SU-35 engine question

Read in another forum

Engine Thrust Lifetime
Al41F 137,5 kn 4.000 hours
Al31F 122.6 kn 1.500 hours

The Al41F needs an overhaul every 1500 hours at a cost of USD 200K (with minor maintenance every 500 hours at USD 50K each).

Unlike the Al31F, trashed after 1500 hours, the Al41F has a total maintenance/spares cost during its lifetime of approx USD700K.

+ half price of western engines

Sounds pretty good. Comments?
