After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, each of the multitude of bureaus and factories producing Sukhoi components was privatized independently. In the early 1990s, Sukhoi started diversifying its products and initiated '''Sukhoi Civil Aircraft''' to create a line of [[civil aviation]] projects for the company. The progress made by the new branch would lead to the development of the utility aircraft, the [[Sukhoi Su-80|Su-80]], and the agricultural aircraft, the [[Sukhoi Su-38|Su-38]], less than a decade later.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.uacrussia.ru/en/corporation/company/sukhoy/|title=JSC "Aviation Holding Company "Sukhoi"|website=www.uacrussia.ru|language=ru|access-date=2017-07-22|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170620203836/http://www.uacrussia.ru/en/corporation/company/sukhoy/|archive-date=2017-06-20}}</ref> In 1996, the government re-gathered the major part of them forming '''Sukhoi Aviation Military Industrial Combine''' ('''Sukhoi AIMC''').<ref name="Austin">{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=AFUiZB3Z60gC&q=omsk&pg=PA290|pages=291–292|title=The Armed Forces of Russia in Asia |isbn=9781860644856 |last=Austin| first=Greg| date=14 July 2000|publisher=I.
