Modernization of the Su-34 bomber will start from 2018, Interfax reports, citing a source in the aviation industry.

Development work was carried out on the Su-34, including the adaptation to the new bomber aviation means of destruction. From 2018 it is planned to start directly modernizing aircraft
- writes the edition



Su-34 modernization will begin in 2018 year


The newspaper notes that the combat capabilities of the upgraded aircraft will be expanded compared with the basic version.

Earlier, Deputy Defense Minister Yuri Borisov said that the modernization of the Su-34 front-line bomber will be carried out by the Novosibirsk Aviation Plant named after him. Chkalov.

We discussed with the management of the plant and the United Aircraft Building Corporation plans of work on the aircraft in the framework of the future state armament program for 2018-2025 years
- said Yu.Borisov when visiting the company.

Currently, the Novosibirsk Aviation Plant produces the Su-34 as standard. Every year, the Russian Aerospace Forces get armed with 16-18 front-line bombers.

Serial production of the Su-34 began in April 2005. In 2008, a five-year contract was signed for the supply of X-NUMX Su-32 aircraft to Russia. Later in 34, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation signed another contract for the purchase of 2012 machines of this type. Earlier it was reported that the entire Ministry of Defense plans to purchase about 92 front-line bombers Su-200, which are well established during the Syrian campaign.

      200 aircraft SU-34 is normal, just right. And there you look and a new attack aircraft is bungled. And all other functions, easily overlaps the SU-30 and after, when launched into the MIG-35 series, since all this is MFI ...

        But aren't Su-34 MFIs? as for me it’s a much better MFI than the ones mentioned above, and if it was brought to mind by making it easier due to composites, make stealth like the t-50, put the thrust vector and add internal volume under the tanks \ bk, sprinkle the radar on top to the full scope , then we get an airplane that will override the functions of most of the modern high-speed aircraft in the aerospace complex. Well, let it be not as fast as the t-50, but it will cover this drawback with better radars and long-range missiles. It may not be as maneuverable as the T-50 (even with all the changes), but due to the spherical radar and the weapons operator it will be able to launch missiles in close combat not only forward but also sideways and backward, and several targets at a time. But it will be possible to launch a truly MASS production, and thereby reduce the cost. And the issue of training will be simplified, there will be no need to do "training."

                The fact of the matter is that all the Tu-22s were seized from the Navy and now the fleet has only su-24 left and only a few of them, so there is a need to strengthen the fleet’s aviation with such aircraft as su-34.

          And on that one, while there is no refueling bar on the Tu-22, a lot of what the Duckling would have to do, and the work on the battlefield, to protect naval bases, support on coastal lines and amphibious landings, will fall exactly on him ...

                Yeah ... that is, you are an adherent of old strategies and tactics, as I understand it ... nothing, that this, as you put it, highly specialized machine is also multi-purpose? At the same time, working at much lower altitudes, the loss of such a machine is not a loss of, say, the same SU-25. You miss one moment, that for several years work has been ongoing on a new attack aircraft, which will take on the very “specialized” functions that the SU-30th lacks. And to stretch the line of multi-purpose heavy platforms to blue color is something that can come out sideways. I'm not saying what a buzz for techies such a variety is practically on the tasks of the same platforms. And God forbid, what happens, what shall we do? Again, the same rake as with history during the Second World War with armored vehicles to attack with all the passion?

And there is a bomb drop, which the SU-25 copes well with. Su-34 is essentially a temporary measure. The newly created attack aircraft will go into the niche of the stormtroopers, and the SU-30 and SU-35 will go into the niche of long-range countermeasures, and subsequently the MIG-35.

    Well, they’ve been talking about this for about a year, it seems like SU34M1 should go. in short, our terrible “Duckling” will become a “Utkosaurus”. nice however. kmtti, since the modernization potential of 34ki is considered large, further development is expected: M2.

      Of course it’s tragic. but before we had to think. now it seems ours wants to take control of a ten-kilometer zone of the base. the Syrians could not cope. I confessed that we had done this a long time ago, it turns out not, the Syrians were blocking this critical diamert.

        I also didn’t understand. Before the holidays, there is always increased combat readiness, and even in Russia. Guards, duty forces, etc. are being strengthened, how did the Syrians give a tactically dangerous perimeter? They’re the warriors for the same. $ 100 and go whoever wants to, but Our 10-kilometer zone will not be able to block. Technicians and people are not enough. Why did they withdraw the MTR and intelligence? Or something in the plans of the Supreme? We are losing people. The flaw is tragic.

          You are too critical. This is a war, and here everything can be completely not saved from everything. As the saying goes, “If I knew where I would fall, I would lay the straw.” The airbase is in full view of everyone and the enemy has learned a lot and thought out how to fire it, but when you are in sight and the enemy is not visible, no one knows which side to expect the strike from. You will never hide anything for 100% and this is not only with us Russians, but also all over the world - there is no ideal except to protect the top officials of the state.
          This reminds me of a grouchy old woman criticizing everything and everyone like: - "The adversaries have thrown cigarette butts past the ballot box and where the police are looking."

      It’s too early to retire - production has been going on since 2005, that is, the oldest are now only 12 years old, and this is the oldest, because they arrived in small batches. A modern aircraft should serve at least several decades.

    Quote: ProkletyiPirat
    But aren't Su-34 MFIs? as for me it’s a much better MFI than the ones mentioned above, and if it was brought to mind by making it easier due to composites, make stealth like the t-50, put the thrust vector and add internal volume under the tanks \ bk, sprinkle the radar on top to the full scope , then we get an airplane that will override the functions of most of the modern high-speed aircraft in the aerospace complex. Well, let it be not as fast as the t-50, but it will cover this drawback with better radars and long-range missiles. It may not be as maneuverable as the T-50 (even with all the changes), but due to the spherical radar and the weapons operator it will be able to launch missiles in close combat not only forward but also sideways and backward, and several targets at a time. But it will be possible to launch a truly MASS production, and thereby reduce the cost. And the issue of training will be simplified, there will be no need to do "training."

    It's just that such a plane will be too expensive and, accordingly, will not be massive.

    Modification M2 is no longer there. Written off. As there is no naval aviation. A few years ago, MRA was removed from the fleets. there are several dozen flight M3s and all of them are part of the land component.

    Quote: NEXUS
    Do you understand the difference in tasks and opportunities? Bramos under the SU-30 is very good, this is one task, to destroy the adversary at a distance. And there is a bomb drop, which the SU-25 copes well with. Su-34 is essentially a temporary measure. The newly created attack aircraft will go into the niche of the stormtroopers, and the SU-30 and SU-35 will go into the niche of long-range countermeasures, and subsequently the MIG-35.

    Andrei! You are not quite right. Under the SU-30 "Bramos" can be suspended (But this is done in India, not ours). And they do, one might say so, from "hopelessness." Indians do not have a SU-34 class car. And I do not consider the comparison with the SU-30 and SU-35 to be correct. The machine is essentially a tactical bomber, although it was built on the basis of a fighter. And by no means a temporary measure. He has no tasks to perform the functions "30" and "35". To each his own. The bomber should serve as a bomber, the fighter - the functions of a fighter. But multifunctionality is not a panacea. SU-30, no matter how good it may be, or whatever the nomenclature of TSA is, will not replace the SU-34 with its armored capsule. In the same way as a sufficiently heavily armed SU-34 will not be able to compare with a fighter. Multifunctionality is good, but it is not an end in itself. Similarly, the SU-34 will not replace the SU-25. These are common truths and I am surprised that you would not understand this. The SU-25 really requires the prospect of a replacement, but what it will be like, the new attack aircraft, is not yet clear ...

      Why do I need an armored capsule if planes are bombing from a height beyond the reach of anti-aircraft fire? And in the air, this capsule will not protect either from enemy cannons or explosive missiles.

        Firstly, to, when necessary, fulfill the role of attack aircraft. Or a fighter. Ever heard of the concept of a combat mission and the purpose of a Su-34? And secondly, any booking increases the chances of survival. A fragment can also fly in, and a directed stream of fragments, and the turn of the “partner”. You ask strange questions.

          The armor has to be carried around. Instead of enough bombing.
          Therefore, it turns out that the single-engine baby F-16 dumps more on the enemy
          bombs than twin-engine bomber.

            We are rushed upon, that we have many weapons of the same type from different manufacturers, and we need some kind of universalism, or we do not like our universality. Yes, the armored capsule weighs, but Israel may not buy the Su-34, but take the F-16. Our planes are quite happy with us and we are not just happy with them. We are proud. And you didn’t even bother to delve into the meaning of my answer. Talk to yourself. Once again I say - get acquainted with the characteristics of the Su-34. It was created as a universal aircraft. Both for assault operations and for fights in the air. We also have Tu-22M3 for a clean bombing. And try to cite your American counterparts as an example.
