Indian Air Force thinking about upgrading MiG-29 to Russian BARK-88

India is discussing a program of deep modernization of the MiG-29 fighter jets in service with the country's air force. One of the areas of modernization is to turn the MiG-29 into a universal combat vehicle, which could also be used for the effective destruction of various ground targets.

Indian Air Force thinking about upgrading MiG-29 to Russian BARK-88




In the Indian press, in connection with these plans of the country's Air Force command, the possibility of increasing the potential of the MiG-29 based on the use of a digital block of automatic regulation and control BARK-88 is mentioned. By the way, it was in India (at the Aero India-2017 exhibition) that this unit was first introduced by the Russian United Engine Corporation.

This system can significantly increase the capabilities of the fighter engine. In particular, we are talking about increasing the hot draft resource aviation power plant. Also, the digital BARK is able to increase the supply of gas-dynamic stability of the engine in variable modes, to increase the accuracy of maintaining the operating parameters of the fighter’s power plant. But that is not all. In India, attention was drawn to the fact that the BARK-88 allows to reduce both the volumes and the mass of auxiliary equipment - engine electronics (RD-33) and various electrical cables.

For your information: BARK-88 unit was developed by Klimov specialists. In fact, it replaces the analog blocks, which to date can be considered largely obsolete.

All the required work for the production of the BARK for the engines of MiG-29 fighters was completed in the 2015 year. After that, the units were installed on airplanes that are operated by the Strizhi aerobatic team.

India is assessing the possibility of purchasing BARK-88 from Russia for the modernization of its Air Force 64 aircraft. Previously reported upgrading to the version of the MiG-29UPG 65-ti combat vehicles.

      Russian weapons are promising and the best in the world, as it were, the United States and its henchmen do not pour mud on us, and therefore India needs to rely on a proven and best weapon partner and they will not fail.

            Inhaling, not inhaling - it does not matter!
            Tell me, WHOM do they deliver their Fu-35?
            To their NATO counterparts and the more they deliver this der (oh!) Ma to them, the lower will be the combat readiness of NATO's air units, the more damage will occur, and the more we will click them, and the more angry the former colleagues will become in relation to their Yusov’s friends. Or take the Saudis - often they released the F35 against the Hussites? No!
            So, on the other hand, look - and then they will soon have nothing to fly at all !!
            But this is excellent, it will be just like with a horse - like there are planes, but they don’t bomb or storm anything !!

              The same India was going to buy the F35, however, this was before the cancellation of purchases of the Su-57, because they were to form a 5th generation heavy / light fighter pair. They would have bought a lightweight fighter of the 5th generation from us, if we had one (ayy, MI-I-IG!)

                Here you are late!
                Yesterday it was reported that we are giving documentation to the Indians on the production of the MiG-35 - that's why the Indians have been racing around Russia for several years. laughing

      "Real money"? yes you, my friend, a DREAMER. "Palm oil is our EVERYTHING!" By the way, yesterday my wife bought blue cheese, it turned out to be produced in Iran. Tried it, "Dor Blue" is better.

    Yes, it would be nice, otherwise our MiG is something without orders at all. In Ryazan, our Instrument Plant works for him, more and more reducing the number of people.

    At least some orders are now needed like air.
