Iran has been trying to make a fighter engine for quite some time already. But it is unlikely Russia would share that kind of technology.
some time sharing is not practical especially after Ukraine conflict. Russia may want to minimize its scientist and engineers exposure. I saw Putin statement that not only foreign specialist has to demonstrate traditional values but Russian interacting with them must. thats why you get all the big events and manufacturing centered around Kazan. Kazan can manage Geran/Shahed production and any foreign labor on this scale.

Seems like the Borei class is alot smaller than public data would suggest. Satellite measurements shows the sub is actually only ~156m long while public data says its 170m long. Actual displacement may only be 16000-18000t.

It is quite hard to measure something from sat picture, and meaure the length of a sub in water is even harder.

Here is a Borei (Knyaz Oleg) lenght in a drydock from 2020/07.

And the first three length could be different , they been built from Akula forward sections.

Problem is there is no pic of them in drydock.
