The "product 177S" engine boasts a thrust of 142 kN and features an afterburner and stealth-optimized characteristics.

If the "product 177S" receives a flat nozzle, it will reduce the effective scattering area (RCS) of the aircraft and its infrared signature by changing the characteristics of the exhaust plume.

The two-dimensional design dissipates heat more efficiently and aligns the flow of gases with the aircraft's body, minimizing the possibility of its detection by enemy sensors.

In terms of technical characteristics, the 177S engine corresponds to the previous generation. At the same time, its thrust has been increased to 14.5 tons, which is 2 tons more than the previous generation. The engine's time between overhauls is 1 500 hours, and its assigned life is 6 000 hours.

Earlier, www1.ru reported that the Akhmat armored vehicle survived attacks by seven kamikaze drones and drove to the rear on three wheels.
