Serial deliveries of A-100 "flying radar" will begin in 2020

Serial deliveries of the newest radar patrol and A-100 guidance aircraft will begin in 2020, said Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.

At present, the flying laboratory is undergoing a series of tests and has already completed a number of flights.

- Said Shoigu at the conference call. According to him, all works are on schedule.

The complex itself will rise into the air before the end of this year.

- the minister added.

The A-100 Premier aircraft was created on the basis of the IL-76MD-90A. He is able to quickly increase the radar field in a given direction, detect and track targets, participate in the management of fighter and strike aviation and direct it at air, land and sea targets.

Recall, at the end of April, the general designer of Russia for intelligence systems and complexes, Vladimir Verba, said that the radio engineering complex of the A-100 aircraft was tested for the first time in flight. The complex is being developed to replace the A-50 and A-50U aircraft.

I saw the photo, from the beginning I thought "the tail was modernized on the TU-126."
There is a generational change. It pleases, the main thing, that would not be an emergency, but "in working mode"
Something in this photo of the refueling bar is not visible. And such a plane definitely has it.

I apologize, the Tu-126 is a turboprop (its prototype is Tu-95) ... How can I mix it up? And the bar is supposed to ...

Well, I saw the antenna, and immediately thought of the Tu-126. And then the tail is above the antenna.
And yes, it’s difficult to mix up

Well, the fact that under the strict guidance of V. Verba, the Vega Concern nearly died, I know ...
And what will happen in 2020, the story is silent about this)

[Alex777]

Yeah. The main question is how many such aircraft will be made and in what time frame.

It is stated that the Premier should replace the entire fleet of A-50 and A-50U. 15 sides of the A-50 and 4 sides of the A-50U, as of 2016. Here and count.

Is it he who we collect in Taganrog? If so, then I am afraid that the dates will need to be shifted to the right by five years for sure! !!!!

The glider is assembled, while, in Ulyanovsk ... You have a "mushroom" attached ... And then, well, we'll see. Maybe, God forbid, of course, but from the current government what to expect, TANTK will generally be closed ...

Who belongs to? I don’t know if it’s a member of the KLA or how ... But, it’s not profitable to produce (build) airplanes in Russia (obviously by those in power) ... That’s what went with ET Gaidar - we’ll buy it all! Supplemented ....

Unprofitable, because they do not buy. Do not buy, because:
- quality is lower than that of foreign
- the service network is missing from the word "completely"
You yourself can find another five reasons if you disconnect from hostility to the "powers that be."
Few want, it is necessary that there is also an opportunity (and a market need). But her, needs, and no

[FID]

Interestingly, the state-owned Aeroflot fleet is in need of aircraft? Is it a need or what? And as for the quality, it would be more detailed ... And the extreme case with the UTair a / c plane (two weeks ago, if you are not aware) - is this evidence of the BEST quality of Boeing products? And I can’t disconnect from hostility, unfortunately ...

Need. Which is easily satisfied by a Boeing, for example. Without any development (read - restoration) of the domestic aviation industry.

Quote: SSI

And about the quality in more detail ...

It will not be what I will explain to a specialist? In my personal impression (a passenger rode on both the TU-154 and the various Boeings), the Boeing is still better.

Quote: SSI

And the extreme case with the aircraft of UTair ...

Are you talking about this?

Previously, when going to the second circle with the autopilot turned off, the crew, instead of removing the flaps, allowed their release by 30 degrees. As a result, when climbing, the speed dropped sharply, the aircraft pecked and began to tumble to the right side

And I can’t disconnect from hostility, unfortunately

Everyone’s right. But at the same time, the emotional attitude distorts the picture of the world, generally speaking.
IMHO no one is against, and all are in favor. But - as about the elephant in the zoo - "he’s a ziist ... yes he’ll give him ..."

[FID]

In the cited note ... Departure for the second round is an automatic mode and the crew did not turn off the APs, and they weren’t to "release the flaps" ... These are all the "tricks" of American automation, believe me ...

I see no reason not to believe you
I think Boeing is there ... far from the first freshness ...

[Cook]

I won’t believe it. Sergey Ivanovich, why are you building a plane in vain? The mode is automatic yes, and when you press the TOGA (take off / go around) button, the engine operating mode increases to take-off and if the autopilot is connected, it will begin the departure procedure itself, but at the same time both the landing gear and the flaps, the crew removes manually, no automatic equipment this is not provided. Moreover, the care command, pressing the TOGA button and the command for the initial flap assembly, are given almost simultaneously. The crew are certainly not fools, but they are people, and they tend to make mistakes. For me there is no doubt that this is a crew mistake. Remember the disasters in Kazan and Rostov, all this is due to errors in the process of completing the withdrawal to the second round.

Hi Seryozha. He is testing. In the next two years Aeroflot will decommission 36 cars and increase its fleet by 104.
They will introduce the new long-range A350 (or convert the order of A330), the Boeing "three clubs", and narrow-body watermelons, bobiki and the long-suffering Superjet.

Seryozha regarding automation ....
Last March. In the process of starting the engines, the “air start” banner lights up, the crew podpofigov from such a development of the situation begins to convulsively lull instructions and click buttons. After that, the system freezes and sends everyone down. As a result, flashing for several hours, and good thing was on earth!

Included in the PJSC "UAC", they live only thanks to the Be-200 and then barely

He is already out of date to launch in the series

[Bronevick]

What does serial delivery mean? They are planned to build a total of 6 pieces.

[rruvim]

According to the A-100, Vega began to work back in 2014. The carrier IL-76MD-90A is already on the go, the whole question is in the "filling from VEGA." Now it turns out only in 2020, mass production will begin. That is, by 2025 we will get 5 aircraft (according to the experience of modernizing the A-50 in the A-50U, by plane per year). By 2035 - 15 pieces. I will not live. And “Vega” can and in general this whole project “phrt”, as it did with the state program for drones for 7 billion.
By A-100: "But in reality? For more than ten years, Vega has not issued a new A-100 long-range radar detection and control aircraft (AWACS) to a customer in iron, designed to replace the previous A-50 model. It is known that not a single vital device of the new intelligence complex is really working yet. Moreover, a source in the Russian Ministry of Defense believes that the A-100 project managed to become obsolete during its implementation, as they tried to implement technical principles and systems in the early 90s of the last century. One of the possible options is a complete redesign of the complex, which essentially means writing off previously spent funds (a total of close to 7 billion rubles) and allocating new ones. And also the definition of new terms of work, which will delay the appearance of a new domestic AWACS system for another ten years. The funniest thing, in February, V. Verba approximately in this spirit and reported the result of the project to the Minister of Defense Sergey Shoigu - just a month after the victorious reports to the Deputy Prime Minister for Defense!

WUA 518,

The crew does not enter the flight plan into the FMS from the laptop, but manually using the procedure according to which one uses the paper form of the flight plan to enter data into his system, the second controls it. Then, on the contrary, the second one brings it into his system, and the first one controls it. If the aircraft is equipped with a third FMS, then data from the captain's system merges there. This is if according to the classics, but in fact in an airplane computer, as a rule, there are already company-specific routes previously entered there, and at the same time you just have to choose the one you need, check the paper plan and activate it using the above procedure.

[FID]

This is if a short and short flight .... And if it is trans .... and mass of air and other obstacles? By the way, by small and short, I mean European movements .... You try to manually enter a flight from, for example, Schiphol to Pudong (Shanghai) through Russia, taking into account cyclones and other nonsense ....
