Maybe a little more... probably equal to the 757-200 (old one has a little less range)
But the specs sound more like they made a sanction-free version of the old one, with some extras to tease other customers besides the license program with IAIO. They kicked out the Honeywell displays and put russian made ones in
The -300 (original) /-500 (new) versions are a lot more interesting... its like a rebirth of the 747SP concept but with a 757 fuselage, and they are planning a faster wing (M0.84 cruise) for the -500 version that might end up in the -400 too
Don't expect these to show up in the US often... Main customer base is Russian domestic + charters and the other usual customers (Iran, North Korea)
