Flight tests of the first modernized MiG-29 Polish Air Force began

The Polish Air Force Command announced the start of flight tests of the first MiG-29 fighter, upgraded at the facilities of Aviation Plant No. XXUMX (Bydgosch).

The plane was piloted by the commander of the 22nd tactical base group aviation Lt. Col. Leszek Bіach. In total, three pilots of the 22nd and 23rd air bases, who completed the necessary training course, were allowed to perform test flights. Test management is carried out by the representatives of the contractor. One of a series of test flights involves checking weapons systems at the 21st Central Training Ground "Nadazice".

As reported TSAMTO, Inspectorate of arms of the Ministry of National Defense of Poland in September 2011, signed with the Aviation Plant №2 (Wojskowe Zaklady Lotnicze 2) a contract for the modernization of the armament 16 23-th base tactical aviation (Minsk Mazowiecki) MiG-29 fighters.

As part of the agreement, 13 single-seat fighter jets (9-12A) and three two-seater combat-fighting MiG-29UB (9-51A) will be upgraded. The goal of the modernization is to extend the life of the aircraft, at least until the 2030, to increase their combat capabilities and compatibility with the new F-16 fighter jets. The cost of the agreement is estimated at 126 million zlotys (44,5 million dollars). Works must be completed in 2014 year.

According to the requirements of the contract, the aircraft will be equipped with new avionics, including on-board computers, Mil 1553 data transmission bus, a module for protecting the SAASM GPS (Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module) signal from interference. A new chassis should be supplied by an unnamed American company.

As it is expected, the replacement of outdated analog equipment with modern systems will increase the reliability of the aircraft and reduce its weight, providing the possibility of increasing the bomb load and fuel reserves.

"The new chassis must be supplied by an unnamed US company."

It is necessary to buy from the Germans, from the decommissioned "Tornado".

I don’t think it will be a chassis, only rollers are possible. No more,

Volodya. Even this .. will not, because. modernization is carried out by RSK "MiG" .. which American chassis
The modernization is carried out by the type .. "half of UPG", ie. the analogue changes to digital, navigation to lasers (gyroscopes in IKV), they put the computer Baguette, MFI, and so on .... the locator is not "touched" yet!

conclusion ... on one F-16m, foolishly bought from amers .. not far away

That's just not clear (or rather, just understandable) why ours are not brought to the UPG's level, not to mention the SMT .... and after all .. "promised"

Greetings to Sergey. You have clearly expressed yourself before this, until Uncle says

Uncle is still listening to what is in the ears .. Misha is "blowing" from the UAC!

And all the same M4 is good ... wow .. good .. will have to again ... 100 grams .. for memories! And we don’t have such anymore ... actually ....

[queen]

Excuse me, is this the SU-17M4?

[VAF]

Quote: regin

is it SU-17M4?

Yes, Volodya, she is the most I wrote in the comments above ..M4



they have 3s, only Su-17UM-3. and so all 4s, and before that there were Su-17M-2

[queen]

Would also but today no how. as soon as that)

100 gr .. on the calculation .. do not affect!

[queen]

As I understand from DRY, they are not going to give up in the near future, But here I am tormented by the question, We have a green disc rim and "them" are white)))) not a good question, but still)))))

[sashka]

Amers buy from us .. Apparently the Poles directly to us are "inconvenient" .. And so you look, and you can get enough of it ..

[PISTOL]

I hope we do not supply spare parts for our planes in Poland

[Dwarfik]

Good Hmm, survived, combining the Mig-29 with the F-16)) Modernization of 16 aircraft for 44 million and an extension to 2030? Although you can stand in the hangar at least until 2050, and there will also be a missile defense segment and everything will be fine.

[sashka]

It turns out version 6.0 +++ with three oak leaves .. and crosses

[Wedmak]

But the engines are not going to change? From F-16? ... since they want compatibility with it ..

[queen]

I’m wondering, Poland is in NATO, where do they get the engines from? Or have they put a huge amount there since the USSR ... or are we supplying now? Most likely this is purely business (((((

From Mars from the landfill and everything will be the way

[B_KypTke]

I remember when in the union for a long time pi ... yuk glued model airplanes then decals of all Warsaw Pact countries were enclosed there ... and I chose Polish because the stars wound around the stars and torn at times.
Now I saw Pshek identification marks .. and it inspired.

The whole world we graze about titanium .. One way or another to us ... Again, brains peck.

[elmi]

Despite all the anti-Russian policies, the planes decided to leave, did not switch to American

[queen]

And for what money? For this money for modernization, they will acquire the floor of the FU-16, or the NATO base, the Poles will not be allowed to fly.

[Nagaibak]

Looks peppered them once they decided to upgrade ours. Hehe ... but what about Polish pride?

[Ragnarek]

have the Poles learned to fly?

[Wedmak]

Now, now ... So that the Russians do not see. And then after all, Russian complexes ... all sorts ...

[askort154]

Quote..Ragnarek .... did the Poles learn to fly?

After the assassination of the president, it may have dawned on the need for further training.

[Wedmak]

After the assassination of the president

Did you want to say after an unsuccessful landing?

[askort154]

Quote..wedmak ... did you want to say after an unsuccessful landing?

This is not an unsuccessful landing, but an absolute unprofessional action
crew in preparation for flight and in the process of approach. Stupidly killed
yourself and the passengers. To kill the president in a plane crash, such even in a weak
developed countries did not happen. (One was a case in Africa on a Tu-134, our crew "drove" up the mountain through no fault of their own, with the President of the African Republic)

Greetings, Sergey! Yes, when we were in Warsaw. And now, when investigating the disaster with the president, it turned out that the Polish Air Force

Are you Roman Abramovich? Only it is unlikely that he will fly where anti-aircraft guns shoot ...

Now the money doesn’t smell. Maybe EVERYTHING. And not the fact that we DO NOT SUPPLY the chassis for F s. Boeing and beads live on our titanium ..

[lelyk72]

the modernization of 16 aircraft for 44 million greens ....... Something tells me that in Russia, for the Russian Air Force, a similar modernization is much more expensive .... Who can enlighten the thread?

[Andrey57]

Well, if you change the interface bus and the processor to NATO ones, then it will cost about so much, but the fact that this is "Modernization" is simply very loudly said - it's just an improvement in data exchange with amerovskoy aircraft and data exchange systems during control, therefore they only change interface bus.

[Black Colonel]

"and compatibility with new F-16 fighters" And when did the F-16 become new? Well, yes, he is a super novelty for pshek.

[knyazDmitriy]

yes they are prostitutes.

[Geisenberg]

Another unlicensed craft? I wonder who the author of the modification is it?

[jagdpanzer]

damn at first rejoiced and then read that in Poland .. and their own are quietly falling apart without engines

[Odysseus]

It is not entirely clear who ultimately modernizes, and the question of the American chassis and use until 2030 is completely incomprehensible.
