It doesn’t even have winglets. It looks like something from the 80s.

757-200 with the wings moved up slightly on the fuselage. Slightly shorter with a slightly narrower wingspan.

The reciprocating diesel engines are a dead giveaway.

Is it as good as their hockey team?
That was supposed to be a winner as well.

It flies better with a little vodka added to the tank.

The plane has Russian-built turbofans... What engines does it have then? Aren't Turmansky's still banned in the EU because of their noise?

What will it do that an A-320 or 737-800 won’t?

Winglets add efficiency on longer flights, and reduce it on shorter ones.
So we have the almost same model plane with and without winglets depending on which distance route it is expected to fly

Hey, that’s just me.
