Let's play a game here. Name the ATP vs the IL 114. I had to pick underside photos that don't show the flags. Maybe I'll find more later.
Nice try......the vertical tail design is different, the entire flap system it's different, etc....so you post the other plane picture from a long distance so to make hard to catch the details...
When we were in the Soviet Union, we completely covered our needs with our own aircraft. Developing your own aircrafts is the right way to go. And the point is probably even in the commercial success in foreign markets, but the fact that Russian aviation will no longer depend on the whims of the United States and Europe in the form of "sanctions". With this, both Boeing and Airbus shoot themselves in the his own foot. Aeroflot has already reduced orders from Boeing and Airbus last year, due to receiving 10 ssj and waiting for MC-21. With the release of the MC-21, Russia will have an almost complete line of aircraft. And if in some unthinkable way a miracle happens and Putin suddenly bans the purchase of foreign aircraft, then I think that both Boeing and Airbus will not be very happy about it.
I can sympathize with this sentiment. When a country has access to a domestic line of production it reduces costs associated with imports. The US, through SpaceX , has also developed it's own system in order to not have to rely on the Russian Soyuz for spaceflight.
Kamovs are not original? When it comes to special applications and versatility Kamovs are the way to go. They can go places and do things a tail rotored heli can't.
Does this vary by state?... b/c in New York, Drivers Ed is mandatory. Usually it is offered on the weekends or after school by the school district, but to say it's "ridiculously easy" is it a bit of an understatement. While think some people I know who drive shouldn't be allowed on the road, it's not all THAT easy to get a license here. Many people do not pass the first time.
Driver's Ed is not mandatory in the states I've lived in. You can read the state-issued manual on your own, and take the written exam to get your learner's permit. Then you can have anyone teach you; a friend or relative, or a paid instructor. You can take the driving exam whenever you feel ready.
That's pretty "ridiculously" easy. It can't get much easier.

Not only do you save money by making your own you establish the system of production which has other benefits. The big diesel electric engines they now solely produce are not only used in warships. Locomotives use them too, mining equipment, power stations, hospitals you name it.

This kind of tech may be common and basic but it's part of the foundation of a powerful industrial civilization. Read about Aeroflots history and you will find it was actually quite immense compared to even America back in the day.

The closure of the Vladivostok consulate and another in Yekaterinburg would leave the United States with one remaining diplomatic outpost in Russia, its embassy in Moscow. Credit... https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/19/u...in-russia.html
