This is what I call "high quality" russian junks.!!!!!
Please sunny boy, China still buys Russian engines. And by your logic the F-22 must be American junk because one prototype crashed. Take your petty comments elsewere and start acting like an adult.
At last, PtldM3. JF-17 no longer uses russian engine.
Yes it does, don't make stories up.
They bought 60 RD-93 just in case WS-13A is no ready.
Clearly it was not ready and it still is not ready.
But WS-13A is ready and in the Farnborough air show, two JF-17 flow with Chinese WS-13A engine. Also, the newly delivered 50 JF-17 also uses Chinese WS-13A engine!!!
Bringing an engine or radar or anything to an airshow does not mean it is ready, various vendors often bring products that are still in development to showcase at airshows. And two JF-17 flying with the WS-13 engine means little, at some point all engine have to be instaled on an actual aircraft to undergo real world endurance tests. So what is your point? The Astra, NIIP radar and dozens of other prototype products have been exhibited at air shows, again what is your point?
Do you care to explain what happen in the picture?? You ULTRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA realiable, S-117 engine??
Yea, it was a malfunction in the automatic flight control system caused by a malfunctioning multi-parameter sensor. And to be clear the engine never failed, the malfunctioning sensor merely caused additional fuel to be fed into the engine. More importantly the problem was quickly identified and corrected.
It's also a prototype engine. These things happen in new engines, the only difference is that with Sukhoi it happened in front of 200,000 people. What makes you sure that China has not had something similar or worse happen? Considering that both prototype F-22 and SU-35's aircraft have crashed it's safe to say that China has also had some serious problams with it's prototype aircraft.
Didn't the J-11BS desintegrate in mid air do to the WS-10 engine? An aircraft desintegrating due to an engine problem is alot more serious than a faulty sensor that was quickly replaced.
