RD-704 has been shelved since the dissolution of the USSR into the CIS and other countries.
RD-0146D was developed and tested and new versions are being developed and the family now just awaits there assigned stages flight hardware to be built.
RD-0162 is stalled with no recent progress that I'm aware of so far.
RD-0164 is stalled with no recent progress that I'm aware of so far.

Well is a shame they don't invest in the engine RD-704 could be used in a future spacecraft...

And the RD-0146D that hardware will be used for the Angara rockets u other new?

There are at least 3 configurations of HydroLOX cryogenic engine from RD-0146 family:
- non-restartable engine suitable for a rocket stage
- restartable engine thrust 7500 kgf suitable for KVTK orbital stage (space tug)   
- restartable engine thrust 10000 kgf suitable for KVSTK orbital stage (space tug)

US wants to buy new rocket engines RD-181M from Russia.

MOSCOW, July 16 - RIA Novosti. The Roscosmos enterprise, NPO Energomash , was allowed to negotiate with the American company Orbital Sciences on the supply of RD-181M rocket engines to the States . The government decree was published on the official portal of legal information.

The proposal was made earlier by Roscosmos. They want to use the RD-181M liquid-propellant rocket engine in the Antares launch vehicle, which delivers cargo to the International Space Station and launches research and commercial spacecraft.

As noted in the order, a contract for the supply of a new engine can be concluded if a number of conditions are met: including after receiving guarantees from the American side that Antares missiles with Russian engines will not be used "to launch military payloads."

There is no information on the RD-181M engine on the Energomash website.

Previously, Russia supplied the United States with two engines - RD-180 and RD-181. The RD-180 engine is used in the first stage of the Atlas-5 rocket. In total, according to Energomash, 122 engines have been sent to the States since 1999, of which 93 have already been used.

The last batch of Russian RD-180 rocket engines was delivered to the United States in April. Washington told RIA Novosti that it intends to end the operation of Atlas missiles with RD-180s in the mid-2020s. To replace Atlas, they create a Vulcan rocket with American BE-4 engines from Blue Origin.

The RD-181 engine is placed on the first stage of the Antares rocket (two each). In total, 22 engines have been delivered to the United States since 2015, of which 18 have already been used.

[Re: RD-124MS engine]

There really isn't a general Russian rocket engine thread and having a hard time finding any so here is another one.

https://nauka.tass.ru/nauka/11510445

The new rocket engine was able to work on tests for more than 3 thousand seconds, which is a record figure. This was announced by the chief designer of JSC "KB Khimavtomatiki" Viktor Gorokhov on the air of the program "Military acceptance" on the TV channel "Zvezda".

"We conducted such a duration of testing, and the engine worked not only 750 seconds in one start, but worked for more than 3 thousand seconds," Gorokhov said.

According to him, the new product is arranged according to a closed circuit, which makes it the most economical in the world among all oxygen-kerosene engines.

At the moment, at the first stages of rockets when launched into space, the engines work for about 140 seconds, and the resource tests of the engines of the third stages of the rockets usually do not last more than 280 seconds.

JSC "Design Bureau of Chemical Automation" is located in Voronezh and is the developer of rocket engines for the second and third stages of most domestic space launch vehicles, including the design bureau is engaged in the development of the RD0124 MS engine for the second stage of the promising Soyuz-5 rocket.

There is a lot of information I want to dump like their Venus sphere helicopter drone project, etc. Can there just be a general Russian news thread?

The RD-0162 and RD-1064 engines will be used to power the core stages of the Soyuz-5/Irtysh and Soyuz-7 rockets.

Russian RD-181 engines ensured the launch of the American spacecraft Cygnus

21.02.202211:26

On Saturday, February 19, 2022, at 20:40 Moscow time, the Antares 230+ launch vehicle with the Cygnus robotic spacecraft launched from the Wallops Cosmodrome. The successful launch of the carrier was ensured by the RD-181 engines, which worked on the first stage of the rocket, developed and produced at the Energomash Research and Production Association named after Academician V.P. Glushko (part of the Roscosmos State Corporation)

The Cygnus spacecraft will deliver more than 3.7 tons of cargo to the International Space Station to support the life of the station crew, as well as equipment and materials for scientific research. It is planned that the cargo ship will arrive at the orbital station on February 21.

RD-181 is a single-chamber liquid-propellant rocket engine with a vertically located turbopump unit.

Liquid propellant rocket engine with afterburning of oxidizing gas
Fuel: oxygen + kerosene
Engine modifications   RD-181
Development period   2014-2015

This is wrong, Soyuz 5 will use RD-171MV rocket engine.

The RD-0162 and RD-1064 engines will be used for Soyuz-SPG (Amur-SPG) launch which is a politically directed alternative project. Upon the termination of the Zenit family its successor family was assigned the the designation Soyuz-5. The Methlox launcher was stripped of a numerical designation when Zenit successor was ordered.

Are RD-107 and RD-108 (R7- through Soyuz) acceptance test fired?
I understand that the Soyuz hold mechanism won't let got until good engines are determined.

Reason for question:
I was building an Apex 1:144 model of Sputnik and in my research noted that Soyuz engines look brand new.

Examples at https://www.nasa.gov/content/soyuz-images and attached.

Are RD-107 and RD-108 (R7- through Soyuz) acceptance test fired?

No. They were in the sixties, but it is no longer the case since then.

With permission from a message:

........Snip......
I visited NII KhimMach some years ago near Serguiev Possad in Russia. This is the place where the engines were tested. I remember the guys told me that they tested the first 500 engines (that would mean, the first 100 launches) before considering they were reliable enough...

Yuri Borisov discussed with the Governor of the Perm Territory the serial production of engines for the Angara

08/15/202213:42

A working meeting between Yury Borisov, Director General of Roscosmos State Corporation, and Dmitry Makhonin, Governor of the Perm Territory, took place at the site of the Army-2022 International Military-Technical Forum, which opened in Kubinka, Moscow Region.
The parties discussed the current issues of development of the Perm enterprise "Proton-PM" and the Research and Production Association "Iskra" (part of Roskosmos).

At the Proton-PM site, which is part of the Novy Zvezdny technopolis, an investment project is being implemented to launch mass production of RD-191 engines and its modifications for launch vehicles of the Angara family.

The creation and serial production of the RD-191 engine and other promising liquid rocket engines is a key project of the Technopolis New Star cluster, initiated by Proton-PM in 2012. The idea of ​​synchronous development of production and territory was supported by the President of Russia Vladimir Putin, and the technopolis was among the 25 pilot innovative territorial clusters approved by the Government of Russia.

The construction readiness of the new Proton-PM building, where the engines will be assembled, is more than 80 percent. Already this year, the company plans to work out the technology for assembling the engine, and in 2023 - to put a new building into operation.

In addition, the parties discussed the development of the social infrastructure of the Novye Lyady microdistrict, where the company's employees live. It was noted the use of modern approaches to the organization of a comfortable space for living and the use of "smart" technologies in the implementation of projects for the integrated development of the cluster territory.

The Novye Lyady microdistrict is a worthy indicator of the successful application of high technologies in the Perm Territory, which turns 300 next year.
