[CriticalThought]

Tell me who designed, integrated and qualified DSI intakes in thunder?

Obviously, the Chinese. Here is a Chinese guy reporting about it in 2007

Attempting a post-stall Sukhoi maneuver...

Is Dr Sb. joking or for real?

Is Dr Sb. joking or for real?

For real. He has some work on post stall maneuvering of the JF17 and it appears he finally got a chance to test his work in flight. FYI I'm 90% sure that's a certain flight-capable scale model of the JF17 and not an actual JF17.

In another post he hinted a possibility of conformal tanks. Man that would be great to have!

Pretty sure he said in a next life lol.

As in next block? With a finger crossed. Also you are right about the post stall maneuver being tested on a model. A closer look shows no canopy and a very silver exhaust, unlike a real RD93.

As in not going to happen lol.

Would have been nice though.

Perhaps WS-19 might change that in the future.

Looks like there is production for RD-93MA

Is it 630 m rubles? That would mean 1-2 engines. Likely more prototypes?

Chinese only engineered it. Idea came from PAF, may be i'm mixing up but ACM SL mentioned in one of his interviews, about how he used to demand changes along side it's development.
Best would be someone ask him, if some one have access to him.
