj fleet just got grounded, lmao

I'd agree with this. However, there's a not a great culture of safety in Russia. Why fix the #1 hydraulic system when you got another perfectly good one still working?

There's not a great culture of safety in Brazil neither but the Embraer are very good planes. It would be cool to see SSJ100 operated and maintained by european companies, in a "russianless" environment, to see how it performs. But this is a political mess

sukhoi ssj have just discovered a safety problem but so far they seems to be responding to it in a way that up to western standard. Have to see how the investigation would turn out first..

For what it's worth the Russian TU-154 crash appears to have been caused by the copilot pulling the wrong lever. He meant to raise the landing gear but instead pulled in the flaps. This might not have been a fatal error except that it seems the plane was also overloaded.

There was a Mexican airline pilot on a while back who commented on how the new Sukhois were perfectly fine flying machines when they were working, but that there was so many constant minor malfunctions that it caused complacency

There's so much variation between other planes that I don't think "any other plane" is a valid comparator.
