People are confusing 117 and 177 again?
Sorry for being just a tad bit more skeptical of Russian procurement than American I guess.
America tends to be far more reliable about actually getting things made, and seeing as we have actual confirmation that AIM-260 is in LRIP, I don’t see why this logic would apply to izd.810 since Izd.810 hasn’t had any meaningful news about it in a year or 3…
Quite a LARGE difference to AIM-260 which has had a decent stream of information coming out every so often.
Izd. 177 needs Type 99 mounts like those on the AL-31 Flankers.
AL-41S uses different mounts.
Izd. 177 is not Al-41S.
Also you literally proved it yourself.

117 vs 177
al-41s can be used in old al-31 equipped aircraft though as well. just needs some changes

Really? last I heard the AL-41 needed different mounts.
But alright. Guess I was wrong.
it does need some changes, just that it can be done on any previous flanker platform.

so the same as putting F100-PW-229 or even -232 in F15As?
or probably even F110-GE-132
This naming got me confused, I read 117S and 177S as the same thing.
So I guess 117S, 177 and 177S are all separate engines.
This one is just Al-41
just another day in the Russian arms industry
Well, to be fair, Izd 177 and 177S Is just a factory name. In service it will get something along the usual AL-something
let’s go!
