By TOM KINGTON, FARNBOROUGH, Britain – An official at the Chinese export agency marketing the Chinese JF-17/FC-1 fighter says Russia has given no signal that it will interrupt the flow of the RD-93 engine it makes for the aircraft.

“We have a contract for the supply of 100 engines, we have signed an agreement for the eventual supply of 500 engines, and we believe that is still on course,” said the official from the China National Aero-Technology Import and Export agency (CATIC). “I have not seen any instruction to stop this. We have nothing through official channels, and believe the engine is still an option for exported aircraft.”

The official spoke at the Farnborough Air Show, where the JF-17 made its first static display appearance at an international air show.

Earlier this month, Sukhoi general director Mikhail Pogosyan had appealed to his government to block the supply of RD-93s, which are built by Chernyshyov Machine-building Enterprise. Russian aircraft exports were being harmed by Chinese competition, Pogosyan had warned.

The aircraft has been sold to the Pakistani Air Force, which flew to Farnborough two of the 16 aircraft it has received.

“It is the first time we put the aircraft out there so we can get feedback,” said a Pakistan Air Force official, describing the $20 million JF-17. “For cost and capabilities, there is no equivalent.”

The CATIC official said that talks were underway with “four to six” potential export customers. Pilots from those nations had been testflying the aircraft in China, he said.

“We expect the first contracts in a year or two,” the official said.

The JF-17 will not fly at Farnborough, but is slated to give a flight demonstration at the Zhuhai Air Show in November, the official said.

You mean to say we can get 1000+ engines but we like WS-13 :chilli:
 
Goods News. :victory:

But where are our Indian friends with all their ":yahoo: and :rofl:" emoticons

P.S: Sorry mods but the way some indian members were celebrating really pissed me off.
 
Yeah Really Good News . Btw tht Engine Blockage News has really shown the hipocratic face of Indians which on one hand trying to think of Pakistan's benefit(transit to Afghanistan and Most Favouite Country thing)
but on the other hand they are they were so happy and were jumping off their chairs when they heard abt JF17 blockage.

I will say Bagal Main Churri ,Moun main Ram Ram.
 
Okay, here is Indian. I am really confused what to say.
Not because earlier news was that engines wont be supplied and now yes nod given.
But because earlier pakistani nationals said they were happy they would get better WS-13.
And now they are again happy with Rd-93.

Accha attitude "Jo mille ussmae he kush raho"
 
Didn't similar thing happen with the France deal? There was news that JF-17 package had been cancelled but it turned that the deal was on after all.

Indians seem to counting their chickens too early before they hatch as regards to their diplomacy power.

Pakistani said even if they stop we have engines for next 2 or 3 years......And at that time we'll have WS 13..SO we dont need to worry at all.....


Sorry This news must have broke many heats and some people might also had a heart attack but.......What can we do.....Its business :lol:
 
Then what will be , WS-13, ?
Builting work will be started or stoped.?
It will go as scheduled.....But with this news they wont have a strict timeline on them. If we have WS 13 then i am pretty sure the export version will be powered by ws 13 to avoid any 'concerns' or Objections of Russia
 
Yeah coz its just a matter of time when Chinese Engine WS-13 will be ready to fly then Russians cant do anything abt it.so y not Russian earn as much as they can from just selling the engines.
 
its good news and good slap on the month of indian. and 2nd think work on ws-13 will never stop because we will ready to counter this situation. i think Russia cameback because he know about ws-13 project so now he want sale more and more rd93 before comeing of ws-13 mass production
