Russia Signs $300M Deal to Supply Engines for China’s New Combat Jet
The world may run on oil but I am beginning to wonder how far it would sprint without Russian brainpower. Given the downward spiral of our education system the Russians could widen the gap.
A few examples:
Also note: Our Atlas rockets use Russian RD-180 engines and Russia is to be the principal partner for the United States' Boeing corporation in designing the new Boeing 787 Dremliner

Another issue that the Syrians are persistently raising is far more sensitive: the sale of Russian S-300 air defense systems to Damascus. These systems are so effective that they could change the entire military-strategic situation in the Near East region. http://66.102.7.104/search?q=cache:tjbM9O6S9LEJ:focusonjerusalem.com/strategic.html+SHIHAB-3++S-300&....

Russia’s main arms exporter has signed a $300 million deal to sell jet fighter engines to China, the Associated Press news agency reported on Monday, quoting Russia’s Vedomosti daily.
The deal includes 100 AL-31 engines for China’s J-10 single-engine fighter and is one of Rosoboronexport’s largest this year, the Vedomosti daily reported.
A spokesman for Rosoboronexport refused to confirm or deny the report.
Russia has stepped up its sales of military hardware in recent years, with arms exports reaching a post-Soviet record of 5.8 billion last year.
China is the largest buyer of Russian military weaponry and equipment, and Russian-built Su-27 and Su-30 jet fighters make up the core of China’s air force. In 2003, China bought 53 such engines for the J-10, which is fitted with Russian “Zhemchug” radar.
The Soviet Union exported an estimated $20 billion in weaponry annually during the 1980s, but most was provided to Soviet allies on a credit or barter basis or even without charge.
