The MiG-29М2 fighter has aroused the interest of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan

The Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Kazakhstan has finally summed up the results of the second International Exhibition of Armament and Military Technical Equipment "KADEX-2012", which was held in May in Astana, the press service of RAC "MiG" reports. AEX.ru

According to the press service of the Ministry of Defense of Kazakhstan, among combat aircraft "the greatest interest of specialists of the Armed Forces of Kazakhstan was caused by a multifunctional front-line fighter MiG-29М2".

At the KADEX-2012 exhibition, the delegation of RAC MiG OJSC under the leadership of General Director Sergey Korotkov actively worked. He presented the MiG-29М2 aircraft to President Nursultan Nazarbayev of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the leadership of the Ministry of Defense, the company said.

On the MiG-29M2 fighter, high-ranking military personnel of Kazakhstan performed familiarization flights. Commander-in-Chief of the Air Defense Forces of the Army of Kazakhstan, Lieutenant General aviation Alexander Sorokin after the flight said: “A good MiG-29M2, multi-functional. It is a beautiful car. It works in all modes: by air, by land, by ship. ”

Currently, RSK MiG OJSC is leading the mass production of MiG-29М / М2 airplanes. Together with the MiG-29K / KUB ship-borne fighters, they will form the basis of the production program of the Russian Aircraft Corporation MiG in the medium term.
MiG-29М / М2 - single and double newest serial combat aircraft of RSK MiG. They are based on the ship-based MiG-29K / KUB fighters, which are being mass-produced from the 2008 year. When developing the MiG-29K / KUB and MiG-29М / М2 family, the task of combining the outstanding aerodynamic characteristics of the classic MiG-29 with advanced developments in avionics, materials, engines and weapons was solved. MiG-29М / М2 - multifunctional combat aircraft that can fight air, ground and surface targets with the help of modern and advanced precision weapons.

MiG-29М / М2 is equipped with the latest detection systems of attacking missiles and laser irradiation, which allows timely detection of threats and parrying them with the help of electronic warfare. The assigned resource of the MiG-29М / М2 airframe is 6000 hours, the calendar service life is 40 years, which significantly exceeds the similar indicators of previously produced aircraft.

The Republic of Kazakhstan Air Force is already armed with 21 MiG-29s received from the Russian Armed Forces (in 1995-1996), but as I understand it, they are going to replace them with a moment of 29 m2. Great solution, but why not 35? in terms of characteristics, it surpasses the mig29m2.

I agree with you, but if there is an interest in foreign air forces in our products and our air forces are in no hurry with orders, then what does domestic manufacturers have to wait for orders from ours and refuse foreign customers? If that were the case, our manufacturers went bankrupt all the way one. (although lately orders from our suns have been increasing and it's nice to see)

[cobra66]

Our Air Force is adopting those aircraft that are in demand from other countries, but it should be exactly the opposite.

I don’t quite agree with you, I can be mistaken, but I don’t use special demand abroad (although this is a great machine), but it has already arrived at our air forces.

Good news. To be in Kazastan MiGam. Another would be the SU-35S and a bit of the SU-34. Hundreds are not needed, there are just a few dozens that are needed - above the roof of the RK is enough if someone suddenly appears in the mountains as undesirable

Best-in-class combat aircraft (the ratio of the weight of weapons to the mass of an empty aircraft in general is 0,6; although this modification may be due to additional equipment has a different coefficient). I often saw him in action and I can say that for Kazakhstan this is what is needed. There is, for example, Mig - 31. But at the request of Russia and China (not to fly in their direction) it flies only along one route Karaganda - Caspian - Karaganda. And this car will be in time.
On the day of aviation, the best pilots flew to the range to us and "came off" in full. The flight director said that day: “Today we are working for the soul and from the heart.” Aerobatics with combat use (shooting). This is something something.
They say that super-maneuverability is only for the show. But it allows you to drop all the ammunition in a matter of minutes on ground targets. Without even leaving the "dead zone" of the radar. Many radars have a dead zone - within a radius of 3-5 km from it (radar), it does not see anything. And I often had a question: "How did the MiG-29 win all training battles against its western competitors when, after the collapse of the USSR, it fell into the hands of NATO pilots? They even gave them instructions:" Into close maneuverable combat with the MiG- 29 do not join. "
MiG - 29 is my favorite combat aircraft, though there was nothing to compare it with. Mig-21 and Mig-23, which flew at our training ground next to him, are not standing.

For what?....
Before "revenge" with language like "paper" will endure everything - study the difference between aerobatics-complex aerobatics and aerobatics !!!

Yesterday, another 34 in the ground fluttered up smartly, followed by painted blue and white. I heard that new engines came in the spring, however, who says 2 x AL-31FM2 turbofan engines, and who has an AL-41F with a thrust of about 20000 kg, it’s so clear, we’ll find out the secrets later, but I’m happy with this info, it’s obvious that it’s not just work, and real plowing. In short, things have gone!

[Kasym]

Veteran.air force (3). Sergei. Let's figure it out.
First, I did not write about the bombing. There is a GSh-29 (23) cannon on the MIG-30, I don't know exactly which ones were on our planes. Secondly, "swing" is a soldier's term, unofficial. Against the background of the bright blue sky and the silver color of the aircraft, it's hard for me to say what kind of maneuver the aircraft were making. But it happened as follows: the plane enters the target from the west, fires from the cannon, gains altitude (about 3 km), then somehow turns around (I suppose when climbing it makes a turn around its axis by 180 degrees; i.e. the cockpit was at the top, stood at the bottom, then makes a loop, goes into a tailspin, exits it, dives at the target, but from the east, fires back, then everything repeats again, and maybe in a different way: gains height, falls into a tailspin, turns 180 degrees around its axis, comes out of a corkscrew and enters the target. At least it seemed to me, as an aquarium planner). On the flight path, it looks like a swing: up and down, again up and down, which is why we called it that. At least MIG-21 and MIG-23 did not perform such maneuvers. I did not write about any BELL. Thirdly, on the holiday (May 9, Aviation Day, not exactly on this day, but on the one closest to it), the best pilots - instructors flew in, our division was training, foreign pilots from friendly countries were trained. So, after bombing and shooting, these instructors, at our request (soldiers serving the range), performed aerobatics. Unfortunately, I do not know the names of these figures, but each pilot made 5-7 figures, a spectacle still, after that they returned to the airfield. These are the types of aerobatics I wrote about. Fourthly, according to the information I read, the empty MIG-29 weighs a little more than 10 tons, the mass of the maximum weapon it carries is 6 tons, the coefficient is 0,6. I read that they do not achieve such a coefficient on Western aircraft. That's the attitude I'm talking about. It seems to me that the more ammunition an aircraft can carry, the better. Moreover, when it comes to a "light" aircraft.
It makes no sense to me to compose and lie, I wrote about what I saw. Sincerely.

[VAF]

Quote: Kasym

Let's face it.

Dear, well, we will not understand, because all you write is complete BAD !!!
You first figure out what a loop, corkscrew, swing, etc.

What you saw or how you showed it is called the TURN on the HILL, and I wrote about the Bell, because. you described this figure in the first comment so-so these two figures provide for a way out at a speed less than evolutionary and practically in the second modes ... (i.e., stall modes)
in the first case, it is a drawdown on the tail with further lowering of the nose. acceleration and exit from the dive, which is carried out practically with an angle of 90 g, and the second - energetic giving the legs and Rus in the direction of rotation and diving, etc.
Upon reaching these figures, the translational speed is lost to 0 !!!!
Then, on the verge of critical regimes, these figures are carried out AND NO ABOUT ANYTHING AT THIS MILITARY APPLICATION OF THE SPEECH CAN NOT BE !!!!
How else to explain this to you, I do not know.
And with a corkscrew ... well, here at all ... Do you even know. What is a corkscrew ????

Now about your evaluation criteria!
First, with which planes do you compare?
Well, where did you get this figure of 6 tons ??? Had a dream or something ???

It is considered empty weight (depending on version), the weight of the fuel (also) then you take the maximum take-off weight and this is ... what remains and there is the possibility of taking weapons (for different modifications it is different) count and get the output, half that what you wrote at best.
You can. Of course, pour a bucket of kerosene, and try to get what you want, but that will not work !!!
Nowhere and in what evaluations is there such a criterion, is there a criterion for STRENGTHENING !!!
Well, and I hope you are even a hunter? If not, ask your older comrades what kind of duck or goose it is easier to get into when moving or in motionless hovering like yours.
I chewed everything in detail with regard to these maneuvers in the article yesterday, with calculations and photos, do not be lazy, maybe then you will understand !!!

And about the dead zones of the air defense system, well, here ... a kindergarten and only !!!
Do not worry, but it is so !!!
At one time, the MiG-21 in Cuba was driven by the SR-71 so much so that the amers did not fly for almost two months until they figured it out !!!
And on the An-12th aerobatics twisted ... but there were a lot of things.

And what about coefficients again. then count how I wrote to you about the F-16 and F-18 and see for yourself, you can take rafal and Typhoon!

Well, what they saw .... as they say in fear, their eyes are large !!!
For a good example, I am posting you the end of aerobatics, i.e. the beginning of the withdrawal from the Bell and Turn on the hill, maybe you will understand?

[Kasym]

Sergei, well, since you do not want to disassemble and explain to me the wretched, what I saw. Okay . I am not a pilot, so in terminology - a corkscrew, a loop, etc. I could be wrong. Naturally, I draw information from open sources. So I understand how I can. For example, empty weight + armament + fuel = takeoff weight. 10 tons + 4 tons + 6 tons = 20 tons - takeoff weight. Maybe I'm wrong. And also I wrote about the P-18 radar, and not about the air defense system. Sincerely . You wrote something in a "personal". Unfortunately, I clicked the wrong place and now I cannot open it.

[Kasym]

I was wrong, the thrust system is 1,52. But the words of Arkady Slabodsky - gene. feature MIG-29: "You can use weapons (guns, rockets) in any engine operating mode. There are no restrictions." Source: Impact Force. Air Force Part 1: Born to Win. It seems to me that I saw no BELLS and no TURN ON THE HILL.

[VAF]

Quote: Kasym

I was wrong

Well, at least this is the progress that you recognize, only again TURNING WEAPONS is the criterion that determines the flight and flight characteristics of an aircraft.

The ratio of the total engine power at various operating modes (in our case, we take the maximum afterburning to the flight weight of the aircraft).

2X for 8 300 we get 16 600.
The normal take-off mass is 16 850, divide, we get 0.985, i.e. close to unity, i.e. it is very good!
On the su-27. For example, less !!!
But again, this is at normal take-off weight (how much in this case you can take weapons or refuel, that would at least fly somewhere ???)

Well, about the articles, what do you want to openly lay out all the restrictions on an aircraft that is in service as the main IFI ????

Maybe you saw a move away from the target. After diving with a combat dive turn, with a second approach in a downward spiral, or just climbing a hill with a pitch angle of 45-50 g, moving away from the target at a distance of at least 5 km with a coup and re-entry on the target (I can’t say anything about height because I don’t know the weight and speed) !!!

but all this SHOW and SHOW and with real combat use has nothing to do, because in the art of warfare, i.e. tactics- re-entering the target alone or in a pair covered with at least some means of air defense is doomed to 100% FAILURE !!!

Take history and read how many Israelis clicked on Syrian Su-17s and MiG-23BNs ???? only the first pair survives due to stealth and surprise, speed and maneuver - all the rest, as "exposed", are already under direct fire!

Just see how many of our anti-aircraft gunners also clicked on Israeli technology.

Restrictions on the use of weapons -Slabodsky says that the ENGINE will not be compromised for any use of weapons (this was achieved through lengthy tests and various modifications) !!!

Well now I hope everything is clear ???

[VAF]

Quote: Kasym

empty weight + weapon + fuel = take-off weight. 10 tons + 4 tons + 6 tons = 20 tons - take-off weight. Maybe I'm wrong

You are mistaken and very much!

With digits ... more careful.
The heaviest car Mig-29 SMT.

Empty weight - 11 kg (but this is an advertisement, because it’s considered the weight of the equipped one, because apart from kerosene there’s still a bunch of all kinds of oily air alcohol, etc. liquids) + crew weight, + passive electronic warfare and etc. etc.
in heart weight, it increases from 400 to 800 kg.
Well, let's take at least 400 kg how much we already have, right 12 tons.

Fuel - only internal refueling (6 100) kg total already 18 100 kg.

Maximum take-off weight - 21 tons !!!

It will not be difficult to take away from 21 18 100 ???? Where are your promised 6 tons of weapons ???

At the same time, with such a gas station, you limited yourself the tactical range of 450 km with air combat for 5 minutes at low altitude !!!

And in order to get at least 1000 km of radius with a variable profile, small high altitude, you also need at least one PTB, and this is 1 ton of 200 kg to 18 100 !!!

And what is the result !!!

Well, with other modifications there is even easier and less !!!

And what does the "ancient survey locator" P-18 have to do with it ???? is he worse than me ???
You considered these maneuvers as a type of combat use !!!

What do I want or do not want to figure it out ??? And what, excuse me ????
I don’t know, honestly, how else to explain ????

Moreover, visually you could not see this, (maneuvers), because The landfill control point is located at least 3-5 km from the center of the zone, and all notches are made with 3 = x IPs, and you, tablet players are given bearings, and you use 3 bearings to determine the accuracy of hitting either the target or with such then IN !!!
Well, about the methods of firing from AP, I will not tell .....

[Kasym]

Sergei . You read the comments carefully. I tell you about Ivan, and YOU about the Dummy. I was not sitting on a bomb tablet (although I am familiar with it - I had to replace it), but on a regular one. Radar so that the student pilot is not lost, but flew to the right place. And when he is in the area of ​​the radar test site, he does not see him, too close to the radar (P-18 - well, excuse me, that was, as they say, I did not choose). This is the dead zone I'm talking about. And the tablet was right next to the RP - there were cases when the pilots were "lost" in space and could not find the range, this is where we are needed. I sat on my tablet for a year, and the whole picture was before my eyes, then I was transferred to a radio mechanic.
And now about the maneuver. I analyzed your comments and, THANK YOU, figured it out. Now I think I have an "oil painting"
... I can only say that he literally "hung" over the range. And this made a strong impression. Its maneuverability compared to the L-39, MiG-21, MiG-23 was simply amazing. So he got sick with aviation. But I will not describe it because of the terminology. I don’t want to listen to your words like BRED, BASH, MULKA, VENUE IN LANGUAGE, your PUMPING, etc. I have 17 years of teaching experience at the university, Ph.D. in physics and mathematics, and I came across all sorts of students, or rather their behavior - there were still some boors, but as a teacher I had to behave more diplomatically. To understand or explain to a person who has less knowledge has to quite often, but not be rude and rude.
Agree, Sergei, that the Mig-29 traction device is still very remarkable. The initial take-off weight of the Mig-29 was 15 tons. But with time and modernization (MiG-35) it already amounted to 23 tons (weapons up to 5,5 tons) - at least I saw it in the Striking Force. But for a person who does not understand aviation at all, it is easier to say how much weapons he can carry (although I can only call myself an amateur).
Thanks for the discussion. All the best to you.

Dear Dauren!
That's what you can blame me, but not mindfulness!
If you had taken an interest from the very beginning, how would you have seen it like that, but this is possible or ... I’m interested ... I’ve seen it in the movies or in the press. then the dialogue would be built in a completely different vein.
But you, perhaps because of your mentor’s mentality, did exactly what you did with a categorical statement of fact !!!
And when I tried to explain to you. that you are mistaken in this, your ambitions have played, and now you are trying to accuse me of incorrectness and rudeness ???
Although he wrote down everything in such detail that ....
And again, you continue to bend yourselves-saw, heard, etc.
You are a teacher .... The laws of mathematics, physics, aerodynamics, NOBODY CANCELED, and the force of gravity both acted and is acting!
I wrote to you that on the MiG-21 they drove the SR-71 in Cuba !!
Anyone would ask how it would. Look at the data of one another and be surprised, but you did not pay attention to it!
Those. your position is completely understandable - only your opinion. and everything else is ... well, what you listed.
not for me to teach you. of course. but such a position is fundamentally wrong. Especially for a person. who wants to understand and loves aviation!
So upset sincerely. that you didn’t understand anything. yes and do not want to understand. Unfortunately.!
And thank you for the discussion. Good luck!

[Kasym]

Sergei . You think that I did not draw conclusions from your comments. You are wrong, I even thanked you for this. Imagine yourself in my place. You see that the plane makes, as I already wrote, at a distance of about 5 km, and you yourself indicated that at this distance it is difficult to see something, "maneuver" and again enters the target. Then on TV you see such figures as a bell, Pugachev's cobra, and over time you have a firm conviction that you yourself saw it, although in fact it was just a U-turn. I admit I was wrong.
About the MiG-21 I can say the following "from the point of view of an amateur" that it is a wonderful aircraft (at one time it had an "advanced" glider - the structure of the wings). As a mathematician, I can say that the larger the wing area, the greater the lift. And when replacing equipment with modern equipment (avionics, engine, airborne radar), this aircraft reaches generation 4 in terms of its characteristics. It is not for nothing that the Indian Air Force is winning in training battles with the Americans. But there is one significant difference from the MIG-29, the presence of two engines in the latter.
About SR-71. A close friend of mine served in the Far East on the radar (I don’t remember exactly when, either 86, or 87, in the spring) he witnessed the interception of this MIG-31 aircraft and said that the presence of the MIG-31 negated the reconnaissance activity of this aircraft . He also said that a real hunt was conducted behind him and the Pacific Fleet and even our astronauts were involved in this.
Sergey, I always read your comments with great pleasure. Your credibility on the site is very great. Thanks again. I shake my hand, with respect. Sorry, in a hurry.
