OAK is supposed to have finalized the specifications for Tu-204SM.

What are they like? How does the range and fuel burn of the existing Tu-204 compare against Boeing 757-200, and how shall the new Tu-204SM compare with B757?

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)
 

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones),  Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here
