But that its what its suppose to be or aim at. Its don’t have 932mm of diameter like Al-41F-1/117s on Su-35s. That is why it can be installed on Al-31 fighters (excluding J-10) without modifications. Even when it was present at Zhuhai. It was offered as an upgrade for AL-31 jet fighter… “The engine corresponds to the AL-31F engine in terms of dimensions and weight, which ensures complete interchangeability with the engines of the current stage.”
There is people that said that the engine its no ready. And Russian just want partners.
Yea my bad i mean to said 14 tf or 30,860 lbf.
For what “FlankerChan” said Its use BARS mechanic parts and steering.
For what i remember reading that engine its too big, heavy and expansive. That’s why it wasn’t an option for Su-57. I also remember reading that Russia still have like 10 AL-41 stored somewhere.
@Gunjob I found some sources (pictures, video and informations) which may prove (maybe not) that Su-34NVO may have thermal cam. Problem is that some of them are from recent conflict. Is way how to share found data?
It had that thermal cam before conflict. Only most of pictures/video which probably prove that are from current conflict. Maybe I can post only part of data which are not from current conflict and remained data as direct message for people who will request them?
