I'm not sure I understand your question. Wikipedia editors don't know why Flightradar24 has decided not to change the name.

It does not matter. Flightradar is not the definitive reference of what is the most common name. You have to wait for this to happen. Probably not days. --

We've already said we're not going to remove "Sukhoi" from where it's already used now, and we've explained why. For some reason, you either refuse to accept the reasons, or you don't understand them, so you keep asking the same basic question over and over with various changes to your questions. This is becoming disruptive and needs to stop, regardless of the underlying reason. Thanks.

The User BeirutMa2021 has a point. When Douglas sell itself to Boeing, the MD-95 became the Boeing 717. I think he's says the same principle appleis. The Sukhoi is now an Irkut, no longer a Sukhoi.

Recent verified news is urgently needed on this topic! It's so out of date it's a shame! Local blogs are way ahead, such as "Import-substituted Superjet makes its maiden flight. The prototype of the Russian SJ-100 short-haul aircraft manufactured by the Yakovlev Production Center in Komsomolsk-on-Amur has made its maiden flight [Aug 28'23]. The tests confirmed stable operation of all domestic systems, controllability and stability of the airplane in the air." Are any Wikipedians able to keep us up to date on this topic?

Foreign blogs and news outlets are full of good information, but not considered "reliable sources" in Wikipedia. So we have to wait for American sources to report on what's happening, but they don't (or won't). Also I don't know how to find American sources for Yakovlev production reports. Any Russian or Iranian information would be deleted, so it is not worth editing. But the development of this aircraft and similar small aircraft is still rapidly evolving regardless of American media silence.

Sources are not forbidden just because they aren't in the English language - for example most English-language blogs won't pass as WP:RS either. If you have sources then bring them here to the talkpage or to
WP:RSN where they can be evaluated. Also note that for things like first flights of the modified, Western-part free version of the Superjet, it shouldn't take that long for the news to be reflected in reliable sources.

Rebranding
Irkut has decided to rebrand as Yakovlev, with the Superjet to be redesignated SJ-100 (see ref. in article). It is not clear, however, whether the aircraft will be known as the Yakovlev SJ-100 or just plain SJ-100. I suggest we hold off on renaming the article until that becomes clear.

The SJ-100 name is far from common yet, and we often don't rename aircraft articles when the name/designation and/or company name changes. However, if there is a consensus to rename the article, it will most likely be moved to "
Yakovlev SJ-100", per
WP:AIR/NC naming conventions, which says to include the manufacturer's name.

Is it permitted to list sources that keep up-to-date with industry changes like this? Flightglobal.com, for example, has daily trade information on topics like the transition of Sukhoiu to Irkut to Yakovlev. Trade sources are sometimes helpful when to topic gets muddled - and news of Russian aviation industry these days is often muddled.
