("为苏35战机研制和生产引擎的联合发动机制造集团总裁马萨洛夫最近表示，在苏35战机交易中，俄罗斯仅会向中国提供标准装备配置，其中包括117S战机引擎，俄方不会按照中方提出的要求对装备做出特别改进。只有在这笔交易完成之后，俄方才会根据中国要求对苏35战机的配置升级")

(2) Nikolai Novichkov and James Hardy, Russia Ready to Supply 'Standard' Su-35s to China, Says Official. IHS Jane's Defence Weekly, Nov 25, 2014.

Note:
(a) "United Aircraft Corporation (UAC) president Mikhail Pogosyan"

Please take notice 联合发动机制造集团总裁马萨洛夫 is Vladislav MASALOV, general director of United Engine Corp.

(b) "The issue of a minimum buy is important because Russian officials believe China is really only interested in the Su-35's NIIP Irbis-E passive electronically scanned array radar and the 117S engine."
(i) History
www.niip.ru/eng/index.php?option ... p;id=1&Itemid=6
("JSC 'V.Tikhomirov Scientific Research Institute of Instrument Design' (JSC NIIP, Zhukovsky) was founded on the 1st March 1955 as a branch of Moscow Research Institute NII-17 under Ministry of Aircraft Industry. * * * Under the Decree of the Soviet Ministry of Radio Industry dated 1987 the 1st category Scientific Research Institute - Scientific Research Institute of Instrument Design (NIIP), was established under Design Office of Instrument Engineering")

My guess is the first clause indicates the full name of the company, whereas NIIP is the short form. Further, Zhukovsky is a place name near Moscow.
