Ukraine disrupts the repair of the Croatian MiG-21bis fighters

According to the Croatian press, the delay in the timing of the delivery of repairs repaired in Ukraine to SE Odessa aviation the plant ”of the MiG-21bis and MiG-21UM fighters is already 100 days old. During the inspection of the repaired equipment, the Croatian test pilot Ivan Selak (Ivan Selak) found problems (in the form of noise of unknown origin) in the radio equipment. It should be noted that the Czech company ČLS was also responsible for the repair of radio equipment. At the same time, a satisfactory quality of engine repair was noted.

Fighter MiG-21bis Croatian Air Force (c) Ministry of Defense of Croatia

According to our blog, the Croatian Ministry of Defense has not yet publicly expressed concerns about delays in repairing, citing one of the reasons for the delay as “bad weather conditions in the area of ​​the aircraft repair plant.” Representatives of the Ministry of Defense are optimistic and promise that in the near future the country's air force will receive repaired airplanes, from which even real air-to-air P-60 missiles will be launched. This is all the more relevant for Croatia, which, as of mid-January 2014, has not a single operational MiG-21 left.

In addition, according to the information received by bmpd, even if formally MiG-21bis are transferred to the Croatian side, they will not be able to use their Sapphire RP-22CMA radar, which are virtually inoperable. Repairing them turned out to be too difficult (or expensive).

Note bmpd. History with the Croatian MiG-21 in Ukraine once again confirms the complexity and risks of contacting dumping repair companies in Eastern Europe and the CIS, which do not always have the necessary capabilities for full repair. For Croatia, this is the second such case after the failure of an appeal to Romania to repair and upgrade the same MiG-21 at the Aerostar enterprise.

Something our "colleagues" from the Ukrainian military-industrial complex are not doing. Thank God, there is a jamb on a jamb. I'm not joking, but delays in terms have become a system, however, personally, I stopped being surprised for a long time.

All on the Maidan ... They want to Europe to quickly shut down the plants that need to work and repair MiG-21bis within EU technical regulations

July 8, 2013 in Zagreb, an agreement was signed on the modernization of the MiG-21. The reason for the conclusion of this contract was the extremely unsatisfactory level of modernization work on the Romanian Aerostar: the failure of the electronics and the actual incapacity of the radars revealed the futility of a formal modernization.

It is worth noting that the Ukrainian offer turned out to be much cheaper than the Romanian one, and also included an option to buy MiG-21s, which Jordan did not buy at one time: under the terms of the contract, Ukraine will modernize and repair 7 MiG-21s from the Croatian Air Force, and another 5 aircraft brought to Ukraine in accordance with the standard are delivered from belonging to SE “Odesaviaremservis”.

Ukrainian modernization involves not only a complete overhaul, but also the replacement of analog equipment with digital (partly, with regard to navigation and internal and external communication systems - Czech production), repair of radars, installation of GPS - navigators, equipment that allows the use of AIM-9 Sidewinder AIM-9L and AIM-9M versions.

The reason for the delay was navigation and communication systems designed to operate flights in the airspace controlled by civil services (Czech production).

Leave. Do not spoil the holiday for people - let them gloat. And we Ukrainians will have extra information to think about - is it worth striving for the taiga union to unite with such "brothers"

"Croatia has not yet publicly expressed concern about delays in repairs, citing" bad weather conditions in the area of ​​the aircraft repair plant "as one of the reasons for the delay.

So after all gas "has fallen in price", why hangars do not heat ?? I suppose the working people got the hang of saving the damned.

[Kowalsky]

Under the terms of the contract, the first modernized aircraft were supposed to be delivered to the Croatian Air Force in October 2013, however, due to the fault of the Czech subcontractor company, navigation and communication systems designed to operate in civilian controlled airspace were not delivered on time.

What does Ukraine have to do with it?

[Old Cynic]

Dear, Croatia has signed an agreement on modernization with whom? With a Czech subcontractor? Or is it still with Ukraine?

So sho "problems of Ukraine Croatia do not care"
You, having ordered a washing machine home and 100% paid for its delivery and installation, will not listen to the plaintive bleating of a certain manager, they say someone lost the key to the warehouse, so Uncle Vasya could not leave ... for six months. ..

Well, the author deliberately distorted the facts so that the next hohlosrach would burn out, and about the fact that the Czechs are to blame for the disruption of supplies, the Czechs and the Russians do not want to figure it out, read "Ukraine breaks down" and forward the stray will flood everything with guan.

I'm sorry, what??? Did you learn punctuation in France? Oh yes ... You have something else headed there ... Where are you, poor ...

the author intentionally misrepresented the facts

Evidence of fraud - IN STUDIO !!!

about the fact that the Czechs are to blame for the disruption of supplies and do not want to understand, they read "Ukraine breaks down" and forward the stray floods with guan will reach everything

Of course, I knew that our exam was written off from the West. But that there was even dumber ...
Dear, do you even read what you write?

that the Czechs are to blame for the disruption of supplies and they don’t want to understand

And where does the delivery ??? Who contracted for repairs? And what should we understand? Yes, by the way, two commas and a soft sign are missing.

read "Ukraine breaks down" and forward the stray floods with guan everything they can reach

And it pulls you to send textbooks of Russian grammar from first to third grade! And as a bonus - also the alphabet !!! Alphabet, preferably, edited by L.N. Tolstoy, you worship him in sunny France ...

Dear, as they said at the time of my youth: "You can’t fuck - don’t torment * oop!"

Well, write it as it is "That, due to the fault of the Czech subcontractor company, navigation and communication systems intended for flights in airspace controlled by civil services were not delivered on time, the Czech company, which is responsible for the modernization of navigation and communication systems, for the first time integrates them into aircraft of this type, which caused technical problems.

and some also need a geography textbook to spell the name of my country correctly. Well, textbooks of ethics, morality, rules of conduct and banal politeness. In general, this is not the topic - to learn the grammar of another, despite the fact that he made a mistake much less than many native Russians. You finish here to arrange a srach.
By the way, Odessa is modernizing Migi, but the systems are obviously not Ukrainian, but under NATO and they are just being prepared by allies in Europe.

Interesting news.
I did not know that the old MIG-21s are still in the ranks somewhere.

[Roman 1977]

The first MiG-21s appeared at the Croatian Air Force, when in October 1991 one MiG-21R was hijacked to Austria, and later three more MiG-21MF flew to the airports of Pleso and Zagreb. It was decided to make the MiG-21 the main aircraft: fortunately, all the pilots mastered it very well, and besides, on the European market this aircraft cost a little more than a used car (the "Soviet" republics and East Germany were actively getting rid of the fleet of these outdated fighters). As a result, by 2001, the fleet includes about 30 aircraft of various modifications. During the fighting, the Serbs shot down 4 Croatian MiG-21s.
Under the terms of the agreement, Ukrspetsexport is to carry out repairs and modernization of 7 MiG-21 aircraft owned by the Air Force of the Republic of Croatia. In addition, the Ministry of Defense of Croatia acquires 5 repaired MiG-21, which are the property of Odesaviaremservis SE. At the 1 of January 2014 of the year, the Croatian Air Force had only three MiG-21 aircraft capable of flying and fulfilling the tasks of protecting the country's airspace. That is, with the repaired, the Croats will have 15 MiG-21.

Naturally, when a bunch of traitors on the Maidan arranged some crap, then not only repairs, in general, all military contracts can be flunked! What I would not want!

[Leshka]

let them look for other repairmen

[Irokez]

I don’t get it at all. MiG strioli these planes and then can not organize their massive repair and upgrade.
- replacement of engines or their repair;
- other components of the aircraft kinematics mechanics, hydraulics, electrics;
- New avionics, and this also increases the possibilities of application;
And everywhere, as in the market, the more units of modernization the cheaper (wholesale).
For poor countries, the secondary market for these aircraft is just a godsend, and right now the Indians will refuse to give up their 21sts so to bribe and organize squadrons and the like.
In close combat, of course, he wasn’t so hot, but where did you see the duel of airplanes right now, and everyone can fly on a specific mission with cover or without - flew in, shot back.
It is possible to process the engine using modern technologies and make it more heavily armed and economical, and this is an improvement in performance characteristics.
Even a new radar from newer aircraft can be adapted or developed in general AFAR for him, which is very good.
There was a proposal, but there is a client.

[ran nearby]

Lord Russians, Maidan not in Odessa, Maidan in Kiev. And there are practically no Maidan Odessites there.
I observed the test flights of the repaired MIGs every day, since the end of December, since I work near the strip with which flights are operated.
Well, I personally know a person who is engaged in the repair of aircraft at our aircraft repair plant. Great welder! He showed pictures from business trips in Libya, Syria - well, before the well-known events.
So sho request - well, turn on the brain sometimes, do not hang Maidan dogs on everyone and everything.
Sincerely.
