EXPORT APPROVAL FOR (SU-35) S-117 ENGINE
To tell you the true I don't know the prices .I think China might be in discussion with Russia on induction of the 14000kg 99M2 engine for J-10B. How much would this 117 cost? 5-6 million USD?
I agree that it is very important to upgrade engine with supercruise capability together with RAM coating AESA radar it will automatically put S-30MKI in 4++ category and prolong service life span of the planes alsoI wish the IAF considers the S-117 for its future upgrade on the SU-30 MKI which is essential to keep them fighting fit well into the future.
Al-31FN is raised to 40 million USD a piece.To tell you the true I don't know the prices .
I couldn't find them probably be cause they are not officially out yet.
If you find them, it would be nice to post them here:thank_you2:
No way, those engines are not even $5 million. 117S was not just designed for Su-35BM, but also to refit upgraded legacy Flankers. It will be offered for export. Maybe not to China, but everyone else.Al-31FN is raised to 40 million USD a piece.
117S might not be suitable to install on the older Su-30MKx frames before their structures intensified.
Then, as usual, we'll buy it from anyone else. Or just buy the experts who participated in the designing or manufacturing. Everything has the price.No way, those engines are not even $5 million. 117S was not just designed for Su-35BM, but also to refit upgraded legacy Flankers. It will be offered for export.

You sound like Vlad, another suit with same color and style. I don't see any substances for you to justify those claims. Are you going to say that you just know em?No way, those engines are not even $5 million. 117S was not just designed for Su-35BM, but also to refit upgraded legacy Flankers. It will be offered for export. Maybe not to China, but everyone else.
OK...do you say it be cause of logic or be cause of information that you got from some official source and if so it would be nice to hear few more details on that subject, how complex and costly those changes might beAl-31FN is raised to 40 million USD a piece.

BTW I tend to agree with Armand those engines can't be that expensive!Al-31FN is raised to 40 million USD a piece.
