Airshow China 2014: Russia to supply China with more RD-93 turbofans UPGRADED

[he-man]

For prototypes of J-31 they already have,so either for Block III or Export.

NOTE:mass produced j-31 will not be having Rd-93

Depends.

These engines are for block 2.
Keep in mind that there is one engine kept in reserve for the jets.
That would mean the first 100 were for block 1 while this batch is for block 2.
That will also tally nicely with current production estimate, i-e 2016.

Block II is already in production...The first contract would be for them but the second contract which i am talking about is a future development program....

China National Aero-Technology Import and Export Corporation (CATIC) had signed an agreement to upgrade the RD-93.

Hi,

Let me share something with you---if there was war---paf would go to battle with the RD 93 and not the WS13----why----RD93 is a proven and tested system---thousand and thousands of hours of actual service---pilots know how it is going to perform---technicians know what to service to keep tem going----.

WS-13 is under development not even started production yet so let it first develop

I agree with you as a recent development Russia seems to interested to start defense co operation with Pakistan i think Pakistan may equip their current 50 and at least next 50 of block 2 aircraft with reliable and more powerful RD-93MA Engine as they have years of experience with this RD-93 engine. may be if thing goes right Pakistan may directly import and overhaul this engine inside Pakistan.
