The tactical transport has apparently had technical issues that have stretched out development for quite a while, but Russian and Ukrainian customers are still declaring commitment to the project. What I find most interesting is the (apparent) practice of performing flight test as part of airshows. To me the two endeavors are fundamentally incompatible. You don't do something in front of a crowd of onlookers unless you know for sure what will happen. But if you know for sure what will happen, then you aren't really doing flight test.
