Yeah, waiting to see if the current iteration of PD-14 engine[0] is finally up to the task. Two years ago UAC tested them and found to be in the need of improvement.

Yep... it is hard to build a competitive jet engine.

If the Russians manage to do this, it would be another example of the stupidity of the sanctions.

I bet COMAC is cheering them on too.
