Special Mission Aircraft : DA42 MPP Guardian ready for production

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<img alt="1569624_-_main.jpg" class="bbCodeImage LbImage" height="360" src="http://defence.pk/attachments/1569624_-_main-jpg.157394/" width="640" />
 
 
 
 
 
Chinese state-owned defence equipment firm China Electronics Technology 
Group Corporation (CETC) revealed that it has entered into an agreement 
with Austrian light aircraft constructor Diamond Aircraft Industries 
GmbH to indigenously develop and manufacture special mission aircraft 
based on the DA42 Multi-Purpose Platform (MPP) for the domestic and 
export market. The collaboration was showcased at the 2014 Airshow exhibition held in Zhuhai from 11 to 16 November. 
 
According to CETC, its Chengdu-based Special Mission Aircraft System 
Engineering Co Ltd (CETC SMA) business unit will offer fully-equipped 
aircraft, as well as an extensive range of avionics and electronic 
mission systems to cater to specific customer requirements. 
 
The lightweight DA42 MPP Guardian - which has an overall length, height 
and wingspan of 8.7 m, 2.49 m, and 13.42 m respectively - is a multirole
 platform capable of operating from short runways with a minimum 
take-off and landing distance of 700 m and 570 m. It can accommodate 
four personnel - a pilot and up to three mission system operators - 
although seating can be reduced to two for additional payload capacity. 
 
CETC said it will be offering its DA42 MPP Guardian in at least four 
configurations. A maritime patrol aircraft (MPA) variant, called the 
Ocean Hawk, features a nose-mounted electro-optical infrared (EO/IR) 
sensor turret, synthetic aperture radar (SAR), and an automatic 
identification system (AIS). The Scout, an electronic intelligence 
(ELINT) platform, can carry a mission payload comprising a digital 
direction finder, wideband radio and satellite monitoring receiver, as 
well as a signal analysis system with real-time data processing 
capabilities. The company will also produce the Trident Eye and Star of 
Aerial Surveying variants, which are designed for airborne environmental
 surveying and precision mapping missions. 
 
Speaking to IHS Jane's in Zhuhai, CETC deputy general manager and senior
 engineer Hong Yuning said the company will: "initially source some of 
its avionics and equipment from third-party suppliers", but asserted 
that it will be capable of producing the full range of mission systems 
"in the near future". 
 
IHS Jane's understands from Hong that the DA42 MPP Guardian will be 
manufactured at a new 60 km 2 purpose-built facility in Wuhu city - 
located in the eastern province of Anhui - by a newly established 
business unit called the CETC Wuhu Diamond Aircraft Manufacture Co Ltd. 
The new facility will also produce DV20E Katana two-seat light aircraft 
for civilian and government purposes. 
 
According to Hong, the new business unit was incorporated in December 2013 under a joint venture between the CETC and Wuhu city. 
 
"The new plant will be ready by 2015, and we expect production of the 
new aircraft to commence by 2016," he said. "We are also aiming to 
produce up to 400 aircraft annually." 
 
He also revealed that the company has also teamed up with Austrian 
aero-engine producer Austro Engine GmbH to produce a range of propulsion
 systems, including the 168 hp AE300 turboprop engines for the DA42 MPP 
Guardian, under licence at its Wuhu plant.

Claims That Secret Malware In European Network Traced To NSA And GCHQ

Complex malware known as Regin is the suspected technology behind 
sophisticated cyberattacks conducted by U.S. and British intelligence 
agencies on the European Union and a Belgian telecommunications company,
 according to security industry sources and technical analysis conducted
 by The Intercept.

Regin was found on infected internal computer systems and email 
servers at Belgacom, a partly state-owned Belgian phone and internet 
provider, following reports last year that the company was targeted in a
 top-secret surveillance operation carried out by British spy agency 
Government Communications Headquarters, industry sources told The 
Intercept.

The malware, which steals data from infected systems and disguises 
itself as legitimate Microsoft software, has also been identified on the
 same European Union computer systems that were targeted for 
surveillance by the National Security Agency.

The hacking operations against Belgacom and the European Union were 
first revealed last year through documents leaked by NSA whistleblower 
Edward Snowden. The specific malware used in the attacks has never been 
disclosed, however.

The Regin malware, whose existence was first reported by the security
 firm Symantec on Sunday, is among the most sophisticated ever 
discovered by researchers. Symantec compared Regin to Stuxnet, a 
state-sponsored malware program developed by the U.S. and Israel to 
sabotage computers at an Iranian nuclear facility. Sources familiar with
 internal investigations at Belgacom and the European Union have 
confirmed to The Intercept that the Regin malware was found on their 
systems after they were compromised, linking the spy tool to the secret 
GCHQ and NSA operations.

Ronald Prins, a security expert whose company Fox IT was hired to 
remove the malware from Belgacom’s networks, told The Intercept that it 
was “the most sophisticated malware” he had ever studied.

“Having analyzed this malware and looked at the [previously 
published] Snowden documents,” Prins said, “I’m convinced Regin is used 
by British and American intelligence services.”

A spokesman for Belgacom declined to comment specifically about the 
Regin revelations, but said that the company had shared “every element 
about the attack” with a federal prosecutor in Belgium who is conducting
 a criminal investigation into the intrusion. “It’s impossible for us to
 comment on this,” said Jan Margot, a spokesman for Belgacom. “It’s 
always been clear to us the malware was highly sophisticated, but ever 
since the clean-up this whole story belongs to the past for us.”

In a hacking mission codenamed Operation Socialist, GCHQ gained 
access to Belgacom’s internal systems in 2010 by targeting engineers at 
the company. The agency secretly installed so-called malware “implants” 
on the employees’ computers by sending their internet connection to a 
fake LinkedIn page. The malicious LinkedIn page launched a malware 
attack, infecting the employees’ computers and giving the spies total 
control of their systems, allowing GCHQ to get deep inside Belgacom’s 
networks to steal data.

The implants allowed GCHQ to conduct surveillance of internal 
Belgacom company communications and gave British spies the ability to 
gather data from the company’s network and customers, which include the 
European Commission, the European Parliament, and the European Council. 
The software implants used in this case were part of the suite of 
malware now known as Regin.

One of the keys to Regin is its stealth: To avoid detection and 
frustrate analysis, malware used in such operations frequently adhere to
 a modular design. This involves the deployment of the malware in 
stages, making it more difficult to analyze and mitigating certain risks
 of being caught.

Based on an analysis of the malware samples, Regin appears to have 
been developed over the course of more than a decade; The Intercept has 
identified traces of its components dating back as far as 2003. Regin 
was mentioned at a recent Hack.lu conference in Luxembourg, and 
Symantec’s report on Sunday said the firm had identified Regin on 
infected systems operated by private companies, government entities, and
 research institutes in countries such as Russia, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, 
Ireland, Belgium, and Iran.

The use of hacking techniques and malware in state-sponsored 
espionage has been publicly documented over the last few years: China 
has been linked to extensive cyber espionage, and recently the Russian 
government was also alleged to have been behind a cyber attack on the 
White House. Regin further demonstrates that Western intelligence 
agencies are also involved in covert cyberespionage.

GCHQ declined to comment for this story. The agency issued its 
standard response to inquiries, saying that “it is longstanding policy 
that we do not comment on intelligence matters” and “all of GCHQ’s work 
is carried out in accordance with a strict legal and policy framework, 
which ensures that our activities are authorised, necessary and 
proportionate.”

The NSA said in a statement, “We are not going to comment on The Intercept’s speculation.”

The Intercept has obtained samples of the malware from sources in the
 security community and is making it available for public download in an
 effort to encourage further research and analysis. What follows is a 
brief technical analysis of Regin conducted by The Intercept’s computer 
security staff. Regin is an extremely complex, multi-faceted piece of 
work and this is by no means a definitive analysis.

In the coming weeks, The Intercept will publish more details about 
Regin and the infiltration of Belgacom as part of an investigation in 
partnership with Belgian and Dutch newspapers De Standaard and NRC 
Handelsblad.

Holographic Ground Control System for Drones

Holographic Ground Control Station The Holographic Ground Control
 Station (GCS) has a large holographic display in front of the pilot 
station, so that other personnel can oversee and observe the drone 
operations. The holographic display would make it easier for non drone 
personnel to understand drone operations. It also be valuable for 
training drone operators. Wendell Minnick, at Defense News

Holographic GCS A photo of AVIC's GCS display booth. Sadly, no 
working version of the control station was present at Zhuhai 2014. The 
GCS is designed to be compatible with a wide array of UAVs. People's Daily 
 
AVIC, China's top aerospace manufacturer, is finding unexpected but 
sci-fi inspired ways to push the drone technological envelope. The 
Holographic Ground Control System (GCS) displays a holographic image of 
the drone, making it easier for the controller to intitutively 
understand UAV operations, by fusing together flight parameters, payload
 monitoring, weapons release and sensor data. The pilot is seated at the
 cockpit, while other personnel can observe the UAV and its environment 
on the hologram.

Immersive human-machine interfaces have been a staple of science fiction
 ranging from Star Trek and Star Wars to Robocop. While virtual reality 
(VR) headsets allow for individual and networked immersive experiences 
for air flight, the GCS's advantage lies in providing a holographic 
picture that multiple mission personnel, along with the UAV pilot, can 
view. This enhancement of unit situational awareness would provide a 
better picture of UAV operations and capabilities to liasion personnel 
in a joint mission like amphibious or special force assaults.

Lijian UCAV The Lijian stealth drone makes in first flight in 
Guizhou, on November 2013. The Lijian is similar to other stealth drones
 like the X-47B and Neuron, including provisions for internal weapons 
carriage and a degree of autonomous operations. 
The Lijian could operate
 from future aircraft carriers. 
 
AVIC's emphasis of combat UAV control missions for the GCS indicates 
that this system could be designed in mind not just for the WJ-1 
Pterodactyl UCAV, but also for the Lijian stealth drone. Notably, the 
GCS's ability to enable multiple persons to share the UAV pilot's 
experience would be a valuable asset in conceptualizing and conducting 
UCAV operations for Chinese aircraft carriers. By Jeffrey Lin and P.W.

China’s mysterious “Dark Sword” combat drone could become the world’s 
first supersonic unmanned aviation vehicle, reports the website of the 
country’s national broadcaster CCTV. 
 
The Dark Sword — known in Chinese as “Anjian” — made quite a stir in 
2006 when a conceptual model of the unusually shaped triangular aircraft
 made its debut at the Zhuhai Airshow in southern China’s Guangdong 
province. 
 
The model was subsequently exhibited at the Paris Air Show but has 
disappeared from future airshows, with no official word on the 
development of the UAV. Some claim the project has already been scrapped
 due to insufficient funding or other reasons, while others believe the 
development of the drone is now being kept secret as it is undergoing 
further research and testing. 
 
Chinese aviation expert Fu Qianshao told CCTV that while he does not 
know the status of the Dark Sword project, the drone could become the 
world’s first supersonic UAV if it proves a success. He said he would 
not be surprised if the project is still ongoing in secret as a lack of 
transparency is nothing new for the aviation industry and is an approach
 commonly taken by the Americans. 
 
Fu believes even conceptual models of aircraft can reveal something 
about a country’s technology and the quality of its research and 
development, adding that analyzing models at Zhuhai can allow experts to
 gauge the pulse of China’s aviation industry and pick up data that may 
be more valuable than what the developers are leaking out to the public. 
 
Fu said he was excited by the appearance of the US Air Force’s C-17 
Globemaster III large military transport aircraft at Zhuhai this year 
because it demonstrates that China’s aviation industry has reached a 
certain level. 
 
There have been many arms manufacturers from Europe who want to exhibit 
their products at Zhuhai but have been unable due to arms embargoes, Fu 
said. These countries are desperate to show off their products in the 
hope that China or other countries will buy them because domestic demand
 alone is insufficient to sustain production, he added. 
 
While air shows provide a platform to display new aviation products, the
 most advanced weapons and core technologies of other countries cannot 
be easily bought, Fu said, adding that if China wants to become one of 
the world leaders in the aviation industry it must develop its own 
technologies.

Spy Anna Chapman has made a video on an elite Russian tank division - 
4th Guards Kantemirovskaya tank division in which she learnt how to 
march, use unarmed combat skills, and fire a Kalashnikov assault rifle 
in a documentary for Russia’s REN-TV television channel.

The video showcases how army life has improved under funding boost by Mr Putin.

“It’s almost 6 a.m. and 3,000 handsome men are still sleeping,” Chapman 
says in the video made for Russian Ren TV. “I am very lucky to be at the
 heart of my motherland’s army. It’s a very special day for me.”Entering
 the canteen, she exclaims that she almost forgot she was in a canteen, 
saying the provision of food makes it seem like “a restaurant.” 
 
Anna Chapman sent to train with troops suspected of aiding Ukrainian rebels.

CIA EARNS 50 BILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY from AFGHAN OPIUM TRADE

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
 
Is the real reason President Obama would like to keep U.S. troops 
in Afghanistan until 2024 to allow the CIA to cash in on its $50 billion 
annual opium crop? 
When the Taliban ruled Pakistan, it suppressed the opium trade.  
It is indisputable this situation radically worsened after the U.S. invaded. 
 
 
 
Professor Michel Chossudovsky of Global Research, Montreal, wrote: 
 "The Taliban prohibition had indeed caused the beginning of a heroin shortage in 
Europe by the end of 2001." 
After the October 2001 invasion, though, opium prices spiraled. By early 2002, the opium 
price was almost 10 times higher than in 2000. There was money to be 
made.Indeed, noted Canadian journalist Eric Walberg wrote in his "Postmodern Imperialism"(Clarity): "Within two years of the CIA operation in Afghanistan,the Pakistan-Afghanistan borderlands became the world's top heroin producer." 
Hewrites, "opium production has increased 33 fold from 185 tons in 2001 
to 6100 tons in 2006. In 2007, Afghanistan provided approximately 93% of 
the global supply of heroin"" If the Central Intelligence Agency was not involved fang-and-claw in the Afghan drug 
trade it would be acting out of character. The CIA's history of dope 
peddling is well documented. The practice yielded tidy sums the CIA 
could spend at will, without going to Congress. 
Keep in mind, too, that President Obama,a former CIA payoller, said when the 
CIA asked to expand the drone bomber fleet, "The CIA gets what the CIA 
wants." His relationship with the Agency is more than cozy. 
In the Fifties, writes William Blum in "Rogue State" (Common Courage 
Press), the CIA organized defeated Chinese Nationalist troops in Burma 
to wage war against Red China. The Agency closed its eyes to the fact 
the soldiers "were becoming the opium barons of The Golden Triangle," 
(parts of Burma, Thailand, and Laos.) The CIA's private Air America, 
"flew the drugs all over Southeast Asia, to sites where the opium was 
processed into heroin, and to trans-shipment points on the route to 
Western customers," Blum reported. 
Former Rep. Ron Paul (R.-Tex.), according to the "Huffington Post, told a gathering 
of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, that the 
CIA was involved in trafficking drugs as part of the Iran-Contra 
debacle. Drug trafficking is "a gold mine for 
people who want to raise money in the underground government in order to 
finance projects that they can't get legitimately," Rep. Paul claimed. 
"It is very clear that the CIA has been very much involved with drug 
dealings," the Huffington Post quotes him as saying. 
Paul said: "The CIA was very much involved in the Iran-Contra scandals. I'm 
not making up the stories; we saw it on television. They were hauling 
down weapons and drugs back. And the CIA and government officials were 
closing their eyes, fighting a war that was technically illegal," Paul said. 
In an interview on RT television on 
August 20, 2009, Russian General Mahmut Gareev, a former commander in 
the Russian invasion of Afghanistan, said, "The U.S. is not going to 
stop production of drugs in Afghanistan as it covers the costs of its 
military presence there." 
Gareev added, "I don't make anything up. Americans themselves admit that drugs are often transported out of Afghanistan on American planes. Drug trafficking in 
Afghanistan brings them about 50 billion dollars a year -- which fully 
covers the expenses tied to keeping their troops there." 
The general asserted, "They (the Americans) engage in military action only 
when they are attacked. They don't have any planned military action to 
eliminate the Mujahideen." 
The general's observation may go a long way to explain why the U.S. defeated Italy, 
Germany and Japan in World War II in just three and a half years while 
it has so far spent 12 years in comparatively tiny (30-million people) 
Afghanistan and can eke out no "victory." 
Is it possible the U.S. has no intention of "winning" the War in 
Afghanistan? But instead sees it as a profit-center for milking the opium crop? Put that in your pipe and smoke it. 
 The United States Criminals In Action (CIA) has been involved in several
 drug trafficking operations. Often, the CIA worked with groups which it
 knew were involved in drug trafficking, so that these groups would 
provide them with useful intelligence and material support, in exchange 
for allowing their criminal activities to continue, and impeding or 
preventing their arrest, indictment, and imprisonment by U.S. law 
enforcement agencies 
 
CIA and Kuomintang (KMT) opium smuggling operations

In order to provide covert funds for the Kuomintang (KMT) forces loyal 
to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek, who were fighting the Chinese 
communists under Mao, the CIA helped the KMT smuggle opium from China 
and Burma to Bangkok, Thailand, by providing airplanes owned by one of 
their front businesses, Air America. 
 Historian Alfred W. McCoy stated that:
 
"In most cases, the CIA's role involved various forms of complicity, 
tolerance or studied ignorance about the trade, not any direct 
culpability in the actual trafficking ... [t]he CIA did not handle 
heroin, but it did provide its drug-lord allies with transport, arms, 
and political protection. In sum, the CIA's role in the Southeast Asian 
heroin trade involved indirect complicity rather than direct 
culpability." Mexico 
 According to Peter Dale Scott, the Dirección Federal de Seguridad was in
 part a CIA creation, and "the CIA's closest government allies were for 
years in the DFS". DFS badges, "handed out to top-level Mexican 
drug-traffickers, have been labelled by DEA agents a virtual 'license to
 traffic.'" Scott says that "The Guadalajara Cartel, Mexico's most 
powerful drug-trafficking network in the early 1980s, prospered largely 
because it enjoyed the protection of the DFS, under its chief Miguel 
Nassar (or Nazar) Haro, a CIA asset." 
 
Iran Contra Affair Main article: CIA and Contras cocaine trafficking in the US

Released on April 13, 1989, the Kerry Committee report concluded that 
members of the U.S. State Department "who provided support for the 
Contras were involved in drug trafficking...and elements of the Contras 
themselves knowingly received financial and material assistance from 
drug traffickers." 
 
In 1996 Gary Webb wrote a series of articles published in the San Jose 
Mercury News, which investigated Nicaraguans linked to the CIA-backed 
Contras who had smuggled cocaine into the U.S. which was then 
distributed as crack cocaine into Los Angeles and funneled profits to 
the Contras. The CIA was aware of the cocaine transactions and the large
 shipments of drugs into the U.S. by the Contra personnel and directly 
aided drug dealers to raise money for the Contras. 
 In 1996 CIA Director John M. Deutch went to Los Angeles to attempt to 
refute the allegations raised by the Gary Webb articles, and was 
famously confronted by former LAPD officer Michael Ruppert, who 
testified that he had witnessed it occurring. 
 
Venezuelan National Guard Affair 
The CIA - in spite of objections from the Drug Enforcement 
Administration, allowed at least one ton of nearly pure cocaine to be 
shipped into Miami International Airport. The CIA claimed to have done 
this as a way of gathering information about Colombian drug cartels. 
But
 the cocaine ended up being sold on the street
In November 1996 a Miami jury indicted former Venezuelan anti-narcotics 
chief and longtime CIA asset, General Ramon Guillen Davila, who was 
smuggling many tons of cocaine into the United States from a Venezuelan 
warehouse owned by the CIA. In his trial defense, Guillen claimed that 
all of his drug smuggling operations were approved by the CIA
 
 
Haiti

According to unnamed sources in the mid 1980s, the CIA created a unit in
 Haiti, whose purported purpose was anti-drug activity, but was in 
reality "used as an instrument of political terror", and was heavily 
involved in drug trafficking. The members of the unit were known to 
torture Aristide supporters, and threatened to kill the local head of 
the DEA. According to one U.S. official, the unit was trafficking drugs 
and never produced any useful drug intelligence. 
 
Panama The U.S. military invasion of Panama after which dictator Manuel Noriega was captured. 
In 1989, the United States invaded Panama as part of Operation Just 
Cause, which involved 25,000 American troops. Gen. Manuel Noriega, head 
of government of Panama, had been giving military assistance to Contra 
groups in Nicaragua at the request of the U.S.-which, in exchange, 
allowed him to continue his drug-trafficking activities-which they had 
known about since the 1960s. When the DEA tried to indict 
Noriega in 1971, the CIA prevented them from doing so.[The CIA, 
which was then directed by future president George H. W. Bush, provided 
Noriega with hundreds of thousands of dollars per year as payment for 
his work in Latin America.[ However, when CIA pilot Eugene Hasenfus 
was shot down over Nicaragua by the Sandinistas, documents aboard the 
plane revealed many of the CIA's activities in Latin America, and the 
CIA's connections with Noriega became a public relations "liability" for
 the U.S. government, which finally allowed the DEA to indict him for 
drug trafficking, after decades of allowing his drug operations to 
proceed unchecked.Operation Just Cause, whose ostensible purpose 
was to capture Noriega, pushed the former Panamanian leader back into 
the town asylum along with Papal Nuncio where he surrendered to U.S. 
authorities. His trial took place in Miami, where he was sentenced to 45
 years in prison.

Currently, the largest and most powerful helicopter to have ever entered
 production is the gargantuan Mi-26 'Halo' of Russian origin, of which 
many still serve in governmental and commercial roles around the globe. 
After decades of the 'Halo' being on top, a new record holder is now 
said to be on the way, with Russia and China joining forces to make it 
happen.

This new super-heavy lift class chopper was originally thought to be an 
outgrowth of the existing, all-weather capable and highly modernized 
Mi-26T2, but now it seems that it will only borrow a few elements from 
it, and will overwhelmingly be a 'clean sheet' design. 
 
The fresh design approach is due to China's eye popping requirements. 
According to Russia, they are said to include almost twice the lifting 
capacity of the already freakishly powerful and huge Mi-26. That would 
put the new chopper's lifting ability at somewhere around 80,000lbs! In 
comparison, the CH-53K 'King Stallion,' America's latest heavy lift design, has a total gross weight just slightly above that figure at 88,000lbs.</blockquote>

You heard that right, this new Russian-Chinese super chopper is aiming 
to be able to lift roughly the equivalent of America's newest heavy-lift
 chopper in its entirety, at its maximum gross weight. That is one 
powerful helicopter. 
 
Originally, this new Russian-Chinese design was thought to be an 
outgrowth of the Mi-26T2, although this is now inaccurate as Chinese 
performance demands are far outside any existing designs' theoretical 
capabilities.

The Mi-26 can already haul vehicles that are larger than what can fit 
even into a C-130 Hercules, including everything from armored personnel 
carriers to dump trucks. Yet China has had a uniquely large demand for 
heavy under-slung cargo carrying ability, for both construction and 
logistical purposes and there has been talk for the last decade or two 
about how a super-heavy lift helicopter could change the way some 
structures are built. This is especially true for <a class="externalLink" href="http://youtu.be/rwvmru5JmXk" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">modular vertical oriented structures that are intended to be built fast and replicated quickly</a>, an area of architecture and construction that China continues to be the leader in. 
<blockquote class="messageText ugc baseHtml">
 
Just part of the massive cargo hold of the Mi-26T2. The aircraft has been nicknamed the 'flying office building' for a reason.

According to Russian reports, multiple Chinese agencies are part of this
 new mega-chopper procurement program, including those that deal with 
emergency management and response. This makes some sense as during a 
natural disaster, or even a time of conflict, moving massive amounts of 
supplies quickly will be all that much more critical considering China's
 massive population.

The only other helicopter ever flown that could lift anything in the 
weight class that China is looking for was also of Russian origin: the 
colossal <a class="externalLink" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mil_V-12" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Mil V-12</a>.
 Only two prototypes were built and test flown in the late 1960s, and 
the design used a unique parallel/traverse rotor, quad-engine layout. At
 first, the aircraft almost tore itself apart during testing, but later,
 the second prototype was seen widely as a successful, although 
uneconomic design.

The V-12 was built to haul close to close to 100k lbs, although normal 
missions were thought to see the super-chopper carry about 85,000lbs, 
with lighter loads being carried over increasingly longer distances. 
 
The V-12 was never put into series production because its intended 
mission, to deploy ballistic missiles around the vastness of the Russian
 countryside, was not a priority by the time the design was mature. It 
is not clear if Russia plans on reviving similar design elements of the 
V12 program to meet China's high, or should I say heavy, vertical lift 
aspirations.

A cost has not been publicly assigned to the program, nor has there been
 word regarding what percentage Russia will share in the costs of 
developing such an exotic machine. Regardless of the public absence of 
some details, Russia says this new design requirements will be locked by
 the first quarter of 2015.
