    LMFS Here is the interview

    https://ria.ru/20110815/417675459.html

    – Did you drop in air defense-pro-vko tomorrow today?

    – Why drop in. I think that the nomenclature of aerospace defense weapons currently in development is comprehensive. In addition to the above funds and their subsequent upgrades, there will be no others on earth.

    – I.e…?

    – That is, the following weapons will not be land-based, but air. The following systems, which will appear after the S-500, will be air-based.

    Some of them are also already under development and are being tested.

    LMFS , On Mig-41 program the last boss of Almaz-Antey Igor Ashurbeyli had said in an interview that the next generation SAM that they were working on wont be land based but will be only Air Based.

    This was way back in 2011 when he was boss but he didnt revel more details.

    Likely besides being an interceptor the Mig-41 will Lug along the next generation SAM in their underbelly to take on ASAT and BM targets , Flying High and Fast has the advantage that you can travel many 100 km in many minutes and dont waste energy in booster to take your SAM to tens of Km in Altitude making you SAM smaller in Size and Weight.

    Also the possibility that Mig-41 will carry laser based weapon cannot be ruled out either.

    I wonder why they cant add 5th HP on the wings end or close to it for a R-73 ? , It would be a waste of Wing Area space or may be for 4 HP they can have a dual rack for A2A missile as seen on some western fighters

    As PD-8 will have higher BPR 7-8 over SaM146 4.5 we can also expect better fuel efficiency.

    Just came across this very recent article by Vladimir Karnozov on Russian Engine , At the end of the article there is a comparision between Western and all Russian engine including PS-90 and PD-14

    https://www.aex.ru/docs/3/2019/8/26/2950/

    Specific fuel consumption, kg / kgf * h for PW 1400G is 0.51
    Specific fuel consumption, kg / kgf * h for PD-14 is 0.525

    He mentions in that article

    Certification MS-21 / PD-14 is planned by mid-2022. According to the calculations of Perm, they beat PW1500 at the cost of a flight hour of 3-5%. Fuel consumption is slightly higher, but the PD-14 has fewer blade stages, which means it is easier and faster to service on the ground.

    Surprise to see in that table SaM146 Engine fuel consumption of Superjet 100

    Specific fuel consumption, kg / kgf * h is 0.629 which is worse than PS-90A1 ( 0.604 ) and PS-90A2 ( 0.6 )

    As the Russian would be using variant of PD-14 and even PD-35 for Civil and Military Transport aircraft , I would assume simplicity of maintenance would be a key factor for the military.

    Hence sticking to High Bypass Engine would be a key factor and yes the PD-18R GTF wont see light of the day now.

    I was expecting at MAKS they would show some data on Fuel Consumption of PD-14 versus PW 14000G

    So a high bypass turbofan engine will turn out to be less expensive to maintain than a GTF one ?

    Probably would be the same for LEAP versus GTF

    More Customers Surface for MC-21 as It Debuts at MAKS

    https://www.ainonline.com/aviation-news/air-transport/2019-08-28/more-customers-surface-mc-21-it-debuts-maks

    All the three of the test aircraft now flying rely on Pratt & Whitney PW1400G turbofans, while the fourth, now under assembly, will feature PD-14s. The Aviadvigatel design house promises a 3 to 5 percent advantage in operational cost per flight hour through lower maintenance compared to the Pratt geared turbofan
