engine thrust - 84.4 or 81.3?

[Napillo]

This video (@12:00) says the afterburning thrust is 84.4, wikipedia says 81.3 -- which one do we have in game? are we missing 4-5% performance?

According  to this: https://jf-17.com/engine/

its 81.3

maybe it is a confusion with the proposed Guizhou WS-13 engine, which has 86.4 kN

ts 81.3

RD-93/93MA[edit]

A variant used to power the JF-17 Thunder (FC-1). According to JF-17.com ^[5] "The most significant difference being the repositioning of the gearbox along the bottom of the engine casing." The Klimov poster at Zhuhai 2010 airshow gave the thrust range of the engine to be 49.4 kN to 84.4 kN wet.^[6] 

From Wikipedia (the RD-93 engine page which is actually the RD-33 page with a section on the RD-93).

From here: https://jf-17.com/specifications/

It says 84.4

So, wikipedia for the JF-17 showed 81.3, now it shows 84.4... just curious what the value is for the JF-17 in dcs?

Strangely, the JF-17 DCS manual says:

"Engine: 1 Klimov RD-93 turbofan engine (with afterburning thrust and DEEC)
Military: 49.4 kN (11,105 lbf)
Maximum thrust: 85.3 kN (19,180 lbf)"
