The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine ordered the repair of aircraft engines for the MiG-29 and Su-27 fighters

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine ordered repairs aviation engines RD-33, Al-31F and complex electrode regulators KRD-99B. These engines are used on the MiG-29 and Su-27 fighters, which are in service with the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (simplified - the Air Force of Ukraine).

The application for the repair of the aforementioned aircraft power plants caused discussion in the Ukrainian press. In particular, it is noted that the repair order suggests that the country's air force is going to continue to use Soviet-built combat aircraft "instead of focusing on the possibility of updating the aircraft fleet by purchasing Western fighters."

We will remind that earlier the Commander of the Air Force of Ukraine announced "the possible receipt by Ukraine of the American fifth generation F-35 fighters in the medium term." He named 2035 as the timeline. Also in Kiev, the possibility of purchasing other Western-made fighters, including the French Rafale and the American F-15 and F-16, was actively discussed.

At the moment, the tender for the repair of RD-33, Al-31F engines has become the second from the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine since the beginning of the year. The official customer is military unit A0215. This is the command of the Ukrainian Air Force.

At the same time, the tender itself looks like an outright formality, since the only Ukrainian enterprise certified for the repair of such power plants is the Lutsk Repair Plant "Motor". For the above reason, he was appointed the winner of the tender. The total amount that the Ukrainian Air Force command is going to spend on repairing engines for the MiG-29 and Su-27 is about 55,6 million hryvnia (about 150 million rubles).

A little more than a month ago, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine already handed over to the Lutsk plant an order for the repair of aircraft engines. Then the order included RD-33, Al-31F, as well as AL-21F-3T for various modifications of the Su-24, including the Su-24MR reconnaissance aircraft.

For Ukraine, a more or less acceptable option is the purchase of MiG-29 and Su-27 from the former social camp. That technique that has not yet fully developed its resource. They practice the transition to the equipment of NATO countries, perhaps they will give up theirs inexpensively.

There is no order data in the article. Judging by the previous order, which is mentioned in the article, repair of 6 engines will be ordered, 2 of each type. Here are the data on the already completed repair order from Ukrainian sources:

The plant must carry out overhaul of the RD-33, AL-31F, AL-21F-3T aircraft engines.
The work will be completed on April 15, 2021.
In particular, the plant will repair: 2 RD-33 engines for MiG-29 fighters for UAH 17,59 million and UAH 15,39 million; 2 AL-31F engines for Su-27 fighters for UAH 14,11 million and UAH 15,24 million; 2 AL-21F-3T engines for Su-24 bombers for UAH 2,85 million and UAH 2,73 million.
The warranty period is four years, of which two are of direct operation.

The most intelligible comment. It seems that the "allies" of the Square are quite satisfied with the state of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and no one is going to help seriously. Ukraine is coping with the Russophobic task on its own, and when it starts to drop out of the world information field, with the available material resources for blackmail, provocations, and feeding the media, it quite successfully reminds of itself. Between the metropolis and the ruling "elite" of Ukraine, the leash is getting shorter.

That's the problem, there are plenty of examples.

Specifically what examples?

[Vadim Ananyin]

You just have to google and you will find everything yourself.

[Gennady1]

I explain.
These engines are and have always been manufactured in the Russian Federation.
The main workpieces (shafts, disks, blades and TD) are manufactured, and thus they passed life tests only on materials from the Russian Federation and, as well as PKI (units) and bearings. Part of all this requires mandatory replacement during repair (these are the requirements of the TU and the assigned resource)
Well, where will they get all this?
They steal not an option, they are all numbered and you steal

[Orange bigg]

Quote: HAM

What they put their hands on is itself "decommunized" ..

It has been proven more than once.

... The fact is that Poland has collected a collection of MiG-29 aircraft from almost all of the former Warsaw bloc. For example, in 1989-1990 Poland received 12 fighters from the USSR. 22 MiG-29s were donated by Germany. Another 12 fighters were received from the Czech Republic.

However, the resource of jet engines of MiG-29 fighters is limited. The assigned resource of the RD-33 engines of the second series for the MiG-29 is about 1400 hours, after which the deterioration of the main components and assemblies does not allow the engine to be used further, even after repairs. For the past 15 years, Poland has been buying cheap parts for fighters in the countries of the former Warsaw Pact. And at the expense of these reserves, she repaired aircraft.

Now the parts are out. And the Poles had no choice but to turn to Ukraine. Indeed, the Ukrainian state-owned enterprise Lutsk Repair Plant Motor has successfully mastered the production of 5500 parts for aircraft engines. First of all, we are talking about the parts that are most often replaced on aircraft engines and are needed at every repair.

The "Motor" carries out overhaul of aircraft engines of most tactical aircraft of the Armed Forces of Ukraine: Su-24 bombers, Su-27 and MiG-29 fighters.

... However, here's the bad luck! For some reason, the Polish MiGs repaired at the Lutsk "Motor" plant began to fly badly!

On December 18, 2017, a MiG-29 fighter of the Polish Air Force crashed near the city of Minsk-Mazovetsky while landing at a military airfield. The pilot of the plane ejected and survived.
On July 6, 2018, a MiG-29 fighter of the Polish Air Force crashed in the vicinity of the Polish city of Paslenk (Warmia and Mazury Voivodeship), 22nd Tactical Air Base (Malbork airfield). The pilot ejected but died.

On March 4, 2019, a MiG-29 fighter of the Polish Air Force crashed in the Mazovian Voivodeship near Vengrow, the pilot ejected.

Repairing the MiG-29 engine is very expensive, even by Soviet standards. I worked at such a plant in Gatchina - I trained as a shop manager. I can say that these engines cannot be repaired in any country other than Russia. I mean, you can disassemble, rinse. But assembling such an engine is 5 times more expensive than disassembling and may end up with the delivery of a defective product. Well, the repair itself is fantastic for Ukraine. In general, they can portray hack, the planes will be done after installing such engines one flight at a time, and then they will crash.

Don't talk nonsense, I worked for many years on the repair of NK12, in Ukraine, and if these engines were repaired during the USSR, then there were no problems, and by the way, why does everyone think that repairs at Russian repair bases are better? Only because of the presence of a repair kit,? If you are in the subject, then you should know how many complaints have come and come, how many accidents you have with poor-quality repair of aircraft engines, a simple example of how many that 95 suffered from engine problems, not to mention other equipment, for the Ukrainians everything through the anus

[Alexander Terentyev]

Of course, I will answer your answer. Firstly, you have confused the classes of engines and, secondly, the place of their production. NK-12 is a turboprop engine for Tu-95 and Tu-142 naval bombers. The MiG-29 is a fighter, and its engine is of a completely different class. Therefore, I also worked on the Tu-142 in Mongokhto - we sent these engines just to Ukraine for repairs, and the planes too (to the city of Nikolaev). And the MiG-29 aircraft and their engines are manufactured in Russia. Doing repairs, for example, of a watch, at a factory for the production of irons .... You understand me, I guess? :-)

Who did you work at that plant? Have you ever seen the MiG-29 and its engine up close?

Collected a column, KMA KSA, vehicle drive, central drive, I was at the plant in Nikolaev, even jumped from the bridge where the ships were,

[Alexander Terentyev]

Understood, this is probably Konotop. In aviation comes out, not a beginner. But I was surprised by your comment that your specialists can just dashingly scatter any engine, even a different type. Fighter engines differ sharply from turboprop engines. Their thermal load is prohibitive, and the speed of rotation of the turbines is wild. For example, the turbine blades of the MiG-29 engine are grown in the form of a monolithic crystal - this technology was developed and mastered only in the USSR, back in the mid-80s. Where will Ukraine now get such blades to replace those that have exhausted their resource? Does she know this technology and the composition of the alloyed alloys of these parts? It's one thing to just assemble and disassemble, and another thing to make. for example, the air intakes (their channels) of the MiG-29 are made of composite carbon fiber, part of the airframe skin is also. Is there such a technology in Ukraine? The Americans began to use it in aviation after the USSR. The turbine disks of the MiG-29 engine are manufactured at a Moscow plant, on CNC machines - I personally was in such a workshop, in factory practice. Does Ukraine have such a technology?
I can't tell you much about all this .... Ukraine has lost everything. At home, I am currently printing rocket bodies on a 3D printer, developing their design in KOMPAS-19. Are there such specialists in Ukraine?

[igor67]

Quote: Alexander Terentyev

Konotop

Yes, at one time vch21653, nk 12 have been being repaired since 56, that is, since the start of operation, worked for 15 years, in the late 80s we had to start repairing the engine from E, built a workshop with pits, drove the equipment, also at that time a modern way of getting repair kits from a makat, a robot is primitive, but still, at that time, progress gave the required bearing And so on, but the Union collapsed and everything was thrown away, I meant that perhaps other repair shops could repair the engine, without equipment and technology this is impossible

[Alexander Terentyev]

I completely agree with you. The development of tooling for a new technological chain is, in fact, the construction of completely new factory halls. Millions, if not billions of rubles are spent on this. And the training of specialists is generally a different level. For example, where can you find your level of specialists in Ukraine? ...

[Alexander Terentyev]

It is quite possible that I touched these engines that you were repairing with my hands. I installed them on the planes of my aviation squadron in the Kamenny Ruchey garrison. There was a deputy. AE commander for IAS on Tu-142. Here is one of them - he personally photographed it in 1990 on his Zenit ET film camera. I had 8 of these aircraft in the AE.

But seriously, the MiG29 and Su27 are excellent fighters. Change avionics and new weapons, and all these needles and falcones are nervously smoking. They constantly modernized theirs and therefore they have a head start. Cars of the first modifications. I saw them for the first time in Kansk. Handsome men. And in Ukraine it seems to me the pipe will be soon. And where will they get new engines.?

[Drugov]

What is great about this news is that about 135 million rubles have been allocated for one of the leading repair plants of the "great" military power (equivalent of course). Imagine the scale of the plant and its daily needs to maintain performance, and then NATE, get and sign a whole UAH 50 million, so that they would also fulfill the contract for this money. Probably you shouldn't talk about the competencies of the plant, there is a strong belief that they are sufficient for such repairs, nevertheless the Soviet Union knew how to build defense enterprises and much more, but this handout in the form of obvious cents, which is not a fact that they will be used on purpose is questionable.

[TermNachTer]

Does the remzavod itself produce such complex products as compressor or turbine blades, nozzles, shafts, combustion chambers? And if it doesn't, where will they get it from?

[Drugov]

This article does not reflect the details of the tender and the technical requirements for the repair. We can only speculate and speculate about these parameters. Perhaps the products you listed, as the readers of the resource have already commented on, the plant has in warehouses or will try to get it by roundabout ways, remove it from products with a smaller motor resource, I do not know. But in one thing we look the same with you is that the probability of a positive result of these manipulations tends to zero.

[TermNachTer]

Does it have in warehouses? And still not sold?))) I do not believe. Get workarounds? They have already given 3 years to some smart guy who was trying to ship some parts to the MiG - 29, to Banderland. Unfortunately, it is not specified which ones. Remove from other engines? If the engine is over 30 years old, what can be removed from there? There was a vidosik, summer 2014 in Donbass, a MiG-29 is passing over the Banderopithecus column, you need to understand to raise morale. Runs at low speed, but the engines smoke mercilessly, apparently the compressors are already "killed in the trash". Seven years have passed.

[Drugov]

Nikolay, I actually never mentioned anywhere about the possibility of such a repair. It's one thing to have the competencies that I really spoke about, and quite another thing to implement the terms of reference for the specified repair, which I have great doubts about. Your arguments fully support these very doubts.

[TermNachTer]

My comment was addressed not so much to you as to the readers of the site in general, so that the whole complexity of the problem was clear. Since I work in a factory that makes and repairs aircraft engines. I apologize if I offended by chance, did not want to.

[Drugov]

No, well, no offense, in my opinion, the dialogue went in a mutually respectful tone.

One gets the impression that for some reason it is being displayed on the net without reading it, using the copy-paste method.
But it is even sadder that some readers, it seems, after the word "Ukraine" in the headline further does not matter what is written there, no one paid attention to this rude blunder.: (((

[TermNachTer]

How can an engine be repaired without original spare parts?

[Sancho_SP]

1. I use not original ones.
2. I use the ones recovered on my own.
3. Using second-hand.

[TermNachTer]

1. Not original - did you buy it at the bazaar? It is for Opel or Ford that you can buy Turkish or Chinese spare parts. Aviation non-original - Chinese? The engine has a form where all the operations that were performed with it, the numbers of parts and assemblies that have changed are entered. This form contains the list of people who are criminally liable if the engine fails and bad consequences follow. Finally, there is a military representative, who is also responsible, including criminal, for poor-quality repairs.
2. Remanufactured - the technology of restoration in terms of complexity, is only slightly different from the manufacture of new parts. You do not need a foundry to make blanks, but you need equipment to restore the geometry of the part, and then, all the same operations as in the manufacture of a new one.
3. Replacing some used ones with others? The description of the complexity of this process will take up a lot of space. Simply put, even if you spend so much time and effort, how many hours of motor life will we add to the engine?
And if the war and the engine will be driven to extreme modes? And he will die from overload alone? And again the military representative. The question to him in the tribunal is how he allowed the installation of such parts on the engine of a combat aircraft? And according to the laws of wartime.

Ukraine buys these things unofficially in Russia, I mean spare parts for MiGs and Su. Stolen here in the old days from the warehouses of ATI military units or illiquid assets of aircraft factories. And somehow they managed to maintain a certain number of Soviet cars in flight condition.
There is no other way! Engines cannot be repaired or extended forever. Sooner or later, the engine is changed! In the old one, nothing can be done because of the demolition of rubbing mechanisms and the burnout of parts. When nicks appear on the blades and the thickness of the parts decreases due to high temperatures.
The same applies to spare parts for aircraft. On avionics, equipment, etc. Ukraine produces and manufactures something, receives something through other countries (Belarus, for example) from Russia.
Of course, there are warehouses with Soviet stocks of ATI. But all the most valuable have long been smoked by the precious metal workers.
