93s were tweaked on our request. Originally it could generate 8300kg, after tweaking it could give 8700kg. 93MA will provide up to 9600kg and can be tweaked to provide more if needed.But, more tweaking reduces over MTBO of the engine.

Is that image of blk3?

blk 2

blk 2

I think SD-10 can also be fitted on hardpoints no 5 and 3 on your picture, right?

There mostly fitted on 5 or 3 as seen on many pictures.

What if we tweak or overhaul rd93 with western parts or electronics... Will that increase thrust along with mtbo?

They are mostly fitted on 2 and 6....
1-2-3-|4|-5-6-7
As I think....

Not sure why multi racks on pylons other than 2 and 6 are not an option may be clearance ??

Also sd-10 and ld-10 cannot be mixed on dual rack ??

Unless just to keep the configuration on the layout clean

Seen a dual rack on fa-50 carrying aim-120 and Mk-82 on dual rack on either side

Russians dont design their engines that way. Adding uncertified parts will deteriorate the performance of the engine.

V old news. Look for my reply from atleast 2y ago.

Our RD93s have tweaked and upgraded enough to provide RD93MA level thrust. its already done...that is why investment in MRO Facility is done..

RD93MA is effectively an upgrade of RD93 --you know marketing tends to repackage and tend to offer with new name...just look at French ..

Ask @messiach she will concur

Oh yes yes

PAF already tried using Chinese crystal blade tech on the RD-93s and did some changes related to noise / IR reduction I think with the help of Klimov.

not sure about the mixed dual racks but dual pylons on 2 and 6 is an option and might be done soon.

Thanks for the post... Would you please share further details or the outcome of such a project or initiative ..

Most welcome. As @messiach has noted for so long, these were upgrades that there similar to what is now available on the RD-93MA. But I am guessing PAF didn't go with the MA for the Block 3, its got a new engine.

the only other option for JF-17 engine is WS-13E for B3 @Armchair
