Funny, China use AL31F ever since the first version of Su-27SK, where did Indian at that time? Any flankers installed with AL-31 series have the problem when suddenly starting afterburning,the oil supply will not be enough and this will cause the engine lower rotating or even stall. The only possible engine of the Al-31 series which may solve the problem is 117/AL-41F1 which used FADEC technology. Didn't your government reveals this to you or they just fool you because you are more interested in their boasting and PPTs? Why didn't your democratic government tell you this while the dictatorship country like us has told its taxpayers, is this the victory of democracy?Indian use AL 31FP while chinese use Al 31 FN.While its quite funny that Chinese team and members jumped to conclusion that its the engine issue without investigating which usually takes more than a week or so depend on severity.In this case it shows the amount of professionalism by PLAF and trying to cover up their failures or Industry by putting under the carpet.
