They know how important reduction gears are. They have been building the largest helicopters of the World for sixty years.

my point has been it'll be interesting to see how they fare in reductors for naval gas turbines, something which will be known let's say dozen years from now (or much sooner if they goofed that's why I said "let's wait and see" in the post you quoted

They have been using gas turbine powered naval ships since the sixties so they did have the technology but a quarter of a century ago it was likely mislaid. There is no magic involved so providing enough resources to competent people will be enough.

all right all right delft I've heard too many statements like yours from all over the world to believe any, Like for you, see the Russian gas turbines with Russian reductors in 2030 cheers

Mikoyan-Gurevitch Izdeliye 33 (MiG-33 Foghorn acording ASSC-NATO nomeclature).

Around 1980, the Mikoyan OKB design bureau began working on a very light “strike fighter” that was intended to be a direct competitor to the F-16 Fighting Falcon. This new Mikoyan design, designated Izdeliye 33 (Izd 33) (and variously translated as “Article 33”, “Project 33”, “Product 33”, or “Project R-33”), was of conventional layout and similar in appearance to the F-16. It was powered by a single Klimov RD-33 afterburning turbofan engine – the same engine used by the twin-engined MiG-29. While extensive wind-tunnel testing was conducted on the design, no prototypes were built since the Soviet Air Force (VVS) dropped its support for concept about 1986. The program was one of several victims of the VVS’ changing operational needs, financial constraints, and a growing preference for twin-engined,multirole designs
