Look lca needs a engines which weight about 1000 kg and produces thrust of about 90KN. ( For mk1).Not arguing buddy,
trying to learn..
Those specs even Russian haven't matched . Their contemporary rd33 falls short of this performance. Only gef404 matches it.
If you build a su30 class engines with same efficiency and thrust to weight ratio of f404 it will produce far more thrust than current al31. That's what Russian are trying to do with item 30.
If you go to kaveri thread you will find we are already building engine blade with DC amd scb tech which are more advanced than whatever used in al31.
We learned know how to build al31 we didn't learn Know why !! To design and build engine suitable for lca. And Russian know how is not enough for what we need now. We need Western level of tech to match f404/f414 level performance in thrust and efficiency and reliability which is simply another league compared to what Russia has operational now. Let's see how item30 takes them!
