Polish Air Force received the first upgraded MiG-29A fighter

At the 23rd tactical base aviation The Polish Air Force (Minsk-Mazowiecki) on July 29 landed the first MiG-29A fighter with a modified avionics, Altair reports.

Delivery of the remaining upgraded 15 aircraft will be completed before the end of the 2014 year.

As TSAMTO had previously reported, the Armed Forces Inspectorate of the Ministry of National Defense of Poland signed a contract with the Aircraft Plant No. XXUMX (Wojskowe Zaklady Lotnicze 2) to carry out the 2 modernization of the 16 X fighter aircraft base in September 23. The agreement cost was 29 million zlotys (2011 million dollars).

As part of the agreement, the 13 single-seat MiG-29А fighters and three two-seater combat-fighting MiG-29UB will be upgraded.

The contract also provides for the supply of spare parts, aircraft maintenance, training of flight and technical staff. The goal of the upgrade is to extend the life of fighters, at least until 2028, to increase their combat capabilities and compatibility with the new F-16.

According to the requirements of the contract, the aircraft will be equipped with new avionics, including MDP on-board computers, MIL-Std-1553B data bus, INSB-29, AVB-29 and HDB-29 interfaces, a color multifunction display 127X102 mm, a navigation system with a module for protection from GPS interference signal SAASM (Selective Availability Anti-Spoofing Module).

As it is expected, the replacement of outdated analog equipment with modern systems will increase the reliability and reduce the weight of the aircraft, providing the possibility of increasing the bomb load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

According to the Polish Air Force, the delivery of a second aircraft with modernized avionics is due to take place shortly. The overflight of the modified MiG-29 is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2013.

                  Capacity for the repair and construction of aircraft was still Socialist Poland. And modernization here is not too global.
                  With regard to the availability of aircraft, Migi-29 Poland collected from almost all East European countries of the Department of Internal Affairs, namely the GDR, Czechoslovakia, and its own Poland.

            "Krasnaya Zvezda", after the unification of Germany, widely covered the fact of leaving the Luftwaffe in the service of the GDR's MiG-29. The conducted air battles with the pilots on the F-16 showed the full advantage of the MiGs. There was even a question about the advisability of developing Eurofighter.
            Well, the MiG’s modernization capabilities are evidenced by the fact that the MiG-35 was created. The glider underwent minor changes, installed new engines with a variable thrust vector, avionics and received aircraft with new performance characteristics and combat capabilities.
            Modernization is a way of maintaining BG for not very rich countries, such as the Republic of Poland.

      It may seem strange. But some experts suggest that some categories of LGBT people can be tougher, cruel and aggressive in the fight against representatives of traditional values, due to their anti-human nature, different psyche and desire to punish the "old" world. Of course, it's not about the Borya Moiseyevs, but about "people" with sadistic sexual and moral inclinations.

    It looks like the "psheks" ate their fill with 48 F-16s, bought from the staff a few years ago. There has already been an article that the "new" Polish F-16s turned out to be much less reliable and difficult to operate than MIGs. In addition, the contract with overseas patrons pulled from the Polish treasury, as usual in these cases, much more funds than was originally envisaged. Now they will have to sit on 2 chairs (MIG and F-16), which is not very uplifting for such a frail economy as the Polish one ...

    I have already cited this article, I will repeat it again, for all fans of Polish F-16s and the slogan "Polska has not died yet." I apologize for such extensive copy-paste:
    "In 2003, Poland purchased 48 fighters. Their cost is $ 3,6 billion. The total amount of the transaction, including pilot training and investments in the development of the necessary infrastructure, is about $ 6 billion."
    One of the conditions for the acquisition of American fighters was the consent of the United States to invest in the Polish economy an amount equal to the cost of aircraft.
    But despite the statements of representatives of the Polish government that the country receives the latest aircraft, problems with them immediately began. The first two fighters could not, as planned, fly nonstop from the United States to Poland. Due to engine problems, they had to land in Iceland.
    Faults were later. Fighters were forced to emergency land several times at a military airfield in the vicinity of Warsaw. According to the representative of the Polish Air Force Weslaw Grzegorzewski, in 2007 alone, 1700 accidents happened to American fighters. A spokesman for the Air Force says they were not serious. However, according to the publication Polska, many serious damage is recorded. They mainly relate to engines, navigation equipment, combat systems and rescue systems. At the same time, in Poland these problems are explained by the novelty of the aircraft provided by the USA.
    According to Piotr Laskowski, an expert at the Military Poland survey, it is not surprising that equipment of this kind often breaks down. This, in his opinion, is typical for all modern equipment that depends on electronics.
    Due to the increased accident rate of the F-16, the Polish Air Force leadership restricts their flights or allows them to be carried out if the problems are not very serious. Under these conditions, Polish pilots have to fly even without weapons on board, which causes criticism from the pilots themselves.
    The main reason for the restrictions on F-16 flights is the high cost of their repair. To date, the Polish Ministry of Defense has already spent, according to Polish media, about 120-170 million dollars for spare parts for fighters.
    The Polish military, apparently, did not expect that the operation of American aircraft would be so costly. Although independent experts on the eve of concluding an agreement with the United States warned about the capriciousness of American cars.
    As for the promised investments, as representatives of the United States say, about $ XNUMX billion has already arrived in the framework of the agreements on the supply of fighter jets to the Polish economy.
    According to Obywatel observers, most of this money went to purchase a number of aviation enterprises in Poland that were put up for privatization by the state.

      I will continue
      After buying them by American companies, according to the publication, they gradually lose their ability to independently produce aircraft. The manufacturing process is often limited to screwdriver assembly.
      Also, the difficulty lies in the fact that new planes from the United States arrive in Poland faster than pilots trained in Poland who can lift them into the air. According to the Ministry of National Defense, the Polish Air Force will need at least 48 pilots and 16 technicians to pilot and service 72 F-1348 planes. To date, the Polish Air Force has managed to train only 20 pilots. Another 29 Polish pilots are trained in the United States, but only 12 of them are learning to fly the F-16. The rest are preparing for this while attending English courses.
      According to the original plans, in 2011 all 72 F-16 pilots should serve in the Polish Air Force. However, it is now becoming clear that this group of pilots will be fully staffed only at the end of 2012, and thus, for almost a year, some of the combat vehicles purchased from the United States will simply stand on the ground, since there will be no one to lift them into the air.

      So, the Poles bought used fighters, but there is no money for spare parts, and pilots fly them. So the Poles had to hide their noble pride in the dupa and repair the totalitarian MiG-29, which remained a legacy from the "damned communist past and Russian occupation." And then there will be nothing to cover the airspace of "Rzhech Pospolita".

        Greetings. At the expense of MiGs - this is not a legacy, or rather only half of them. The second 41 tactical squadrons near Malbork are the German GDRs 29th (1 euro per unit) donated by Germany. Previously, MiG-21s made in Czechoslovakia were based there. And F-16s are based in 10 and 30 tactical squadrons.

          Big buoys pan Akim. Yak on your right, health tie? We are here a little bit with your colleague Kars on a branch about the disposal of T-64 encroached, well, nothing, truth is born in disputes. Polish MiG-29 is a special song. In 1989-1990, the USSR supplied 12 airplanes to the Psheks (9 fighters and 3 combat trainers). In 1995, the Czech Republic 9 fighter jets transferred to Poland in exchange for helicopters W-3 Sokół. In 2003-2004, the Germans handed over to the Poles 22 MiG-29s, which they inherited from the NNA of the German Democratic Republic and went through modernization in Russia in the 90s. That is, in the end, 43 fighters, now the Poles have 32 of them
          1. Pułk Lotnictwa Myśliwskiego based at Mińsk Mazowiecki operated MiG-29 (9.12A) and MiG-29UB (9.51) between 1989 and 2000. Unit was reorganized to 1. ELT.
          1.eskadra lotnictwa taktycznego based at Mińsk Mazowiecki operates MiG-29 (9.12A) and MiG-29UB (9.51) from 2001.

In the 97th, three were transferred for temporary use to Israel. Only 14 flying aircraft were bought from Germany, the rest with accessories. May 5, 2011 the aircraft with tail number 77, made an emergency landing and was decommissioned. Here and count. One is not enough, but you can monitor.
