Ukrainian pilots tested light attack aircraft EMB-314 Super Tucano

Ukraine is still considering the purchase of the Embraer EBN-314 Super Tucano light turboprop attack aircraft for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). According to Military Aviation, Ukrainian pilots made several familiarization flights on these aircraft.

An APU delegation arrived in Portugal this week, where Ukrainian pilots were able to test the Embraer EBN-314 Super Tucano Brazilian light turbo-propeller attack aircraft at an aerodrome in the Lisbon area, making several flights on them. This is the second "acquaintance" of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces with light attack aircraft, in early August this year, a delegation of the Air Force visited Brazil, where the commander of the aircraft flew on this aircraft.

According to Ukrainian media, the Armed Forces Armed Forces command is seriously considering the purchase of Embraer EMB-314 Super Tucano turboprop combat training aircraft in Brazil. The Ukrainian delegation in August of this year even visited the Brazilian São Paulo in order to get acquainted with the Brazilian plane. Then it was reported that the delegation had preliminary negotiations with the leadership of the military division of the Brazilian company Embraer. The negotiation issue is the possibility of acquiring the Embraer EMB-314 Super Tucano turboprop combat training aircraft.

The details of the negotiations were not disclosed, however, it is known that Ukraine intends to purchase aircraft through the United States and through American funding under the same program under which these aircraft were delivered to Afghanistan, Lebanon and Nigeria.

A-29 Super Tucano is a multi-purpose light attack aircraft developed by the Brazilian company Embraer based on the EMB-314 Super Tucano TCB. The maximum take-off mass of the aircraft is 5200 kg, the wingspan is 11,14 m, the engine power is 1x1600 hp, the maximum speed is 590 km / h, the practical range is 1330 km, the practical ceiling is 10670 m, the crew is 2 people. Armed with two built-in 12,7-mm machine guns, it can carry guided and unguided missiles and bombs on suspensions.

So I understand that here the key importance is not the LTH of this aircraft, but

Ukraine intends to purchase aircraft through the United States and through American funding under the same program under which these aircraft were delivered to Afghanistan, Lebanon and Nigeria.

Many people mistakenly look at the A-29 almost as an analogue of the Il-2, but this is not so. In fact, this aircraft should be viewed as an example of the now popular "manned UAV" concept. That is, a medium-altitude platform with a good optoelectronic complex for reconnaissance, observation and target designation, plus a good set of guided weapons, suitable for use from high altitudes (UAB) and ranges (Hellfire and APKWS). Having a crew there is also only a plus for flexibility. When loitering at some distance from the line of contact with the enemy, such a platform is practically invulnerable from massive short-range air defense systems (MANPADS, ZPU, ZA), forcing the enemy to use full-fledged short / medium-range air defense systems to counter it - of which a) the number is limited; b) which cannot be pulled too close to the front line because of their vulnerability - from the same artillery and MLRS; c) the deployment of which in the Donbas near the front line is politically limited. At the same time, there are essentially no restrictions for shooting with A-29 Hellfires or 70-mm high-precision APKWS from a distance of several kilometers.

[Aristarkh Lyudvigovich]

Inside the cab.

[Oden280]

Toucan does not have guided air-to-ground missiles. Only two short-range air-to-air missiles. Its main purpose as an attack aircraft is counter-guerrilla warfare. But not as assault actions in the front line area. There is no armor, the aiming range of the 70-mm NAR is about 3,5 km (this is still very optimistic).

[Aristarkh Lyudvigovich]

A-29s are modern turboprop vehicles and they can be very effective against all sorts of paramilitary groups, and in the air they can successfully fight against UAVs and combat helicopters. It surpasses the latter by a head in terms of climb rate, steady turn rate and maximum flight speed. The A-29 is planned to be equipped with Hellfire, which has a range of up to 11 km at the moment. For example, in Iraq, the Cessna AC-208B Combat Caravan turboprop carried the main burden of the aircraft defeat of ISIS units before the United States intervened in the matter. Hundreds of "Helfaers" left. Perhaps you will be interested in this: "Tukanoclass"

I don’t boom that they will eat, they are very expensive, despite the look of the airplanes.
In Ukraine, it has been already 5 years that they decide whether to buy Chinese supersonic Chinese L-15s with Ukrainian engines, which are almost the same in cost, and have not been bought so far, and with these 10 years more discussions.
As for MANPADS, it’s non-reactive anyway, there is no heated nozzle, when the gas is discharged, the temperature will drop sharply if traps or other means are used against IR guidance — the chance of survival is higher than that of the reactive one.
And as for the speed - during an attack, the attack aircraft is small, and the approach to the target can be at a height inaccessible to small-caliber ZSU

The turbojet has a red-hot nozzle open, in fact, the turboprop, as I understand it, the most heated parts of the engine are covered.
He does not need to plan for hours, two to three seconds on discharged gas, and the simultaneous use of interference against infrared guidance.

She reacts to everything, not only to the nozzle and exhaust. Otherwise, IR-guided missiles would operate in the front hemisphere with the same efficiency as in the rear. And from the rear, the IR head sees through the Outlet much warmer parts of the engine.

[Avior]

First of all, on the temperature of the exhaust gases.
The temperature is only different for gases - a theater is noticeably lower, and the most heated parts of the engine are not visible in a theater.
The infrared visibility of a theater is lower than that of a turbojet engine, which essentially affects the likelihood of a capture failure.
Tukano needs to be compared in this regard with a helicopter, and unlike a helicopter, its speed is much higher, which means that the probability of capturing a seeker is lower.

[Grigory_45]

Nonsense, from beginning to end. Better learn materiel, and do not powder brains to others

[Avior]

emotionally, but not informative.
I looked at the documentation for the AI-24 and AI-25 engines.
Indeed, the temperature at the turbine outlet of the turbine engine is noticeably lower.

It's not scary if a person doesn't know something. It is good if a person is convinced that he is right .... But when this conviction develops into "donkey stubbornness "is already bad!

[Nikolay Balashov]

You are specifically right. A turbine engine, like a helicopter engine, has two turbines - not connected to each other. The so-called free turbine rotates the screw through the gearbox. (although this is not a law, there is a theater with a connected turbine). So, on take-off mode, the gas temperature in front of the turbine is 990 degrees (TV3-117), and on low gas it is 660. The gas seeker is all the same, 990 or 660. Of course, the output is noticeably lower, but still.

[qQQQ]

Right, lose the target

Will not lose at all. GOS MANPADS operates in the infrared + photo contrast range, and there nothing depends on speed.

[Avior]

photo contrast range

I did not understand this. What kind of range is this?
Is it a matrix, or what?

[venik]

Quote: Avior

I did not understand this. What kind of range is this?

======
Optical - contrasting (light or dark) target against a clear sky!

[qQQQ]

This came from the very first: Arrow-1,2 and one of the modes 10. Roughly speaking, as the eye sees, highlighting a contrasting object against a uniform background. It is during cloud cover that guidance should be done at a sufficient distance from the cloud, etc.

[Avior]

And didn’t she aim at the birds with such guidance? And didn’t the target exist if the color of the plane was not contrasted against the sky or cloud?
Modern ones obviously don’t.

[qQQQ]

The bird is very small, redirected to a more contrasting, in my eyes - to the cloud. The sky is still brighter, as the plane does not paint. Modern MANPADS already have several channels, so this problem remained only with old missiles.

[venik]

Quote: qqqq

GOS MANPADS works in infrared + photo contrast range

========
This was the case with the first Arrows. Now - already multispectral heads have gone - on "Verba" it seems like 2 IR + UV ranges. But the essence does not change from this - it WILL NOT MISS everything as one (unless on an ultra-small area behind folds or obstacles to hide)

[Grigory_45]

Quote: Avior

dropped gas to zero and plans further, or in a shallow dive, and what will happen to the GOS MANPADS?
Right, lose the target

will not lose. IK GOS leads a rocket to heat from the engine (or rather, to exhaust nozzles heated by the exhaust), but they do not cool down instantly. A turbojet engine is much hotter than a piston, and the head of the rocket sees it perfectly.

lightweight piston airplane

Ukrainian pilots were able to test the Brazilian lungs turboprops attack aircraft

I don’t understand why they need Toucans? Embraer EMB-314s were used to fight Colombian drug lords, this is understandable. A modern jet plane has a high stall speed, and at high speed it is extremely problematic to see something in the jungle, which covers the entire earth. It was here that the stable horizontal flight of the Tukan at low speed came in handy. But what for is this ability on the vast plains of Ukraine? Well, it is still possible to use it as a training one, but right now there are no Air Force pilots being taught there. Unless to grab a freebie, and we’ll beat it up there, we can spray chickens with chickens.

[Avior]

Pilots are taught, but as a training one they are not needed, of course.
It is not jet, it is turboprop, it is an aircraft for specific tasks.
On the other hand, the Chinese supersonic jet L-15 is not much different in price from the supertukano, and the engine on it is Ukrainian, so I doubt that Brazilians will buy in a significant amount

[novobranets]

So I am about the same. Well, there is no VNA in Ukraine of such specifics for the Toucan (unless weevil poison on weeds ) But the question is, if pilots are taught, what will they fly on? Trampule is unlikely to give them a little bit suitable aircraft, and buy dumb pennies.

[Avior]

Yak-52b, (yak-54), which you have in the photo, was prepared for use in Afghanistan.

[Ros 56]

Actually, the Yak-54 is a slightly different car

[Avior]

The combat Yak-52b which is pictured was made in a single copy. When transferred to mass production, I had to get an index of 54.

The experience of military operations in Afghanistan indicated the need for the use of light maneuverable counterguerrilla attack aircraft in combat operations. One of the projects for creating such an aircraft was the Yakovlevsky Yak-52B (it was planned in the case of mass production to assign it the designation Yak-54). The basis was taken cheap and reliable TCB Yak-52. Two pylons with suspended blocks UB-32 were installed on the plane. In this regard, it was necessary to strengthen the wings of the aircraft.

Since the gray did not start, I think the index was given to another development

[Zhan]

Good morning everyone.
I do not understand how it can be used in combat conditions. This is one or two sorties in my opinion. Even if against LDNR, in the conditions of the steppe zone when detected, it is a very easy target for conventional small arms, and there is an abundance of them.

[Avior]

From the usual rifle he has Kevlar armor.
And it is not at all inexpensive.

[Wilderness]

How inexpensive to buy and operate (and therefore more massive) is the replacement of attack helicopters. Flying further and faster than a helicopter. The overall survivability is also better - if the engine is damaged, he can even plan for a kilometer or two, and not crash down on the head of the angry stormed infantrymen like a helicopter. Why not?

I am writing for everyone.
It's about using this Super Tukano instead of helicopters, not attack aircraft.
And in this capacity, he is less vulnerable to weak air defense for a number of reasons.

The third approach is the creation of a multifunctional apparatus, one of the tasks of which is the fight against an enemy poorly protected by air defense systems.

Hereinafter, quotes from interviews with Sukhoi employees
https://www.google.com/amp/s/m.tvzvezda.ru/news/opk/content/201608221910-svke.htm/amp/

"Size matters: why does the Russian Aerospace Forces need a turboprop attack aircraft"

Requirements for such an aircraft

Combat experience has shown that such an aircraft should have a maximum speed of not more than 700 kilometers per hour, and a working one - no more than 300 - 400 kilometers per hour (otherwise the pilot will not have enough time to aim). The aircraft should have armored protection for the cockpit and the most important parts of the structure from small arms, modern anti-aircraft systems.

Supertukano just fits them perfectly.
Regarding the possibility of defeating MANPADS with IR guidance, as the most common and generally choosing the type of engine.

a turboprop engine as more economical in relation to a turbojet engine and having lower visibility in the infrared range.

I understand very well that MANPADS helicopters are completely aimed at myself, and I understand how turbojets differ from turboprops, but when comparing jet and turboprop aircraft, less IR visibility is obvious - the temperature of the gases at the output of the turboprop is lower and due to other design features, the IR visibility is lower, then there are harder to capture.
But if you compare this Tucano with an airplane, then the speed of Tucano is much higher than that of a helicopter.
That is, in this part, an advantage over a helicopter in speed, over a jet plane, is at a lower exhaust temperature.
And how is it in reality, and not in the opinion of Sukhoi designers and theoretical calculations, I don’t know, I was looking for combat use in relation to MANPADS, but I did not find.
Anyway, I’m sure they won’t buy them.

The gun caliber of the Volkov and Yartsev design is indicated in the model name VYA-23 - 23 mm. 37 mm, IMHO, was in the NS-37 (Nudelman, Suranov-37mm). Yes, and with ShKAS even a little beguiled - his caliber is three-linear, 7,62 mm.
