Production of the MiG-29 in Moscow

The MiG Russian Aircraft Manufacturing Corporation invited media representatives to meet with the leadership. During the event, journalists were shown for the first time the production of MiG-29K / KUB aircraft.

01. MiG-29K / KUB are mass-produced for the Indian Navy and will be delivered in the future by sea aviation Russian Navy.

02. The corporation is currently implementing two contracts with India.

03. The first contract for the supply of sixteen MiG-29K / KUB, which the Indian Navy should receive under the contract for the supply of the aircraft carrier Vikramaditya, will be completed this year.

04. Eleven cars have already been delivered to India, five more will be delivered by the end of the year.

05. In addition, last year, a contract worth $ 1,5 billion was signed to supply an additional batch of 29 aircraft.

06. The initial training of Indian pilots on the MiG-29K / KUB, testing takeoff / landing on the deck of an aircraft carrying cruiser will be held at the Ukrainian complex "NITKA". India also builds its own take-off / landing range.

07. As the head of the engineering center, Vladimir Ivanovich Barkovsky, said, RSK MiG is also currently executing a contract for the supply of 20 MiG-29 to Myanmar and a contract to modernize the MiG-29 of the Indian Air Force.

08. "This is a deep modernization of previously delivered aircraft. New avionics, radar, information control field, and new weapons are installed on the aircraft. 6 aircraft will be modernized in Russia (4 in Moscow and 2 in Nizhny Novgorod) ...

09. ...
after which the modernization technology will be transferred to India, where about 60 aircraft will be upgraded at the Air Force repair base. Under this contract, MiG will supply modernization kits and weapons to India. "

10. The company's CEO Sergei Korotkov told reporters that MiG plans to sign a contract for the supply of MiG-29K / KUB carrier-based fighters for the Russian Navy.

11.

12. The MiG-29K multipurpose ship fighters (single) and MiG-29CUB (double) belong to the generation "4 ++"

13. The aircraft have an advanced airframe with a high proportion of composite materials, a digital integrated electrical remote control system for an aircraft with fourfold redundancy, a significantly reduced visibility in the radar range, an increased fuel system capacity and combat load, and an open-air radio equipment architecture.

14. The MiG-29K / KUB has a modern multipurpose multi-mode pulse-Doppler on-board radar Zhuk-ME, a multichannel optical-radar station and a target designation system for passive homing anti-radar missiles.

15. The armament complex includes air-to-air and air-to-surface guided missiles, adjustable bombs, unguided missiles, aerial bombs, and an integrated 30-mm gun. In the photo - her layout. This gun did not show us.

A good report - gorgeous photos, I watched with pleasure, I am glad that young people are at the enterprise.

[ATATA]

Judging by the text, this report is a reprint from 2011.
"10. The general director of the company, Sergei Korotkov, told reporters that MiG plans to conclude a contract for the supply of MiG-29K / KUB carrier-based fighters for the Russian Navy by the end of 2011."
And yet, what was noted in these ancient photographs is not visible new gliders, only repairs.
In general, Mig Poghosyan has almost strangled. It is not clear where our leaders are looking. It turns out we do not need competition in military aircraft?

[Forget]

ATATA,
The MiG is a formidable competitor, and the MiGs were the first to come up with this glider scheme.

[ATATA]

Yes, but you won’t go far on your old luggage (the last brand new aircraft was created more than 35 years ago). And it will be very difficult to revive it, the connection between generations of designers is broken and, in general, after this article, Mig became even sadder. IMHO.

This is just NEW twinks ..... and fundamentally new - this is an underwater spaceship .....
and there is no need to revive anything ...... on Sokol everything is fine just to pay s / n on time and taking into account compensations of both inflationary processes and economically unjustified ones !!! you just need to modernize the fixed assets to carry out and reconsider wages ..... young people are already with experience, so do not write nonsense

[ATATA]

))) Eyes develop tanker !!!
Every glider is there, is this a major overhaul, or are you blind?
The fundamental difference is the Su-27 and T-50. And for Mig, that you don’t need to bring the Mig-35, the glider is seriously modernized from the Mig 29 but not fundamentally new.

[ATATA]

This airframe scheme was first used on the Grumman F-14 Tomcat aircraft for the first flight in 1970.
But this does not beg for the superior qualities of Mig 29.

[ATATA]

And besides minuses there are other arguments? )))
Show your patriotism with knowledge.

[dmitreach]

"This scheme" is what ??? the moment 25 in 1964 studied the sky. also a two-keel monoplane, but I don’t remember that it had a variable sweep wing, like the Su 27 and MiG 29. Well, if “plus or minus a kilometer” is not a difference for you, then you are too lazy to comment. Yak2 is also a two-keel monoplane, so by the way ...

[ATATA]

Quote: dmitreach

"This scheme" is what ???

For those in the tank! Integral layout (scheme), called the layout of the aircraft, when "the wing smoothly mates with the fuselage, forming a single bearing body."
And here Mig 25 I don’t understand at all ??? !!!
Who told you that Mig 29 and Su 27 have variable sweep? Maybe you wanted to say variable sweep?
Yak 2 ?? !! O_o
Why did you write all this? Do you like to demonstrate your ignorance? Or out of a childish spirit of contradiction?

[dmitreach]

yes ... a bad case ... I do not like to explain jokes. (((
for those who are painfully wise: read articles about Grumman F-14 “Tomcat” and then realize how this scheme compares with the MiG29 and Su27. hint: Gruman has a variable sweep wing ...

There is only so)) Minus.

Competition in the aircraft industry has long overcome national boundaries and entered the international level, but of course competition between the design bureaus is necessary IMHO.

[yurasumy]

And I just almost did not see youth. That kid at the table in the shirt is a correspondent. I see. All MIG employees in special uniforms. And besides him, I saw only one person (under 40 judging by face control). This is just bad.

[FID]

Correspondent and shop manager ... very possibly, very much.

[arslan1339]

Of course, except that everything is out of date. to advance in science you need to find mistakes and most importantly recognize them. not Americans all the time to slander

[Wedmak]

Yes, interesting photos. It is clogged with equipment to the eyeballs, and in some places after the final installation you can’t put your hand in it.

[FID]

Not only every gram of weight is saved, but also every liter of space! In the sense of 1000 cubic centimeters!

[virm]

I am not an expert in the field of aircraft production, but the pictures are simply amazing with the wretchedness of the technological process.
Photo 3. Not quite clean clothes and staff shoes. It is clearly seen that the installation is very inconvenient.
photo 6. Lady with a brush.
photo 14. A man is reading something in a notebook. This is probably the documentation. On a notebook !!! Where are the computers, laptops?
photo 15. The cart on which the gun is probably from the 19th century.
photo 20. Dirty walls of the room.
Well, of course, at least such a production workshop is better than a consumer goods warehouse in its place. With jamshuts.

[Wedmak]

Not quite clean clothes and staff shoes. It is clearly seen that the installation is very inconvenient.

You are not doing micron chips. Of course it’s not convenient - they won’t especially go for a half-assembled glider. And about the wretchedness of those. process - it's interesting to hear your opinion on how it should look.

A man is reading something in a notebook. This is probably the documentation. On a notebook !!! Where are the computers, laptops?

What for? To see how to twist the cable into a bundle? Or how to screw the device into place? The collector should generally know this from memory.

The cart on which the gun is probably from the 19 century.

The cart should be made of titanium? Or mahogany?

About dirty walls and a lady with a brush just touched.

Hello Denis! Yes, for many, real production does not look like office work. In the assembly shop, at the place where the aircraft is assembled, both hydraulics and power supply are supplied. And hydraulics are hydraulic fluids (colloquially called oil). A lady with a brush glues the fuselage holes with fiberglass to eliminate the so-called sharp edges, to prevent damage to the feeder. Therefore, work clothes may get dirty. Nevertheless, no oil drips or chips are visible. In the notebook, of course, is not documentation, but to imagine a fitter with a laptop is still a picture. In one hand, a drill, in the other a mouse, an interesting idea of ​​production.

[yurasumy]

FID
+ 100!
It can be seen that the comrade was never in the workshop. And judges this from Hollywood commercials (in the sense of films).

[Antistaks]

According to the rules, the collector (regardless of his memory) should work on a piece of paper. At us the collector caught at work IN MEMORY received the distrust of the representative customers and automatically left.

[tupolev-95]

You have not seen what is happening in the troops. Ground service facilities can only be written off, but there are no new ones.

[tupolev-95]

If you are minus, then at least write why. And if there are a lot of specialists here, let's argue that I’ve been in the Air Force for 14 years, changed 3 types of planes, the last 5 years just on the Mig-29 and I know all the problems firsthand.

[klimpopov]

Well, for example.

And so at Sukhoi in Novosibirsk

And it used to be

The walls are not dirty - these are streaks of resin (a hole in the roof was patched). As for the rest, you still have not seen the toilets on the Rostov Appliance.

virm, tell me, are you aware of what technocards are?
And for comparison, could you give a photo of the assembly of, say, F-16 or Rafale?
Let's compare how they do it in "civilized" countries.

Here is the most basic information from you, it was worth stopping at.
Let the experts speak out, and the "dummies" listen.

Or "Chukchi is not a reader"?

[Krilion]

and I would add a few dead-end details to the photo, to stimulate interest and spend money from the Chinese or other "partners" ...

[Wedmak]

Do not add file only. And then after all guess the damned ....

[skullcap]

And before the aircraft was made not a dead-end, and the conveyor method. Several hundred a year. It is time to restore production in full.
The amount that is available, with a serious opponent will end quickly. It is necessary to have an industrial base to quickly recover losses of the aircraft fleet in the event of a conflict with a probable enemy.
On the photos of such a base (even production areas) is not visible.
Thank you to India for even though it supports the MAPO.

[Strezhevchanin]

The age of rocket technology is such a cruel and merciless, for every turbine with labyrinths there are 2-3 rackets or maybe more.

[not good]

To do this, you need to reanimate 2-3 more plants.

And here a man with a notebook notebook duplicates

[FID]

Only in the picture is the assembly of the simulator, as I understand it, moreover, they are mounting a module already assembled somewhere. But as a carrier sits in a cart!

[Ahmar]

If this is a repair, then it’s understandable, but if the assembly is depressing, manual labor in this process, in principle, most of everything should be done by automation

[Wedmak]

Too laborious and non-linear process for automatic machines. Can cook the glider, some of its parts, but not the final assembly.

[FID]

The glider is not boiled (the only exception is the Tu-160 center wing. Titanium stampings were brewed). The glider is riveted. The Americans, too. But Simple brings pictures of the final assembly. They have a slightly different technology. Rivet in one place, then assemble the large modules, then the final assembly. But they check hydraulics and other dirty work elsewhere. At us, small details are riveted, which are then transferred to the slipway. Photos of slipways and are shown in the photo report. Next to each slipway, a yellow box is a pumping station. The whole tool is an air drive so that there is no sparking. According to our technologies, the READY and proven aircraft, suitable for the start of flight tests, is coming off the slipway. One of the advantages is that you do not need to transport bulky goods. Only small parts that can be easily replaced are moved. Therefore, our aircraft factories, assembly shops, look somewhat old-fashioned. But what kind of production - slipway or platform (import) - is better, this is still a question. But not for office managers, of course. Something like that, I think.

[Ilyich]

Quote: Ahmar

What kind of automation ?! Mama Mia! What are you speaking about???
I’m wondering: Have you ever done something more complicated than a birdhouse, did it yourself?
If not, then I will advise you this: make cardboard simple with scissors and glue simple plain ... say, an airship. Or just a barrel. Only with the condition that the glue line is everywhere uniform width.
Then you will talk about automation in the process of connecting parts having variable curvature in 2 planes.

[Simple]

And in this photo there is certainly a lady with a brush.
When working with adhesives without this, well, nothing.

[vardex]

this is the level of production culture

[Simple]

Well ... This is a funding issue.
Dem Rechnungshof des Kongresses zufolge kostete alleine die geplante Anschaffung von 2458 Flugzeugen für die drei Teilstreitkräfte fast 300 Milliarden Dollar (195 Milliarden Euro). Weitere 650 Milliarden Dollar (423 Milliarden Euro) würden für den Flugbetrieb und den Unterhalt der Maschinen in den nächsten Jahrzehnten veranschlagt. Hauptauftragnehmer ist Lockheed Martin Aeronautics in Fort Worth in Texas.

And amers only pay rent for a printing press.
It turns out, we are investing in the whole world.

[Nik_One]

The question is not about the "culture of production". If there was a clear plan and an order, for example, for the production of 1000 aircraft. A new workshop would be built for this business, then everything would be cool and modern. And if there are about a dozen waves in production Alans, then there is no point in getting out.

[Ustin]

Good day to all! So in life it happened that I have some idea about the assembly of L.A. My opinion on this report:
1 The number of articles with existing programs in the Assembly (if the correct organization and implementation) must correspond to the monthly release plus redistribution, i.e. with a plan of 30 products per year 3 + 1, taking into account modernizations and improvements, well, no more than 5-6, that is, the assembly must be empty! If not, then there are problems. In our photo and in reality it is considered if the products are "not to be put anywhere", then this is cool.
2. Assembly both in our country and the Americans is distinguished by a large amount of manual labor, so everything is normal from the photo. By the number of "old and young" it is not a fact, the average age of a fitter-assembler is considered normal 38-43 years, the level of work is 4-5 grade. and older, problems arise. It takes 3 to 5 years to get a qualified assembler (this is with a series) And where has Migrai recently had a series? The fact that young people appear is a sign that things have moved off the ground. Look, in five years, men will rise.
3. The current composition of the MIG leaders (this is my opinion) has its own view on the development of the Company, and it does not always coincide with the opinion, we will say the Center, but in most cases, men defend their positions.
4 By culture, it is clear that before the shooting the site was washed and cleaned, and this is understandable, in reality everything is somewhat worse, but in general it is quite worthy in the situation in which the Company is today.

[studentmati]

Soulful photos! It’s great that the assembly is still Slavic!

[Nymp]

The news is positive, but all of India, India, and Russia and its air force remain on the sidelines.

And why for Russia to produce aircraft?
Serdyukov brought the entire aviation of Russia to a minimum, nowhere else to go. Some ostentatious aerobatic teams remained for force.
All schools producing flight engineering personnel closed, left one flight each and one engineering in Voronezh, which had never before let out technical personnel for aircraft maintenance.
Specialists of aviation support services left the Voronezh school.
Yes, and in those schools, as in all other municipalities, 3 years did not accept cadets. It seems that this year there was some kind of recruitment, but why in aviation, when there is practically no military aviation in Russia. The Putin-Serdyukov doublet did everything for the army, including the Air Force.
