State tests of the Ukrainian multipurpose fighter MiG-29MU2 postponed to 2022

The completion of state tests of the MiG-29MU2 fighter being developed in Lviv is postponed to 2022. Dmytro Matrunchik, director of the Lviv State Aviation Repair Plant, spoke about this.

Since Ukraine is not able to purchase new and modern fighters, and the available aircraft fleet is already significantly outdated, Lviv decided to develop a new MiG-29MU1 fighter on the basis of the MiG-29MU2 fighter in service with the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, calling it the MiG-29MUXNUMX. In fact, as explained at the Lviv aircraft plant, the task is to turn the classic Soviet MiG-XNUMX into a universal "truly multipurpose" aircraft capable of gaining air superiority and striking ground targets.

Work on the development of the fighter modernization project began in 2018 and continues to this day. In the spring of this year, the Lviv aircraft plant announced that it had entered the final straight state tests, which were supposed to be completed by the end of this year, but were postponed to 2022. The reason for this is not named, but is most likely associated with underfunding. The company has already complained about the lack of orders from the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

Despite the lack of funds, Lviv hopes that the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, based on the results of state tests of the MiG-29MU2, will take it into service, which means it will provide the Lviv aircraft plant with orders for a long time, since the modernization of the entire MiG-29 fleet of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine is carried out in Lviv.

According to the information portal FlightGlobal, there are 43 MiG-29 light fighters in the combat composition of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As previously reported in the press service of the Lviv aircraft plant, almost all the MiG-29 fighters in Ukraine have been overhauled over the past 7 years.

No wonder. For seven years, one tank was made for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. the "strongest" army in Europe, as they say.

[Nevsky_ZU]

Well, from the Afghan Air Force they were promised by the Americans to pull up Mi-8 helicopters for a loan. I think that spare parts for the MiG-29 or the 29 itself can be fitted from satellites in Eastern Europe. So theoretically, the heirs of Bandera can still use the technological heritage of the Soviet-Russian Civilization for a long time. And their conscience will not bother them.

[Ros 56]

Dear, such a thing

And their conscience will not bother them.

they do not have in nature. From the word at all.

[Serge-667]

Are they available in Eastern Europe? There are already no spare parts left from them. And if there is something left somewhere, then Ukraine will not get it cheap.

[Thrifty]

Why is the MiG now a Ukrainian brand of an aircraft ???

[Der Spiegel]

Of course not, but his heart belongs to the hand of a great master, not from Russia at all ... Yes, you can be cunning, but)))

[Raven 95]

Of course, you can paint with a new brush and stuff used NATO equipment.
And what about the glider, with the load-bearing elements? Their resource cannot be extended indefinitely.
And what kind of engines are there?

[SKVichyakow]

Here you can see what you are capable of. Otherwise, we are feeding Russia. You will at least learn to feed and support yourself.

[ja-ja-vw]

They produced good buses in Lviv.
I remember from childhood: warm.
Even inside, the feeling was like in a house with a Russian stove

[Serge-667]

Lunokhod was the most popular urban and near-suburban transport.
The back platform is just a shine for training the vestibular apparatus!
A dream, not a bus.

[ja-ja-vw]

The Lvivs were with us.
These are much later, when the collapse went.
Laz is always for me. I liked it, in comparison with the cold ikarus (city).
So it is clear: the physical volume and surface area from which heat (energy) "flows out".
However: there are no comrades for taste and color.
I don’t understand why diarrhea suddenly fell on alexniko77

[Serge-667]

Well, it really got warm there. In the summer at sea, such a hard labor was to go. The only gloomy page of visiting the pioneer camp is the road back, in the back seat of such a device. For some reason, we were invariably taken there on the Ikarus, but back on this stove.

[ja-ja-vw]

We didn't have a sea. I remember now: 13 months are winter, and the rest is summer.

[75 Sergey]

From the USSR.
In general, the Soviet people.

Once upon a time they even had concepts

And now
[Center]

[ja-ja-vw]

That's what I remembered on the topic "construction of the mig-29 mkhkhkhkh in Lviv.
It is sad.
Ikarus also seems to have died

[75 Sergey]

Yeah, for the 60s and 70s, in the 80s it was already a dinosaur

[Avior]

The road of mankind into space began with LAZ :))

And then the common problem of many enterprises is privatization.
In 2001, 70 percent of the shares were sold to the Ukrainian-Russian joint venture "Sil-Auto" - read, Igor Churkin. The equipment was gradually cut out and taken out, they are still suing, trying to cancel the illegal privatization.: (((

[Stepan S]

And when did the MiG-29 become a Ukrainian fighter?
They have already assembled one tank in the garages - "Azovets", now they want to make the "Ukrainian" MiG-29 in another hangar. Interestingly, the tank designer Rostik is taking part in the modernization of the aircraft?

[Nexcom]

No, he doesn't accept - Rostik has a lot more cardboard.

[Uncle Vanya Susanin]

Rostik is now blogging on YouTube, overcoming Russia! He has no time to deal with cardboard boxes!

[Nexcom]

And how many times have you already done it?

[Uncle Vanya Susanin]

So constantly, in every video (he has a blog about military equipment), in general, Ukraine is strong as never before!

[Nexcom]

About military equipment made of cardboard?

[Uncle Vanya Susanin]

Partially, every video he compares there Russian and Ukrainian weapons, well, of course, the Ukrainian ones are the most, but, characteristically, they are a little inferior to NATO ones, but the Russian ones are all completely cardboard, curves, and generally fu, in short, the standard analyst's exit

[Nexcom]

In general, from childhood, he sags under the hegemon, praises with might and main in / on, and shits at Russia hated by him, which ate all his fat, deprived him of cardboard, etc. etc.
A typical Euroshummer with a typical ukrosvidomite blah-blah-blah. It's clear.

PS I don’t understand, Sumeria releases so many weapons or something, since he constantly compares on his blog?

I didn’t see his blazers, I already wanted to look, shed a tear

[VORON538]

"And so it will do" (c) :)))

[ja-ja-vw]

The MiG-29 is a Soviet fighter.
Ukraine was in the USSR.
T. Ch. Do not

[75 Sergey]

But it was not the Ukrainians who did it, but the Soviet people.

[ja-ja-vw]

And what changes? In the USSR, that there were no Ukrainians, Bashkirs, Tatars, Kyrgyz and Tuvinians?
I was at the military-industrial complex factories of the RSFSR, the USSR, the Kazakh SSR, Latvia (as it was called in the USSR, I don't remember) at one time

[75 Sergey]

Did not have! I repeat, there was a Soviet man, international, and then they began to divide the stupid and rule, and so that they did not mix, they came up with nationality, originality and independence.

[ja-ja-vw]

I received a passport under Brezhnev.
Just do not.

[Ovsigovets]

in principle, it does not change anything except one thing, the Ukrainians in the USSR did it, the Ukrainians in the modern Ukraine DO NOT do it. And so, in principle, people are the same, the meat is the same

[Stepan S]

T. Ch. Do not

That's exactly what you don't need. They themselves answered that it was the USSR, but what are they writing? Ukrainian..

[ja-ja-vw]

And what we write on the P-36Mxxx.
Is he Ukrainian or Russian Strategic Missile Forces? /

[tralflot1832]

Is RD 33 still capitalizing? The resource is not endless?

[Nexcom]

And they have nothing else to do. Yes, the resource is not infinite. According to the theory of reliability, they will have a period when numerous failures of various devices and systems will occur. Refusals will go like an avalanche. And no repairs can avoid this - only the replacement of parts, blocks, etc. The new ones are dumb. Well, or technical cannibalism - to tear apart another board with at least some real residual resource, and not on paper. But sooner or later, these boards come to an end.

What difference does it make where it will land - in the Donbass or in Lviv, your own technicians will help?

[Nexcom]

Big. If they "land" in Lviv, then the lads will not kill anyone in the LPNR. Therefore, I wish them to break all their litaki in Lviv during the MUdernization.

[ja-ja-vw]

They buy / receive a lot from the countries of the former Warsaw Pact.
Cannibalism: out of 3 repairs one
+ smuggling (I suspect Belarusians and Kazakhs indulge in this)

[wandlitz]

And maybe soon the overseas owners will "give credit", write off another air junk from their squadron and sell them on credit to Nezalezhnaya.

[Nexcom]

It will be a megaremoga, it will be a holiday for them.
Wangyu: when this happens, the commander-in-chief of the Air Force will rush off to smash komunyach's planes with a sledgehammer, like we are getting rid of the Soviet legacy (we will quietly keep silent that it’s time for them to be scrapped, all imaginable and unthinkable terms of real extension have already passed - as they fly, just on their word of honor everything still holds, the USSR reserve of strength).

Threat what for to the Yankees to write off - the Yankes have a huge aircraft cemetery, they keep carefully mothballed planes there. From there Svidomo and toss a squadron or two.
De-preserve, shaman and go.

[wandlitz]

I agree that this way the owners will be cheaper to "help" the Independent.

[Nexcom]

To recruit lads from the military and under the guidance of Yankesov specialists there and begin de-conservation by the efforts of these lads. it will be cheap and cheerful.
at the same time the lads will learn how to arrange their future litaks.

Threat nirazu now I do not put on.

[mitroha]

Maybe it's enough to drain a working business plan

[Nexcom]

Oh, that's it, I’m silent. I will not be any more, if only a word.

PS Do you think they themselves would not have guessed?

[mitroha]

Perhaps, but now they will definitely think of you

Sly people live in the States - they will write off, but will not give. 150 striped litaks are going to cut, 5 cruisers passed by, followed by two aircraft carriers. Howl stood in Kukuyev, sweat was trickling down the palms - everything was empty! ..

[ja-ja-vw]

It will be very expensive to service.
Infrastructure and hands under Made in USSR from year to year, and so on for 100 years.
Give Norway a Su-35: a year will be in procrastination, and it will cost prohibitively on sous, and they will begin to fall

[Vladimir 290]

Peremoga, peremoga! Only here the name needs to be decommunized, otherwise it’s even a shame for the beacon of democracy, all Muscovite names are used. Call it something patriotic - a Mazepa or a Bandera, for example.

[Fox_Fox]

The "youngest" fighters in Ukraine are 87 years old.

[Nexcom]

Yes you? That is, there are even older ones ??? Over 35 years old? That's a lot for military aircraft. They didn’t just take off and land as a civilian board, they must withstand a certain amount of overload during maneuvering in the air.

Well, actually. Directly some kind of antiques, not the Ukrainian Air Force.

[ODERVIT]

The director is the son of my classmate.
Without your own aircraft, nothing will come of it.
Perhaps they will improve something, modernize something, but believe the old aviator,
there will be a breakthrough.
Everything they do is from the past century.

[Nexcom]

What are you talking about? What is the breakthrough? Svidomo would not start to fall because of the crumbling boards. And you mean a breakthrough. They display the plane with a channel (they were in the photo of how they cook the BTR-4 bodywork), and not on the slipway with conductors - this is the level of a garage car service. In aviation, a sledgehammer, a welding machine and channel bars tacked by eye are certainly indispensable.

[ODERVIT]

Nerves, old age. Did not forget.
The level of ARP is well known to me.

[Nexcom]

Are you saying that the level is high enough? I doubt it ... I will believe in the middle level.

[ODERVIT]

I said what I said. Further speculation.
Indeed, in the conditions of an enterprise created for CWR, it is impossible to carry out a deep modernization without the participation of a developer. Moreover, all their attempts, I assume, are illegal.

Condolences ...
Not to you. In the sense that a person has to, without even, as they say, shit and sticks, pile something for which officials will report, and most likely there will be no bonus for the hard workers

[Bad Pig (Ham)]

this is such a form of military-state masturbation - we take the old moment 29, paint it in NATO camouflage and voila! before us is "developed on the basis of the moment 29 mu 1" - "a completely new, truly multipurpose moment 29 mu 2" !!!
modern jet aviation is beyond the pockets of all self-styled and impoverished idiots - "toucans" are your future

[Nexcom]

"Toucans", in fact, also need to be serviced. And they break like any other equipment - you will have to buy spare parts. Consumables are needed - oils, all kinds of liquids, gaskets, seals, tires, .... Aviation is not a cheap pleasure. Modern jet aircraft - even more so.

[zenion]

We have to wait for MU to grow horns.

[Nexcom]

It will be fun if he falls apart while taxiing along the runway after MUdernization.
How will the throttle be given full throttle, but it is awful, and it will fall apart.

[TermNachTer]

Then they will postpone to 2023, then to 2024, and there, look, and the banderland will end)))

[Diverter]

Hai wuxi urkolitaki fall on takeoff.

[75 Sergey]

So is this modernization or production?

[faiver]

MU2 is short for Mu-Mu?

[Grancer81]

What the hell goat, that is, khokhlam, button accordion? You even MU, even Mo-Mu obzovi, but only nature can not be fooled ... And these "letaki" have already worked out their resource.

[fearik]

The legacy of the USSR The MiG-29 is a good machine, and both the glider and the engines, there is one thing but for the testers of fate, the fatigue of metal in aircraft is high,

[BOB044]

What they are all the same miserable. First, the country was plundered, and now they started thinking about how to modernize the MIG 29 when there is no money.
