do RD-33 have same issue with smoke?
B] Even a small trail of smoke is not good.[/B]
Not good for plane or environment. ?? And if plane what are the bad effects? Sorry dont know much about Fighters.just "a bit"

heat/IR signature i suppose?

i find the RD-93 to be a bit under-powered and not the best match. For now it is more than sufficient.
I do hope for replacement soon. American engine would be too risky (politics) but perhaps we should work with the French.
Any engine options from the French?
nope black smoke does not increase your IR signature. Because IR basically differentiates things on basis of temperture.Now smoke or no smoke exhaust gases coming out of engine are extremly hot anyway.
It is said if the Chinese proposed engine for JF17, which is WS13, becomes successfull, it will provide JF17 with 0.99 TWR, however, WS13 is not as efficient as the russian RD93.
I agree to you 100%, in my humble opinion, RD93 is underpowered.
The current RD93 in the current JF17 fighter aircraft gives it the Thrust to weight Ratio (TWR) of 0.95, however, the future RD93 with 10% extra thrust and JF17 with substantial Composite materials will improve this Ratio.

same day when NRO was declared
But it does mean that there is unburnt fuel, or rather, that the engine is not performing as efficiently as it should. In addition, leaving a trail of smoke not only provides an additional unwanted visible signature, but can also give the enemy a better idea of your trajectory.nope black smoke does not increase your IR signature.
