Antonov proposes to begin the development and creation of its own (Ukrainian) fighters and attack aircraft

73
The President and General Designer of the Antonov Ukrainian aircraft-building enterprise Dmitry Kiva, whom official Kiev (by Yatsenyuk’s decision) does not wish to consider as the head of the enterprise, said that Antonov could begin the creation of Ukrainian fighters and attack aircraft. On the air of the Ukrainian TV channel TSN Dmitry Kiva stated:
We offered this (the development and creation of military aircraft) back in 2006 year. The relevant proposals were officially submitted. But at that time they said that we do not need it yet. Today we have again prepared proposals on this issue.


Antonov proposes to begin the development and creation of its own (Ukrainian) fighters and attack aircraft


Kiva noted that the new developments will allow other Ukrainian enterprises to be involved in the project, which will allow the creation of Ukrainian military aircraft.

Dmitry Kiva:
That is, we could do it quite effectively. It would be no worse than, as some suggest, to buy such aircraft, for example, in China.


At the same time, the status of either the Antonov enterprise or Kiva itself is still unclear. Back in April, the Ukrainian government announced that Kiva was dismissed from his leadership position, and then removed from the position of general designer. But, according to Kiva, a certain prosecutor told him to stay at his workplace, since "all this (government order) is illegal." Did this prosecutor mean that the government itself is illegal?

Kiva, who has an uncertain status in an enterprise, does not say how much Ukraine, with its already leaky budget, can manage to create its own models of military aircraft.

      What's that on his jacket? Golden Hero Star? What the hell is the yellow-blue over her? Dillies! It's time to move away from this vicious symbolism !!! Instead of the Star of the Hero, you will have the swastika of HEROA by rank! And about the development ... Here, you are our zealous, money is needed. And considerable. Do you have them in the nezalezhnaya? Even if there is, spend the last on the ATO, and drain them irrevocably. It's not up to you to develop now. Out of the "great Ukrainian fleet" they have already made a flotilla. And from the aviation wing, the militias helped you do it. And something in a truncated format lol ... And it sounds something like harsh - "own (Ukrainian) fighters and attack aircraft." What do you own there, besides bacon. And they say it is no longer produced)).

          Kiva in the difficult situation of the Ukrainian confusion was able to keep the plant, I think the award is well deserved, here in Saratov the aircraft factory was ruined, conditions were better than that of Kiva, moreover, it was repeatedly thrown by Russian customers who have seven Fridays a week. According to the fighters, he has behind him a bunch of workers whose children need something to eat, it is not his fault that in Kiev after a year of revolution.
          So your stuffing with a swastika is clearly superfluous.
          And according to the information in the article, it is clear that Kiva is not friends with the current government.

            IMHO: definitely NO.

        And there’s no need to mock about the development proposal: a person seeks to keep the company developing cool planes. What's bad about it? It’s easy to ruin everything and everything, but try to save it. And if he succeeds, then he will create an airplane for his country, and not for dill. This is not a quick matter, as long as they reach the final product (if it succeeds), it seems to me that by this time the dill has already wilted.

    However, for now, they are going to produce a light Chinese UBS-Hongdu L-15, created on the basis of our Yak-130 with the assistance of Yakovlev Design Bureau with the Ukrainian AI-222-25F engine. That is, the Yakovlev Design Bureau provided technical documentation for the Yak-130 aircraft, and Motor Sich installs two AI-222-25F turbojet engines with an afterburner and modern onboard equipment, including a digital power plant control system. Back in 2009, Yuri Yekhanurov , the then Minister of Defense of Ukraine, announced his intention to establish a joint production of the L-15 combat trainer aircraft with Hongdu.

All Antonov cars were tested in TsAGI aerodynamic disks (blown through) static disks (for durability) there are simply no such stands in ruins!

      But Ukraine had a chance to become the only CIS country with an atomic nose. Indeed, on the slipway Nikolaevsky the building of Ulyanovsk was already being completed. I do not deny that the cost of completion would be enormous, but the mere fact of having an atomic nose and six more non-nuclear ones would have recouped all costs.

More would not be such. They drag it as once the Pavlograd Mechanical Plant (under the applause and hooting of the local hands of guides) which fired ballistic missiles.

    During its entire existence, the Antonov Design Bureau has created only one combat aircraft - in 1947, an experimental fighter M ("Masha"), based on German trophy developments, made of wood, with an engine with a centrifugal compressor RD-45 with a thrust of 2270 daN (Soviet licensed version of the British Rolls-Royce RB.41 Nene, later renamed VK-1 with a thrust of 2700 daN). Aerodynamic model "Masha" was blown in TsAGI.

    However, literally on the eve of the start of flights in July 1948, by order of the NKAP, all work on the "M" fighter was stopped. Probably, the presence of the MiG-15, Yak-23 and La-15 was considered sufficient to ensure the country's defense capability. In addition, at this time, the tests of the An-2 were being completed, which had to be urgently introduced into large-scale production.

    There was an attempt to create a reconnaissance spotter based on An-2, under the designation An-2F. From the base model, it was distinguished by a modified tail of the fuselage, which housed a fully glazed observer's cabin. The plumage was replaced by a two-keel, and to protect against fighter attacks, a turret with an 20-mm DB-20E gun was installed behind the upper wing. This aircraft was left in a single copy.

    And the An-2 itself can be quite a formidable machine. So, the main problems of the JNA during the war in Croatia, in 1991, were brought about by the Croatian so-called. "corn aviation". It was based on a detachment of agricultural aviation in Osijek, where there were about 10 old An-2 biplanes, which were supplemented by several "sessna" of various modifications: A-180 Ag-Truck, A-186 Ag-Wagon and Pipers RA-18. Despite their more than solid age and outdated technical data, the aircraft turned out to be a "tough nut to crack" for the Serbian air defense.
    MANPADS missiles were not always effective, since the weak thermal signature of the piston engine did not allow the homing head to reliably capture the target. The press described a case when the pilot of the Croatian An-2 got away from 16 (!) Missiles fired at him. Luck turned away from the Croats on December 2, 1991, when the calculation of the medium-range air defense system 2K12 "Kvadrat" was able to hit one An-2 with a rocket. Another An-2 was shot down by anti-aircraft gunners. No other agricultural aircraft were hit. Therefore, the Serbs were forced to destroy them at the airfields: on September 8, during the attack on the Osijek airfield, the Galeb attack aircraft destroyed one An-2, and a week later several more.

    That is, we could do it quite effectively. It would be no worse than, as some suggest, to buy such aircraft, for example, in China.

    Comrade Kiva, who was so defended by the Antonovites, also turns out to be one of these, how to put it mildly, dreamers. That is, the firm "Antonov", vegetating under the yoke of "m ... lei", slavishly fulfilling their orders, secretly developed and had in the storehouse super-development of everything and everyone. And then (after getting rid of m ... whom the yoke, finally, the bright minds got room for creativity. From corn workers to space shuttles - everything is ready to be presented to the "Antonov", as on a silver platter.

    Statements and initiatives coming from the independent country are becoming more and more divorced from the real situation, in the "country". You have to think about how to bury what is left, and not fantasize about it.

    Canadians offered Ukrainians their old F-18s. Is free. Just a dream for those who want to get everything for nothing, both gas and coal. They calculated the costs of retraining pilots and the costs of operation and refused. Nama pennies even for that! Where did the money come from for the development and construction of new aircraft ?!

    I could not resist, Bayan, it seems to me that it was in VO, but still .....
    The Croatian Ministry of Defense has commissioned only one of the seven MiG-21 fighters, which were repaired by the Ukrainian company Odessa Aircraft Plant. The remaining machines identified defects. In violation of the terms of the contract in Ukraine, repairs of five more combat vehicles have not been completed. All this may entail a revision of the terms of the agreement by Croatia.
    In the Croatian Ministry of Defense, 6 out of 7 MiG-21 fighters failed to be inspected, the repair of which was carried out by the Ukrainian company GP Odessa Aircraft Plant. According to RT, the Air Force refused to accept the low-quality work of Ukrainians. During the check, malfunctions in the operation of radar stations, the “friend or foe” system, and even fuel leakage were detected.
    Croatia received its first repaired aircraft from Ukraine a few months ago. For their "refinement" to the military base in the recipient country were sent Ukrainian technology. They try to fix the problems, but, as noted, the problems do not stop.
    According to the publication, these MiG-21s previously belonged to Yemen. The authorities refused to pay for them after they revealed low-quality repairs carried out by the Ukrainian side. Flying cars stood at the airport for 5 years, until Croatia became interested in them. SE “Odessa Aviation Plant” won a tender for the repair and modernization of MiGs.
    According to Jutarnji, Ukrainian experts did not conduct a full cycle of checks on the suitability of aircraft for operation. So, tests were not conducted at low altitudes. And now, when Croatian specialists took up this, problems began to come to light.
    Repair of all 12 aircraft according to the terms of the contract was supposed to be completed by June 30. 5 cars, meanwhile, are still in Ukraine, since their repair is not completed. It is emphasized that the Ministry of Defense of Croatia has not yet paid for the work of the Ukrainian enterprise. And now, due to violation of terms and disputed quality, the question may arise about the amount of payments. At the same time, the Ukrainian company also earlier received a tender for the modernization of several Mi-8 and Mi-17 helicopters of the Croatian Air Force.

    No, well, "z'ist then he z'ist - the one who will give him" (c)
    I will still believe that the remaining potential will be enough for what to draw "on the drawing board" ... But for the fact that there is enough potential for at least a flight prototype, then this is already sorry ... Well, let alone mass production with a closed technical chain ... then this is generally in the category of "unscientific fiction" ...
    The Soviet touched upon for a long time about, but to do something of his own now - stupidly "where is the money Zin?" (C)

    So with such airplanes Zushki get off, a missile on them is too expensive. If the rocket is perhaps of short range, like that of Shell C1, they are not expensive.

    Why trifles, fighter jets, attack aircraft are somehow still petty for such a great country, but would you like your friends to sway by a more significant, cosmodrome, rocket, base on the Moon, all this is just on the shoulder of a country that takes its roots in such a deep jo ..

    I put the article plus. For the fact that they at least amuse us (Ukrainians). Without their funny remarks, it would be sad (like the ruble is falling, gas is growing). If they give them permission to develop what they want, then minus a lot of money from the treasury. And this is good, because they will not go to the ATO.

    stated that Antonov could begin the creation of Ukrainian fighters and attack aircraft.

    From the beginning of the development of the concept to the creation of the first machine, 10 to 20 years pass. Will Ukraine, under the current junta, need aviation at that time? request

    <<<We proposed this (the development and creation of military aircraft) back in 2006. Relevant proposals have been officially submitted. Today we have again prepared proposals on this issue. (Kiva)>>>
    For the “great dill”, in ancient times, as they claim today, who dug up as much as the Black Sea, nothing is impossible! But the modern descendants of the “greats” can only jump around under moronic slogans and destroy everything to the ground in the Bolshevik style, as well as grab someone else’s property, especially if it “does not lie very well”!
