News on AL-31F engine sales

Can anyone verify this? Assuming if it's true, 150 engines = +75 J-11's to be assembled?

=====================================

China Buys Russian Jet Engines Wholesale

Rosoboronexport, the state military export company, sealed a $500 million contract to supply China with jet engines of Moscow-based Salyut engineering plant. The engines will be installed on Russian Su-27SKM fighters assembled in China under the Russian license.
The contract of Rosoboronexport and China stipulates for deliveries of 150 engines of the AL-31F model developed for the Su-27/Su-30 jet series. The engines will be used for the assembling of Su-27SK fighters at a plant in Shenyang.

This is the third contract of Salyut on engines supply to China this year. Late June, the state arms export company signed a contract with Beijing to deliver 100 AL-31FN engines within 2 years for J-10, or Super-10, light fighters. The deal was $350 million worth.

Experts estimate China’s need in AL-31FN engines at 250 items, which may bring Russia some $900 million. To all appearances, after China gets the first lot of 100 engines, it will sign a new agreement with Rosoboronexport.

Russian Article as of Dec. 16, 2005

i dont like this article. it says the su-27 skm is being under being build under liscence in china, buts its the sk.

other than that, it seems pretty accurate, altough it contains information thats been out for a while. but ia appreciate it.

j-10=super 10?

that article is full of mistakes. The article can't even decide whether China is building su-27skm or sk under license. When did the AL-31FN deal become 350 million? lol.

yeah, the al-31 deal was only 300 million when it was signed in august(not june). unless inflation has really been rising that fast, the 50 million $ just came out of nowhere.

150 engines for the j-11s? the chinese are going to use ws-10a on future j-11s.

honestly, klimov and salyut shouldnt get their hopes up for future engine deals. the chinese have been rolling out some good engines lately, and the russian engines are usually flawed, the kilmov ones especially.

this article is half a year out of date
