I need to remind always that Chinese use a RD-33 variant on their J-31, 5th Gen demonstrator (they haven't manage to copy the RD-33 or a equivalent until now).
With a RD-33 in production, 15t-20t larger engines may be skipped and the path for a direct RAM/SCREAM jet engine with the RD-33 powering it to necessary operating speeds.
Again mere speculation by many members here.
The chance that Iran reverse engineers RD-33 is quite low
More likely license production could be granted by Russia behind the scenes post 2020.
The news is quite ambiguous. The General never says fighter jet engines. He could be talking about civilian engines for small planes. After all civilian jet engines and helicopter engines can help both military AND civilian aviation.
So I won’t get my hopes up. After 20+ years of F-5 experimentation, even the J-85 (owj) isn’t being produced in sufficient numbers after its unveiling.
Iran used RD33 engine to upgrade its F5 fleet. Hull modified.AL-31/41
more like it, to put bit sense on it
I can't say anything about source where the first one came from to start reverse engineering.
Only think i can say it wasn't Russia Putin or China.
this RD-33 none sense was achieved after Moj engine, long time age that not what Moj Gen. Bagheri was talking about
who said that ??Iran used RD33 engine to upgrade its F5 fleet. Hull modified.
its old news , Iran imported around 30 or more engines from Russia. They were basically imported for Mig29 , but according to few news report, they were used in F5. Because part issue with American engines.who said that ??

Good guess! Could be Belarus this time again. Hefty enough money from Iran they might as well, since they even sold two to the us amongst others when they got rid of all su27sIf true then my money is on Venezuela as the source.
Might I ask what your conclusion is based on?i don't know anything about that news. father more the reason i posted AL-31 i was trying to Put stop to this RD-33 nonsense
