... or, two can play the game. Sanctioning Russia is akin to shooting oneself in the foot. And this is precisely what EU did. Note, the most important part of the modern jet engine are blades, not just fan blades, however important, or cold part blades (compressor), but the blades of the hot part of the engine, that is turbine.
Translation: NOVOSIBIRSK, December 3. /TASS/. Specialists from the Institute of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (ITPM) SB RAS in Novosibirsk have developed a technology for restoring blades for Airbus and Boeing aircraft engines. It will begin to be used at the Berdsk Electromechanical Plant (BEMZ) before the end of 2024, the scientific director of the institute, academician Vasily Fomin, told TASS. According to him, to solve this problem, S7 airline built two factories in less than a year and received the appropriate permits. Meanwhile, Chairman of the SB RAS Valentin Parmon clarified that for this purpose the BEMZ, located near Novosibirsk, was acquired. “We must give our technology to [BEMZ]. <...> I think that he will start [using it] at the end of next year, if not in the middle. <...> We have already figured out what material is being used, already We have selected our material that is close to this, and we are already spraying Russian material,” Fomin said in an interview with TASS, noting that prototypes are already ready. The technology makes it possible to restore burnt and cracked blades for Airbus and Boeing aircraft engines. This is necessary because sanctions pressure makes it difficult to service them from abroad. According to Fomin, the production of engine blades in Russia is not intended for these aircraft, so it was necessary to pay attention to their restoration.
These guys, evidently, forgot who they were sanctioning. A simple logical, causality hint: nation which built half of the International Space Station, serially produces state-of-the-art PD-14 turbofans and flies Su-57s undoubtedly has the expertise and industrial capability to not only maintain critical parts (Tier One Flight Critical level) of foreign aircraft, but if need be reverse-engineer them, not that Russia needs to do that with MC-21 already flying. It is always the same shit with the West--US sabotages composites from MC-21 wing, Russia built a whole new composite industry.
