But as noted in the JF-17 thread, via my contacts I heard, the PAF has lots of issues with supply chain related to maintenance for the RD-93.
Supply chain issues may not be related to problems with engine production. It could be a completely different issue.

Just as a thought: there might be a political side to this too. Historically, Russia has strong ties to India. Supplying Pakistan with defense technology has been a point of contention betwwen India and Russia in the past. This can be interpretated in several ways.

- The Pakistan might be happy to drive a small wedge between India & Russia by buying from Russia.
- Russia might be happy to demonstrate to India the danger of the current US-friendly course by supplying Pakistan.

Also:
- China might be willingly supportive of Russian Aerospace industry by handing them this export order.

P.S.: How to quote a post? I click in the "Quote" and it says "message added" and, well, no quote?

Pretty sure JF-17 use Russian engine. Nothing new this regard.

In the top bar of the word editor there is a quote button that shows you which quotes you want to add. Its between the emoji button and the insert media button.

G'day!

Since I'm not exactly sure where to ask, is there a spreadsheet of some sort that includes all known data/values for Chinese engines? Things such as thrust range, TBO, etc.

It would be incredibly handy for future reference.
