Is the AL-31F-M3 the same engine as the 117 on Pak-Fa:confused:
And is the AL-31F-M2 the same as the 117S engine, both having 14.500kgf:confused:

no, products “similar” of different companies but based on the same point of beginning (AL-31F)

Have Solyut and Saturn shared all the basic consept & design in order to have a more standardization on all the engines they produce?
w.t.f. is going on??

I believe that no, but both comañian supposedly cooperated to produce the definitive motor of the PAK-FA

This may be a bit off topic, but why has no one bought a license to build Fulcrums? Is it because MiG was not as willing to make the kind of deal Sukhoi did?

I think that in the book by Yefim Gordon said that North Korea bought the license in the 80

Apart from these 12, how many Su-27 were upgraded to SM standard from existing airframes so far? Any UBs included?

48 Su-27Sm in 4 Squadron + some units in Lipetsk, etc.

And how many MiG-29 SMT refused by Algeria are in RuAF service?

Thanks.

30 SMT and 6 UBT

AL31 FP, Single Crystal Blade done by Investment casting at HAL in a vacuum furnace. And I believe AL55 also have a single crystal blade..

and NK86A? I think it was the first soviet engine with monocrystal blades, I am not sure about NK-32.

It is difficult my to find the servicelife and MTBO of French motors. for example ATAR-9 and M53. Is similar its MTBO to contemporary American engines?

Thanks

The Argentine military spending is near the 0,7% of argentinean GDP. The probability of an attack to the islands is 0%.

Good question.
Dunno, but that is the older cockpit layout i believe.
Do they have the same Hud now as they did back then?

I think that is the same HUD and is the same as the Su-25SM
