Before 2020, the 30 of the MiG-35 light fighters will enter the Russian Air Force

Deputy Defense Minister Yury Borisov said that under the state armament program before 2020, military pilots of the Russian Air Force will receive 30 MiG-35 light fighters, a contract for development work on which has already been signed.

“Within the framework of the ROC, the first two samples must be supplied and upon completion of the ROC, we, and as a rule we do it proactively, we will conclude a contract for the series. They are loaded into the state armament program, these are 30 machines, ”he said. "Military Industrial Courier".

In addition, according to him, every year the Russian Air Force will receive more than 10 upgraded MiG-31BM aircraft, and by now 24 vehicles have already entered service.

"After the modernization of the MiG-31, we expect over 130 machines in the army - updated, wonderful, with the limiting flight and technical characteristics," - he quoted INTERFAX-AVN.

The deputy minister noted that the lifespan of a modernized version of the aircraft with partially replaced onboard and radio-electronic equipment, as well as a locator, is 40-45 years, but it can be extended to 50 years.

“The plane gets a second life. Today it is already clear that after modernization it can have a period of active existence and be in the troops of the order of 40-45 years, but this is not even the limit. I think the issue of extending his life to 50 years will be considered, ”he stressed.

I think that such a small figure is due to the fact that work is underway on the 5 generation of LFIs and they will be purchased in the future. Besides, who can tell you all the real numbers on the purchase and supply of military complexes to the army. There may be not 5 (it cannot, but for sure), but 50 cars a year, but why not blow it at all angles ...

Do you believe everything that is published in the public domain?
And, with regards to the PAK FA, I think the deliveries of these vehicles to the troops will begin in the normal mode as much as planned. So far, the SU-50 successfully performs the functions that should be assigned to the T-35, which is cheaper and second only to the PAK FA in stealth and slightly in maneuverability.
According to T-50, there is another version of the suspension or deceleration of this project - it is the expectation that the second stage engine will go into operation and then mass production and delivery to the army of this complex will begin.

[Yuri from Volgograd]

I agree with you.
The housekeeper must be economical.
Generation 5 can only be useful in a war with the leading powers, but this is rather the third world war (it is the last one).
The needs of non-global wars will more than cover 4+.
So I'm for the reasonable pace of input of the T-50 and for the main combat mass - 4 ++.

Otherwise, we will overtake everyone and they will see our bare ass ...

Quote: Yuri Stupin

I do not agree and adhere to the exact opposite opinion. Just in a global war, the 5th generation will not differ much from 4 ++, and in local conflicts the 5th generation is able not only to perform tasks, but also to increase the country's authority as well as to reduce the chances of sporadic losses, which are perceived rather painfully. The fact is that in local conflicts there are a lot of tactical restrictions.

The newer the equipment, the more expensive it is and its less in the army. In a big war, this small amount will be knocked out in the first period and then everything else will be fought. Unless, of course, they do not use nuclear weapons.

[captain]

One of the reasons for not concluding a contract with India for the purchase of a light aircraft is the lack of it in the arsenal of Russia. We are trying to do everything expensive and big, which not everyone likes.

[yehat]

not so expensive. just doing a good consumer goods like F16 or a fighter fighter or mig-21,23 does not allow the industry level

[clidon]

Purchases on the T-50 decided to cut for one reason - the plane is not ready and there is nothing to buy.

[Evgeniy667b]

And how many years will this LFI-5 be developed? The PAK-FA program has slowed down, there are no shifts. So, it is better to have more run-in cars than not a single promising one. It seems that the wrecking in the aviation industry, which is observed with civilian aircraft, is beginning to seize the military sphere.

[NEXUS]

Quote: Evgeniy667b

And how many years will this LFI-5 be developed?

In principle, 5 LFIs of the generation, that is, not only in the drawing, but also in the prototype version, this MIG-1.44. At what stage of development of the 5 LFIs, it is difficult for us to say because of the understandable secrecy of such topics. Let's hope that the machine was created and tested ... maybe the question is not only the strategic necessity of this complex, but also the elementary benefit (70% of all strike aircraft are sold by the LFI).

very controversial. I do not trust publicly available sources, in which it is claimed by someone else. Nobody canceled the information war and state secret.

but let me ask you, at what stage are the relations between Russia, the USA and NATO in fact?
If you aren’t yet aware, then we are at war with the United States and its sotiliti. And do you really think that our politicians and the military will voice the real state of affairs in the procurement, development and supply of troops in a generally accessible format?
Do you remember the Second World War and answer me, did Germany or the USSR publish in the newspapers what they were developing, in what quantity and on the timing of armament work, or did they talk about it on the radio?
Work is underway and I think faster than we think, because in a situation when the country is at war, the defense never slows down, it only builds up. Remember the slogan: ALL FOR THE FRONT, ALL FOR THE VICTORY!

In my opinion, this is a prototype MFI, if you remember what it is. "Both a reaper and a gambler on a pipe." Some "implicated" said that he was generally expected to replace the MiG-31 and that they were adjusting it on the knee under the conditions of the MFI.

In any case, with a weight exceeding that of the Su-27, this machine (of which the Mig-29 is "knee-deep") somehow does not pull on the LFI.

I won’t argue ... taking into account its high-speed characteristics, it could well become a fighter-interceptor to replace the MIG-31. By the way, if I am not mistaken, the production version of this machine was about to be called the MIG-41.
But still, I suppose, it was built exactly as an LF. A light fighter, it is a multifunctional complex that can fight on the front line and work like an interceptor, as well as destroy ground targets.
Although your point of view is quite reasonable and justified.

Although it was not me who raised the topic of the UAC, the MiG-35 and T-50 are linked in the context of the Air Force's production program. And it was about the fact that the T-50 "slowed down", and she slowed down and quite strongly. How Lockheed Martin influences our development is not clear to me.
Or do you just want to chat in the style of "Do you lynch blacks in America!"? )

[Scraptor]

How are they connected? ... Rather, we still influence them. And not only in the light of the F-35. They pulled a lot of things from Russia, especially on lasers and holographic precision optics.

[twviewer]

what's the contract for mig35 again? :) is already funny ... 30 pieces ?? generally under the table.
can the contract number name in which they are "shipped" ??? :)

[andrei.yandex]

And what did you expect when technology and human resources in production are lost. Already the fact that not everyone was dying is already good.

[yehat]

And I am suspicious of the new MIG aircraft. The design bureau has recently done a lot of work on errors, but so far I do not see evidence that everything has become a way. There is no practical evidence. Therefore, I take neutral news about the supply of Mig-35.

[Su24]

Deputy Defense Minister Yury Borisov said that under the state armament program before 2020, military pilots of the Russian Air Force will receive 30 MiG-35 light fighters, a contract for development work on which has already been signed.

Hmm, i.e. the plane has been flying for several years, even in the tender back in 2009, participated, but still need to conduct OCD? Something I'm not poking

[clidon]

He participated in this form, which still needed to be done by OCD. As a result, the topic was covered, and the name was transferred to the land version of the Mig-29K fighter. As such, the MO refused it and purchased 16 Mig-29SMT fighters. However, it was announced that there will be more purchases later (it is understandable, the factory has no orders, you need to help) or the Mig-29SMT or Mig-35.
What will be sold to the military under the name "MiG-35" is, of course, a secret. But most likely a variant of the MiG-29K with updated equipment.

[Kasym]

The MiG-31BM initially signed a contract for more than 50 cars until 2019, and then another 50 cars by the end of 2018. With the MiG-35 may be the same story. First, make at least a couple to understand the Air Force what the plane was, and there it will be seen. But for me, this aircraft may become the most massive in the army. Resources are increased, the range is larger, avionics (I hope the Bug will bring to mind) new and modern. What else does. At the European military theater, the MiG-35 will compete with any European (Rafal, Grippen, Eurofighter), and on the heavier ones there will be Dryers and MiG-31. It is cheaper than Dryers (engines, fuselage, radar less and cheaper for mass production).
The new LFI, if created, will be in 10-15 years. And in the sky he is needed now. If it is successful, then there will be buyers - heavy drying for many countries, especially small ones, is redundant and expensive.

[clidon]

With the MiG-35, this story obviously does not go away. The choice was made in favor of the "dry" (Su-30, Su-35, T-50). They are already replacing "light" regiments and will, apparently, change further, occasionally tossing up Migu's orders, so that he does not corny ... And the 29s themselves, in general, there are not so many of them left - you can count the squadrons ... Hope that suddenly the Air Force is waiting for a quantitative expansion, too, from the category of "dreams".
Mig-35 ... I do not want to croak, but it seems to me that the prospects for this machine are less. On the one hand, it is not so cheap to operate, on the other, the Chinese will support it in the market. However, his predecessor was not snapped up like hot cakes. There remains hope for its deep successful modernization (AFAR completion, a real improvement in the quality of the airframe), some kind of large order, support for the Air Force, etc.

[Welcome to hell]

The fact is that instant 35 will be created anew for the Russian Air Force, and the one that was created for the Indian Air Force does not suit us, it has a weak radar, and for us they will create a more advanced and better modification. until 2018, OCD and state trials will go

It, of course, would be beautiful. But the car was originally intended essentially for export. And then 30 pcs. for advertisers and runs before potential buyers do not make sense. But in perspective: there is already a machine mastered in production and personnel, which, in the event of an aggravation of the situation, can significantly strengthen the Air Force, which the potential aggressor will need to consider as a factor complicating the prospects of the invasion.

[clidon]

What is there to advertise? These are machines for combat units (s), most likely in Millerovo and a little in training. Most likely Mig-29SMT will go to Gyumri.
And the main task is to support afloat Mikoyanites.

It remains only to wish success to the military-industrial complex and in the service of flight crews.

[Funnels]

Given the announced speed of modernization, 11-12 aircraft per year will have to wait a long time. Until the last reach the first, it will be necessary to write off.

[andrei.yandex]

I support. In the old days, in some years, only Su-27s were made up to 80-90 units a year. And there were MiG-29, MiG-31, Su-25. So while the pace is modest, let's hope for an increase in indicators.

because it costs a lot of money, and enterprises are barely making ends meet anyway. The taxes are huge and there are few orders.

[adept666]

yes ... for 5 years ... that's cool. what at this pace, rearmament will last until the year 2050.

I think a deliberate measure ... the MiG-35, like the Su-35S, were initially export-oriented machines aimed at the markets of India, Malaysia, Indonesia, Pakistan, Africa, Latin America, etc. They made PAKFA for themselves in the heavy board version and based on it, in mass production, build a light board using up to 70-75% of nodes from the T-50, as well as modern production lines. This approach reduced design time and significantly reduced the cost of the entire series of fifth-generation machines (both light and heavy + a joint project for India). The order for the Su-35S was made primarily because of the 2-4-year lag (it was different for different components and assemblies) of the PAKFA project from the original schedule, and the fleet of cars needs to be updated already, so Su-35S was ordered enough Serious series and at the same time supported rusks, because so far it has not been possible to push this machine for export (there are many reasons, for example, it was still crude even at the beginning of 2014, the cost is significant and not everyone can afford it, etc.) Based on these realities, waiting is easy the board can be no earlier than 22-25 years old, and the fleet of light cars also becomes obsolete, and they pull the rubber from the patchwork, which has already lost their places by small orders without spraying funds from the main task - the light side of the fifth generation. This is IMHO of course.

[Alex_59]

30 pieces for 5 years. By 2 months on the plane. This is not a defense order, this is wrecking. Actually screwdriver assembly, not mass production. In Soviet times, they collected 5 per month.

[McLuha-MacLeod]

What kind of crap is 40-50 years of operation? What does he carry? This is if the planes in the hangars are stupidly standing, then you can declare 100 years.

[Merl13]

IMHO: Maybe it meant 40-50 years of operation of everything?
That is, the main fleet is made up of cars of the late 80s - 90s, and after modernization they will last another 15-20 years, so it turns out somewhere around 45-50 years.

[veksha50]

In such a tense situation as it is now, it is necessary to pay special attention to the modernization of the Mig-31 and its entry into the troops, perhaps even to the detriment of the Mig-35 ... Interceptors are now needed like air ...

[bolat19640303]

Do not go to extremes: "this is not enough, you need more; I do not want the 35th, but I want the 31st ...". The industry gives as much as it is able to give in the current conditions, the Ministry of Defense orders as many aircraft as the industry is able to give and as much money as there is (despite the needs of the Air Force). And the military budget is being cut. Everything will not work out right away, but I would like to.

[iwind]

It's bad, not so much that 30 cars, although I wrote it a year ago that the project of the Mig-35 will be "lowered on brakes" when they are fed breakfast for 4-5 years, this says a lot.
The main problem I think is that instead of a full-fledged Mig-35 (which was in the tender with Raphael), they ordered the MIG-29M or the MIG-29UPG. Apparently, the Moscow Region didn’t want to and don’t want to give money to Mig for Nikor.

[evm-2005]

Not a cloud in terms of quantity, but what we can supply to the troops must go, and faster. There is no time to brake. As long as there is enough money, so many machines with "extreme flight characteristics" will be put into operation. The question is, in what direction is the cover? Light fighters, I believe, will be gathered in one grouping, and not spread out across the country.

[Zomanus]

Why are you different? They will start work, rehearse and may close the plan in a couple of years. Do you think that in the event of a major war the planes will decide? I would not be surprised if the funds were thrown into more apocalyptic projects. Like the same Sarmatian or Barguzin.

[chunga-changa]

The plane is 150 years old at lunch. It would be better if they invested money in the creation of a new light fighter, a competitor to all kinds of flu and other f-16s with mirages. It’s time to close the question, we don’t have a single-engine light at all, neither for ourselves nor for sale. MIG, after all, has specialized in this for forty years. China will now take the market with its f-16 clone or our MiG-21.

At least someone noticed a paradoxical situation ... Russia is surrendered without a fight, the largest market is military aviation. And we get a logical result, losing the tender in Brazil for 100+ aircraft, losing India for 100+ aircraft and this is only under a large contract.
Let's go back in time for an example. The first flight of F-16 on February 2, 1974, and after 3 years (!!!) the answer was ready in the form of instant-29 first flight on October 6, 1977.
And now, even in the medium-term perspective (10 years) you can’t see a new aircraft easily. And the main front of the struggle for this is to rivet articles about which F-35 is bad .... PPC.
Another two or three years and the situation will be very bad. Urgently need to start about creating a project and gather allies / coalition for procurement and production.

If you manage to keep the price within reasonable limits, why not? It is already impossible to wait for the creation of the desired engine (!!), the engine for the pack phase 2 will not be produced before the 20th year, only this year a demonstrator will be created, this usually takes from 3-5 years to the flying engine + state. app.
Yes, and it does not fit, you need a more powerful one. And when such an engine will be generally HZ.
Here it is already necessary to proceed from your capabilities and time, the appearance of your LFI 5 pok. by the year 2030.

But how can the cost of operating with two engines be kept within reasonable limits? If we want to make a competitive car, we need to make it that way. Or lighten or increase engine power.

You +
I do not know. But it is necessary to do LFI and as quickly as possible.
The development cycle of a new aircraft is 10-15 years before being put into service, and it’s simply impossible to continue pulling.
I just can’t really understand what the Russian Air Force will look like in 2025-2030? That is, we want to satisfy all the needs of our Air Force with heavy SU? It is necessary at least to build 1000-1500 aircraft, in the next 10-15 years there will be a large write-off of aircraft of 70-80 years of production. Such even the USSR and America could not / cannot afford to have so many heavy and expensive aircraft.

[clidon]

The structure of the Russian Air Force, in my opinion, is already clearly looming. Just the main reductions in aviation have already passed and we currently have from the old (that is, those same 80s) machines we have:
Mig-29 - about 70-80 units.
Su-27 - about 170-180 + units
Su-24 - about 130 units
Mig-31 - 130-150 units
Su-25 - 150-170 + units.
Tu-22M - 50-60 + units
+ strategic bombers.
Everything is clear with the Mig-29 - they will soon be decommissioned and replaced with the Mig-29SMT, Su-30 and the aforementioned Mig-35.
Su-27 - upgraded (70-80 + pieces) will be kept until the mid-20s, non-upgraded ones are already changing to Su-30 and Su-35.
Su-24 - decommissioning and replacement with the Su-34 in the next 7-10 years.
Mig-31 - modernization and operation of the year until 2030+.
Su-25 - a long difficult life.
Tu-22M - modernization and service for another 10-15 years, depending on how the PAK FA program goes.

In total, in the next 10 years, about 450-500 tactical machines will go under the knife. Replace them, producing, on average, 50-60 combat vehicles a year, the aviation industry is quite capable. Even more than that, the number of aircraft delivered to the troops in the 20s is likely to decrease, so much money may not be given, and the cost per unit will increase.

But with the thesis that LFI is needed, that it is desirable to develop it, I certainly agree. But I won’t be surprised if they save on it.

Be realistic.
We make airplanes as much as we can, and states as much as we want.
This, by the way, is also not very bad.

It will not be enough!

Honestly, this Aviprom PR is already tired. Cackling like a chicken over its only laid egg.
