      The main sign of so many plane crash Su-24 on the face - they are outdated and it is time to replace them with a Su-34

        Probably not Obsolete, but rather Aged, and probably both

          Morally obsolete and have developed a resource. The pilots and the engineering staff, who were born in the year of the adoption of the Su-24, became older.

        Near the airfield. Base su-24. Every half hour over the houses fly with a roar. And if the afterburner - finally, the roar is. It happens at such a speed flies - and you do not have time to notice, you can only hear! It is dangerous, such a bird will fly into a residential building. Residents of high-rises are suing - for the second year already - to no purpose.
        Apartments in some houses on the upper floors fell in the price of units by 200 due to the constant roar. . For some reason, the military does not want to change the route. Although the business is necessary - must fly. Especially beautiful when a link? 5 pieces are flying nearby. wink

          And with whom are the residents suing? If with the command of the base or even with the Ministry of Defense, then this is silly. Surely the airfield was built much earlier than these skyscrapers, so all the questions are for those who gave the go-ahead for the construction of houses near the base and they probably made money on this, that is. to power.

            then there was still the Soviet Union and the planes didn’t fly like that (they prepared the carcasses of the civilian navigators) and less often. And right now let them fly elsewhere.

        And when new, already modified and modern cars fall, is there anything to "talk about" about? The problem is not in the obsolescence of the Su-24 (the car is good and has a large reserve for modernization and extension of the service life), but in the fact that the system of repairs, routine maintenance, pre-flight checks, and, most importantly, personnel training that has developed over the years has been disrupted! Any experienced aviator will say that the professional level of specialists (from pilots and hydraulic fracturing units to technicians and workers at ARP) has significantly decreased compared even to the mid-90s. "Cadres are everything!" - have forgotten this truth.

      As for me - this is a decrease in operational load.
      Would fly longer - professionalism would not lose.
      All, I mean, are pilots, technicians, services.
      Thank God the guys are alive .. and the piece of iron - it is the piece of iron.

      The main sign of so many plane crash Su-24 on the face

      it is obvious that aircraft crashes are a sign that they fly and fly a lot and I think that when there are as many Su-34s in the army as there are Su-24 and they will fly, then they will fall, this is inevitable, if only people did not die.

        For example, they began to fly in Chelyabinsk for the last couple of years, almost every 15 minutes. On the one hand, happy, because I remember when small was always they flew, but on the other, noisy. When it flies over the city at 11 o’clock in the evening, it’s not possible to talk, not to over-talk, or even sleep.

      it’s high time to change them, because the cars are outdated, but if they had been watched properly, and they weren’t allowed to fly cars that had to rest in scrap metal for a long time - there weren’t any accidents .......... .. and the plane is good - it’s just that its time has come to its logical conclusion, well, at least the men managed to eject — but the iron is not important!

      Equipment without proper care will always break. And these machines were lucky enough to survive the 90s .... And they are still in service.

      It is necessary to increase the flight hours of pilots, there will be less accidents.

      to fly, fly and fly again! then there will be an increase in flight training! who compared the hours of flight in NATO aviation (training courses at the academy) in our! that's the whole layout!

      Front-line bomber piloted by Colonel Gostev and Colonel Ermakov.

      it seems that the matter is still in the "hardware", it is hard to believe that the lieutenant colonel and the colonel made piloting mistakes

        Who said he was falling apart? Read my comment on that news. Most likely it was (according to the experience of the service).

      While the planes fly, they will fall. Though. Of course, I would like to. that would be less. But it is gratifying that, nevertheless, more and more fly.
      The main thing is that the guys survived. and they will make new ones and deal with the causes of the accident. IMHO.

      Judging by the information, everything happened when practicing refueling in the air (DTV) ... and this is a very complex element of flight. Few people own it perfectly. Now is not the years of the USSR when each unit commander with the rank of captain had 1st class and admission to the DTV day and night.
