Putin jokes: You can buy your own ice cream

At the MAKS Air Show, President Vladimir Putin joked with the CEO of Rostech Technologies, Sergey Chemezov, that he can afford his own ice cream. The company is a state corporation established in late 2007 to promote development, production and export of hitech industrial products for civil and defense sectors. Chemezov is CEO of Rostech Corporation, Chairman of the Union of Russian Mechanical Engineers, and a lieutenantgeneral of the Russian armed forces. Stealing the show this year was the MiG35 fighter jet, a classified 4++ generation. The multifunctional fighter jet has enhanced maneuverability and is designed to overcome largescale air defence systems. The jet will reportedly be taken into the service of the Russian armed forces in 2018.
