… we have seen many units equipped with WS-20 engines too.


Pardon, but where have we seen „many units“ equipped with WS-20 engines? So far we have seen none? Or do you mean „unit“ in the sense of „individual aircraft“?

It's from the guys who designed the D-30 engine series. Aviadvigatel aka Soloviev Design Bureau.


The site itself is reliable for the D-30 without question, but how reliable it is in terms of "confirming" an unlicenced clone/development of their own engine is already in service, is another story. Even more so terms like "mounted" on can be read as anything from being tested once, still in test up to equips all current production aircraft.
