Yes knowing what material is used is part of blueprint. But how it is created, what techniques Russia uses, and the machines used to create such a material would not be included. Iran would have to reverse engineer how to build it. But the recent Turbofan unveiled Gives iran confidence it can do it.
I bet the materials used in the Jahesh-700 are already superior to all 1980 grade Russian materials. So thats no problem.
It’s possible Iran can get the blueprint through China.
Only Russian have the blueprints.
unlikely 1st Iranian AL-31 will be comparable to Russian AL-31 gen 1. It will take several generations to catch up to older AL-31 models. But even those engines blow away anything Iran currently has and would be a huge boon to heavy fighters.
Its all about materials and blueprints, with both you get a Al-31, make everything according to the specs and you are fine.
Initially you will just produce some non-conform parts which you have to scrap.
AL-31 is the one of most efficient way Iran can move forward unless it plans to get Western Architecture engines through espionage and arms dealers.
That FJ-33 is not called a 4th gen turbofan by Iran for no reason, even that small thing has several technologies superior to those used in the 70's design Al-31.
But I love the Al-31.
