Re: Chinese delegation sent to Russia to discuss stealth fighter engin

There is a very strong false belief that su-50 is an exclusively India-Russian
venture. It is not China and Brazil may have their own export versions and others.
It is still not clear in open source what aspects of the aircraft is covered in IPR. According to both countries, it will be a 50-50 IPR control. Earlier we knew that FGFA will be the export version while PAKFA will be VVS specific. But even IAF wants FGFA to be IAF specific. That means Russia or both Russia and India will have to make a third version for export. Regardless, if we hold 50% of the IPR for the entire PAKFA/FGFA project, then this aircraft will never be exported to China, just like Brahmos. In case, the Russians somehow managed to sell Brahmos to China, then we will worry about PAKFA/FGFA to China.

The PAKFA version offered to Brazil is far into the future. We don't even know if they will take it.
