“As of 2021, China’s manufacturing output was equal to that of the U.S. and all of Europe combined.”

“What’s not really in doubt here is that we’ve reached a watershed moment in the history of the global economy; the system we came to know and rely on over the past two decades is crumbling, and our leaders and thinkers need to be scrambling to plan what comes next.”

Thanks for the articles. They contain so many BS statements and dogs that did not bark that it’s clear the governments and companies involved are trying to hide things.

First, every engine that was retrieved could have been traced to whomever Rotax sold it to. But Rotax isn’t discussing that.

Also, Rotax tossed out a red herring of counterfeit engines. There is no evidence to support the existence of counterfeit engines generally, let alone in the Iranian aircraft. The same tracing that would identify a legitimate engine, would identify a counterfeit. Also, if Iran was producing engines, they would not go to the effort of counterfeiting. That would be a waste of effort. Instead, they would do the opposite and attempt to make the engines appear different so as to claim domestic development.

A similar red herring is the warning to plane owners to be on the lookout for unusually inexpensive engines. But there is no evidence for such domestic western destinations. To the contrary, the targeting of one particular engine, while ignoring accessories used by civilian aircraft, again, evidences foreign military destination.
