Dante, That's like comparing Russian made Commercial Jets to American Commercial Jets..
Russian's suck at building and flying their planes, on the contrary Airbus and Boeing know how to build jets, just look on how many planes crash in Iran and the middle east..
Point is, It's irrational.
And tell me, how many times has another "Chernobyl" Happened?
Russian planes are no more dangerous than Boeing or Airbus. The difference is in the maintenance. Countries like Iran generally use older aircraft which require more maintenance. Then they short the maintenance and crashes result. When Boeing and/or Airbus planes are not maintained properly they crash just as often as Russian built planes that are not maintained properly.
