Sorry, but that's exactly what I said You were claiming ... so why did You then say I misquoted You ???
Care to tell again what's Your calculation: 210kN for both engines in dry thrust or 210kN for each engine in wet (aka maximum AB) thrust ???
The first one would be realistic, the second is pure phantasy ! ... what You are suggesting would be an engine close to the Russian NK-25 or NK-32.
I had shown in my calculations, many times, how I came to the conclusion, that each WS-15 engine, must has a maximum thrust or wet thrust, with afterburner > 210kN.
How is that a fantasy?
The F-35's F135 engine is rated as a 190kN (probably a bit more) class engine, which is just 10% less than 210kN, and it was already developed in the 1990's and fully operational for over 10 years.
One F135 engine wad enough to push the F-35C, which has an empty weight of 15.8 tons.
How come I don't hear you claiming that "frankenstein" F135 engine is "impossible", "pure fantasy"?
Your mind got blown away, when I suggested WS-15 has maximum thrust > 210kN. I am sorry to say, it's probably because you have little imagination and no technical ability.
