That’s got to hurt sales of Russian planes! Russian ships tend to be dependable and workman-like pieces. Not the best but will hold together in a pinch—this is so—un-Russian.

China buys jet engines from Russia for their fighters because they are better then their own home grown engines. Truth be told, Russian engines aren't all that hot either. They tend to be big, produce a lot of thrust, and drink fuel like a Russian sailor on a vodka binge. They lack finesse...
