Belarus will update the MiG-29

43
Belarus will update the MiG-29Next year, it is planned to resume work on the modernization of MiG-29 fighters for the Belarusian air force, said the deputy chief engineer of 558 aviation repair plant »Alexander Vorobey.

“It is planned that in the 2014 year the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Belarus will order the modernization of the MiG-29. Belarus has no opportunity to buy new fighters. Earlier, four fighters were upgraded, which are in service with the Belarusian Air Force, ”said Sparrow. He noted that the MiG-29 fighters for foreign air forces are also being upgraded at the plant. "Modernization of the MiG-29 is made in the process of overhaul, as the plane understands and easier to upgrade," - said the deputy chief engineer 558 ARZ. According to him, during the modernization, the on-board locator is refined: a “bypass channel” is being installed, which allows the fighter to not only “work” through the air, but also to detect and destroy ground targets. “In addition, improvements are being made to the management system weapons (LMS) and minimally improved cockpit with the installation of one multifunctional indicator, which displays navigation information and data of the LMS, ”added Sparrow. According to him, at present, ten Su-27 fighters for the Air Force of Belarus and for foreign customers have also been upgraded.

      Why in Belarus this prototype at the moment? request
      That's when they finish it, it will be mass-produced, and then you can think.

      Now you can actually place the Su-30, Su-35, Su-34. Although so far they are too few supplied for our Air Force.

    In Belarus, generally tight with aviation. Over the past few years, the Belarussian Air Force has written off more than fifty combat aircraft units, not counting helicopters, while at the same time having purchased absolutely zero aircraft.

    2 MiG-29 squadrons remained throughout the country. Su-27 was removed from service. The Su-24 is being removed from service and, together with the Su-25, it is being sold to blacks.
    1. Not so long ago, a plane flew from Lithuania to Belarus, flew to Minsk, circled around, scattered campaign materials and flew away. "Air Defense" of Belarus did not see him.
    2. In zero in Belarus there was a huge scandal associated with falsifications of internal checks of the air defense system. Nobody really tested and tested the system. This is the real level of air defense of the republic, and not what they are trying to show in Ashuluk with all their might.

      It is difficult for Belarus to create a full-fledged aviation group, according to financial capabilities, it is easier for them to deploy our air base on its territory. And it is not unprofitable for them, and we are covering the western direction more reliably.

      Wow. What kind of collisions are it in Belarus. Yes, the light-weighted Swedish plane overslept, but then hard conclusions followed.
      Do you think that the real state of Russian air defense is better? I hasten to inform you that it’s worse. And that they write off junk, they’re doing it right. Firstly, we are still in the Union State. Secondly, it’s better than ours, when hundreds of planes are listed as part of the Air Force to the delight of ordinary people, but in reality they are suitable of which from the strength of 40 percent.

          "Alexander Zelin, speaking at a press conference, said that threats to the country's security from the airspace are the most significant, and added that the current state of the aerospace defense elements is assessed by representatives of the air force as" critical. "
          According to the commander-in-chief, there is a lack of forces and assets in the Air Force that provide for the tasks of aerospace defense. Zelin considers it necessary to accelerate the integration of air defense forces, missile and space defense and electronic warfare into a single aerospace defense system "
          Since then, the situation has improved, but not significantly.

        Uncle. and the size of the countries as it is not in one weight category. To provide a closed sky for Belarus, 3 regiments with-300PMU and 36 launchers of cover are needed, which in general is (Buk-M2E and Tor-M2E). For the outline of the borders - our base. All, for 10-15 years, all dangerous areas are covered. If "Sky-U" is deployed, so in general. It remains only to wait for our new electronic warfare, which in general is about a couple of years.

          Undoubtedly, but this is what we are talking about - in terms of air defense, the territory of Belarus is covered better than the territory of Russia (except for Moscow). If you call the air defense of Belarus "full of holes", then what to call ours?

        Belarus provides stability on the western borders. It has one of the most combat-ready armies in Europe.
        In the space from Riga to Kiev, only Belarusian air defense systems monitor the situation and inform Moscow. Belarus has preserved a unique center that records any take-off of an airplane over 2,5 thousand kilometers, i.e. from almost any airport in Europe.
        Currently, 180 Russian defense enterprises maintain contacts with 120 factories of the Belarusian defense industry.
        Almost half of Belarusian exports are consumed by developed countries of the European Union, America, Southeast Asia, and China.
        More than 90% of the Republic provides its population with high-quality food products of its own production.
        Belarus became the first among the CIS countries to restore the 1990 level of GDP, the only country in the CIS to double its GDP over the past fifteen years.
        Belarus takes the first place among the CIS states in the production of meat and milk per capita.

        The leadership of Belarus is convinced that without strong state power no reforms are feasible and only such power in the transition economy provides stability, regulation and coordination of all transformation processes.
        But I do not live in Belarus, but in Armenia, but there is something to be praised for Old Man.

      I would not say that so tight.

      As of august 2013

      Su-27 20pcs.
      Su-27UB Su-27UBM-1 3 pieces
      MiG-29 / MiG-29BM 40 pieces
      MiG-29UB 1
      Su-25 70 pieces
      Su-25UB 6 pieces
      IL-76M 4 pieces
      An-26 6 pieces.
      L-39 10 pcs.

      More on fatal drugs.
      On May 23, 1996, a Su-27 crashed during a training flight. Pilot Lieutenant Colonel Vladimir Karvat, head of the air-firing and tactical training of the 61st fighter air base, took the falling car away from the village and was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of Belarus [6].
      On May 24, 1997, during a training flight, the Su-17 crashed, the pilot, the chief of the flight test station of the 558th aircraft repair plant, Lieutenant Colonel Sergei Pogreban died [6] [7].
      On August 30, 2009, a Su-27UBM crashed during a speech at an air show in Poland. Both crew members were killed - the deputy commander of the Western operational-tactical command of the Air Force and Air Defense Forces, Colonel Alexander Marfitsky and the deputy commander of the 61st fighter air base, Colonel Alexander Zhuravlevich [8].
      On November 29, 2011, a Mi-24 helicopter crashed near Pruzhany, killing three people [9].
      On June 12, 2012, near the Neman training ground (Novogrudok district), the SU-25 (42 white) aircraft from the 116th assault air base crashed. The pilot, the chief of the combat training department of the air base - the chief of the air-fire and tactical training of the air base, a 1st-class military pilot, Lieutenant Colonel Nikolai Gridnev, born in 1975, died.

      Not so much to consider that from May 1997 to 2009, there were no aircraft accidents in the Air Force and Air Defense Forces of Belarus.

      In 2005 Belarusians upgraded the MiG-29. One of the main differences between the modernized MiG-29BM fighter and the serial MiG-29 is the expanded nomenclature of weapons. Under the wing of the aircraft, along with the usual R-73 melee missiles, are KAB-500Kr adjustable bombs and B-13L unguided missile blocks, a modernized information-control field of the MiG-29BM pilot’s cabin, based on it is an MFI-55 color multifunctional liquid crystal indicator, located in place of the standard television indicator IPV-2
      RVV-AE, R-27ER and R-27ET medium-range missiles are additionally introduced into the air-to-air weapons (before that, the MiG-29 provided for the use of only medium-range missiles R-27R and R-27T, as well as short-range missiles battle R-73 and R-60M). RVV-AE missiles have an inertial guidance principle with radio correction and active radar homing in the final section. On the MiG-29BM they can be suspended up to six pieces. The “energy” R-27ER and R-27ET missiles have an increased (in comparison with the R-27R and R-27T) launch range. The first has inertial guidance with radio correction in the initial phase of the flight and semi-active radar homing in the final, the second is equipped with a thermal homing head. Both can be suspended on a modernized fighter in two pieces (on the internal underwing pylons).

        Vadim, let's start with the fact that the Su-27 are in storage about their fate, I already wrote in a comment from 13.52:
        On December 7, 2012, at the Baranavichy Belarusian airdrome (Brest region), the solemn construction of the personnel of the 61st fighter air base of the Air Force and Belorussian Air Defense Forces was carried out, during which the official withdrawal of Su-27 fighters from the air force and air defense forces of the republic took place.

        http://bmpd.livejournal.com/407154.html

        Regarding the MiG-29, I wrote that there are 38 units in Belarus, you indicate that 41, the difference is insignificant. Su-24 removed from service in February 2012.
        About Su-25, Wikipedia says there are 23 Su-25 and another 20 Su-25 in storage.
        http://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92%D0%BE%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%BE-%D0%B2%D0%BE%D

        Now we look, in 1992, Belarus had in the 206th OSHAP, 378th OSHAP and 397th OSHAP-93 Su-25. Of these, sold: to Sudan-13 Su-25 and 2 Su-25UB in 2008-2010, the Sudanese Air Force "recently" received an additional batch of Su-25 attack aircraft from Belarus, 4 Su-25 and 2 Su-25UB were sold to Cote D Ivoire ; 18 Su-25s were sold in Peru, 5 Su-25s were sold to Azerbaijan, 10 were sold in Congo, that is, it is already 54, that is, even without taking into account the additional Sudanese consignment, there are 39, another one crashed in an accident - 38. So. that Belarus simply cannot have 70 Su-25s.
        IL-76- Wikipedia says the presence in the Air Force of Belarus 1. In 2010 FSUE "Rosoboronexport" from the Air Force of China for the purchase of 10 used Il-76MD / TD aircraft, of which: three Il-76MD aircraft were taken from the presence of the Russian Air Force , two Il-76MD - from the presence of the Air Force of Belarus, and three Il-76TD - from the fleet of the Belarusian airline "Transaviaexport". Well, count it.

            Vadim, your link is for 2010
            Data on the number of aircraft used by the Air Force of the Republic of Belarus is taken from IISS Military Balance 2010:
            Since then, a lot of water has flowed under the bridge. Belarusian Su-27s are still in storage. I already wrote about the Su-25, they only remained in 1992 after the collapse of the USSR on the territory of Belarus, consisting of 3 OSHAP-93 units, I also cited the figures for deliveries to other countries, plus the wear and tear of the resource and "cannibalism" caused by the lack of spare parts. Therefore, the figure from Viki 23 Su-25 in service and another 20 Su-25 in storage, it seems to me more plausible. The same applies to the Il-76s. As for the Belarusian modification of the MiG-29-MiG-29BM:
            specialists from the Russian design bureau "Russian avionics" were widely involved in these works. The developments of this particular team were introduced aboard the first prototype aircraft under the MiG-29SMT program, which entered testing in 1997. Later, however, the Russian Air Force decided to abandon the proposed version of the MiG-29 modernization, reorienting to another contractor for integrating the updated ' board '. A similar fate befell the joint proposal of Russian Avionics and IAPO for the modernization of Su-27 and Su-30 fighters: the experimental Su-27UBM and Su-30KN that implemented such modifications did not find further support in Russia. Since 27, the modernization of the Su-2003 combat aircraft of the Russian Air Force has been carried out according to a different "scenario" and by a different composition of performers. And the updated Russian program MiG-29SMT has not yet seen a real embodiment in the country's air force and the modernized MiG-29SMT were released exclusively for export under contracts with Yemen and Eritrea.
            Nevertheless, the developments obtained by Russian Avionics were not in vain: in the early 2000s, the Belarusian military became interested in them, setting the task of modernizing part of their aircraft fleet. As a result, in a short time, the forces of the 558th ARZ in Baranovichi, with the active participation of Russian specialists, converted and tested three samples of modernized aircraft and helicopters at once - the MiG-29BM and Su-27UBM1 fighters, as well as the Mi-8MTKO1 multipurpose transport and combat helicopter. Tests of the MiG-29BM (aircraft '9-11') were successfully completed by July 2003, and the plant in Baranovichi began deliveries of the first modernized MiGs of the Republic Air Force. The aircraft are taken directly from the combat unit and, after revision, are returned back to the 61st air base, at the same time, in accordance with the current operational documentation, the necessary repair work is performed on them.

In May 2012, a military delegation from Vietnam visited the 558th aircraft repair plant in Baranovichi, which expressed its readiness to purchase all 18 aircraft. The price for which Russia is ready to part with heavy fighters is so attractive that Vietnam, which is accustomed to purchasing exclusively new equipment, is ready to begin negotiations on the acquisition of already used Sukikhs. If Vietnam starts specific negotiations, for the first time since the establishment of the state monopoly Rosoboronexport, two Russian aircraft manufacturing enterprises will compete on the market of one country at once. At the end of November 2011, all 18 Su-30K fighters that were in service with the Indian Air Force were delivered by military transport aircraft to the territory of Belarus, where they are planned to be repaired and modernized to the Su-30KN version with subsequent sale. Since in 1996 Russia, purely technically, could not immediately create 18 newest Su-30MKI fighters, India was asked to purchase the same number of aircraft, but in a simplified version - Su-30K. But with the proviso that later they will be replaced with the same number of full-fledged Su-30MKIs, and the Su-30K fighters will return to Russia and become the property of the manufacturer - the Irkut corporation. New fighters were delivered, and the old ones ended up not in Russia, but in Belarusian Baranovichi: this allowed Irkut to avoid paying customs duties for importing aircraft into the Russian Federation. For all "Belarusian" fighters, Russia plans to gain at least $ 270 million (about $ 15 million per unit, taking into account the modernization), which, compared to the market value of 18 new Su-30 aircraft (over $ 1 billion), looks like an insignificant amount. Among the countries interested in such a lucrative offer were named Sudan, Vietnam, as well as Belarus itself, which sought to renew its air force fleet with minimal use of funds (in particular, to replace outdated Su-27 aircraft). However, the Russian Ministry of Finance refused to issue a loan to Minsk for their purchase, and Belarus was unable to pay even this amount on its own. Vietnam was the first to take real steps towards the start of negotiations, and Sudan is now being considered as a kind of backup option.

      Belarus has taken an extremely balanced position, based on its financial capabilities, they are working on the MiG as the main platform of the Air Force / Air Defense. And I must say without any special show-off they modernized the "working boards", while some loudly announced "cool prototypes." the situation is stabilizing a little, I think the modernization process will go quite rhythmically.

        Excuse me, why did Belarusians need the Su-30, they and the Su-27 were removed from service:
        7 December 2012 of the Belarusian airfield Baranavichy (Brest region) was solemnly built the personnel of the 61 fighter air base and air defense troops of Belarus, during which the official withdrawal of Su-27 fighters from the air force and air forces of the republic took place. Equipped with Su-27 fighters 1 Squadron 61 fighter airbase 1 December 2012 was disbanded. After that, only two squadrons equipped with MiG-61 fighters remained in the 29 of the Belarusian fighter air base, which represent the entire fighter aircraft of the republic.
        The further fate of the decommissioned 61 th fighter airbase of the Belarusian Su-27 aircraft is not yet known. However, it should be noted that in the year 2010 it was reported about the plans of the private company ECA Program registered in the Netherlands (the company's website) to rent a preserved Keflavik airbase from Iceland and buy Su-27 airplanes in Belarus and use them for training Air Force of various countries. ECA Program co-owner Melville Kate then claimed that the company had an agreement with Beltechexport on the purchase of 15 Su-27 aircraft and an option for another 18 fighter.

        http://bmpd.livejournal.com/407154.html

        That is, only MiG-29s will remain in the role of interceptors, of which the Belarusians have about 38. Su-24s have already been removed from service and sold to Sudan, and now the Su-27s. Moreover, the Su-27 is more expensive and more difficult to operate than the MiG-29, yes, their service life is seriously knocked out, both in the airframe and in the engines. We need a full-fledged expensive repair, new engines. We decided not to do this, but just write it off .. Yes, and Belarus has nowhere to go but to "disarm." Until recently, she had about 160 combat aircraft in the Air Force. This is a country with a GDP four times less than Portugal and almost an order of magnitude less than Poland. It's funny to talk about something. It is good if the Belarusians can pull a maximum of 40-50 combat aircraft. This, of course, if they can really be flown and really modernized, etc.

            Dear Odysseus, Belarus has long ago refused to receive them, and it does not have resources for them. Moreover, if the dad wanted the Su-30 in addition, it would be more logical to keep 4 upgraded Su-27UBM1s at home, and to sell only not upgraded Su-27Ps, but it seems that all Sushki were written off. Su-27 / Su-30 is too expensive, that's the thing. Its flight hour is much more expensive than the MiG-29. Not without reason in Ukraine, even to obtain the current scanty raid, the L-39 is used as a surrogate substitute for the regular, but expensive to operate Su-27, Su-24, Su-25. Belarusians also had the opportunity to maintain cars in flight form, but there is not enough money to operate it. And the Su-27 has become too expensive a toy for Belarus. While they are planning to purchase 4 Yak-130 and strengthen air defense.
            According to the agreement, in 2015 OJSC “Irkut Corporation” will deliver 4 combat training aircraft to our country.

        Dear Sergey, already when Lukashenko was in power there was such an unpleasant incident:
        In late December 1994, an An-124 Ruslan heavy transport aircraft delivered a secret cargo to the Redstone Air Force Base (Alabama). The next day, a sensational article appeared in the Washington Post, claiming that this cargo was nothing more than components of the latest Russian S-300 system, allegedly sold by Belarus through the state-owned company Beltechexport. In a series of subsequent publications, it was said that the deal was carried out bypassing Moscow and inflicting incomparable damage to it: the S-300 PMU missile system allegedly ended up in the United States. This is one of the latest variants of the S-300 with a high potential for combating both aerodynamic targets traditional for air defense systems and those that have a ballistic trajectory.

        More:

        I remind Shushkevich left the post of Chairman of the Supreme Soviet of the Republic of Belarus on January 26, 1994. Plus politics: Lukashenka did not recognize Abkhazia and Ossetia, on the contrary, he contributed to the organization of a "Georgian train" to Moscow.
        For years, he received oil duty free and drove it to the left, it was worth closing it - so he began to steal through solvents and thinners. He received loans, promising to privatize part of his industry - and then threw it. And there are thousands of such examples. Yours faithfully! hi

Isn't Belarus our main ally? Our officials sold much more to the same Chinese, including C-300, having obtained clones and competition from Chinese pirate crafts. Under Yeltsin, I remember that T-80 was presented to the British as a kind of gesture of openness, and, obviously, a lot more was squandered. I do not condone the plot with C-300PMU in the 1994 year, but now Belarus should be more important to us than Vietnam, and, especially, Sudan. Finally, these airplanes could leave their planes at such a price.

            Here is a moot point, at one time we adopted 32 MiG-29s from the Algerian contract, which Algeria refused, but these were NEW aircraft, as for the Indian Su-30, they were already in operation. So, Sudan and Vietnam are not a bad option for them. As for Belarus, the big question is where the decommissioned Belarusian Su-27s will go, I already gave the link above how they were going to use them:
            in 2010, plans were announced for the Netherlands-registered private company ECA Program (company website) to rent a canned air base in Keflavik from Iceland and to buy Su-27 aircraft in Belarus and use them for air force training in various countries. ECV Program co-owner Melville Kate then claimed that the company had an agreement with Beltexport for the purchase of 15 Su-27 aircraft and an option for another 18 fighter.

            So, it is likely that they will train the Air Force of our sworn friends. Moreover, they already have a similar experience:
            In 2009, the United States purchased from Ukraine. The Pentagon acquired two Su-27 fighters from the Ukrainian Air Force. The US military Internet portal www.strategypage.com reported on the deal with the Ukrainian Air Force. Now the US military command has the opportunity with the help of these fighters to prepare and train their pilots to effectively counteract "drying" in the air.

      Yes, okay, Akim, I heard that Serbia wants to buy just the MiG-29 from us, and the annual report of RSK MiG for 2012 seems to confirm this:
      Active work was also carried out:
      jointly with Rosoboronexport, to promote the MiG-29M / M2 aircraft to Serbia and Croatia

      http://alexeyvvo.livejournal.com/33402.html

      Moreover, the Serbs are interested in the Su-30. After the end of the war with NATO in June 2000, a senior Yugoslav delegation visited Moscow. During the visit, a very experienced pilot, Colonel Mirceta Yokanovich, together with Sergey Bogdan, flew on a Su-30MK fighter.
      Colonel Mircheta Yokanovich and test pilot Sergei Bogdan in front of the second prototype of the Su-30MKK (tail number "502"), June 2000 (c) Svetozar Yokanovich

      The delegation concluded that the Su-30 is exactly the fighter that Yugoslavia needs, and in its conclusions recommended it for purchase by the national air force. This idea hovered for several months after the removal of President Milosevic, but it soon became clear that the new Serbian government would not buy weapons from Russia. It is interesting that for the first time the Yugoslav pilots saw the Su-30 back in 1997 at the air show in Batajnice.
      Su-30 (tail number "52") at the air show in Batainitsa, 1997 (c) Vojska

      However, in 2010, the idea of ​​purchasing new fighters returned again. The Serbian Air Force considered the MiG-29M2 fighter as the best offer on the criterion of "cost-effectiveness". On the other hand, there were complaints about the quality of service of the armed Russian MiG-29s.
      When there were reports that Russia was planning to deliver MiG-29M2 fighters to Syria, and Serbia would have to wait two years for its turn, the option of purchasing Su-30K fighters (stored in Baranovichi) that had been in operation was considered. Currently, Su fighters are considered by the Serbian command as more efficient than the MiG-29, on the other hand, additional costs are required for the retraining of the flight and technical personnel, as well as ground infrastructure. But at the same time, according to the Serbian side, it will not have as many problems with the maintenance and supply of spare parts, as was the case with the MiG fighters.
      According to:
      http://bmpd.livejournal.com/555088.html#comments

      At the same time, the MiG-29M2 is still considered the best option, and the fate of its supplies in Serbia depends on the fulfillment of the Syrian contract.

          SAAB did not answer.
          The Chinese, although they were not asked, provided information on the J-10A and FC-1.
          After studying the information, proposals were requested from everyone except SAAB and the Chinese. Moreover, the unrealized Yugoslav project of the 4th generation fighter Novi Avion was closely connected with the Rafale, which, as it were, hints that they might try to buy French technology.

    For me it would be better to modernize and produce in large quantities the moment 29 and su 27, than to spend money on all these su 35 and especially 50 tons.

    There are 2 arguments in favor of this opinion: the latest fighters are prohibitively expensive and many of them will not be purchased for this reason. Hence the second argument: quality does not compensate for quantity. Something I doubt that 1 su 35 will cope with 2 su 27. The same is true for the American f 22. Even if this is really a super-combat machine, there are only 187 of them in mattresses and there will be no more. About f 35 I do not say at all, laughter and nothing more. In general, the basis of the US Air Force in the next 10 to 15 years will be various modifications of f 15 and f 16. Despite the fact that they are physically old, albeit modernized.
