RSK MiG may suspend servicing of Bulgarian MiG-29 aircraft

59
Director General of RSK MiG Sergey Korotkov sent a letter to the Russian ambassador in Bulgaria, Yuri Isakov, with a warning to the Bulgarian side about the possible suspension of service for MiG-29 aircraft.




“The repair of Bulgarian engines at Polish enterprises will be the basis for the termination of RAC MiG as a developer and manufacturer of MiG-29 aircraft, further fulfillment of contractual obligations to support and operate MiG-29 aircraft of the Bulgarian Air Force. Also, the question of the legality of further use will be raised of these airplanes and the guarantees of the safety of the pilots’s life, ” TASS.

October 22 authorities of Bulgaria and Poland signed an agreement that provides for the repair of Bulgarian MiG-29 aircraft manufactured in Russia. Tomash Semonyak and Nikolai Nenchev, two defense ministers of the two states, signed the document.

“The conditions proposed by RAC MiG are quite beneficial for Bulgaria from an economic point of view. Price parameters almost correspond to each other. Poland is ready to extend engine life for € 1,023 million, RAC MiG - for € 1,050 million. At the same time, for this amount Russia is ready to guarantee Bulgaria a resource in 500 flight hours, but Poland - 350 hours. That is, in the case of work with Poland, the Bulgarian Air Force will have to pay (for the repair of engines) almost twice as often, ”the letter of Korotokov says.

The head of RSK MiG also stressed that "despite the fact that this case is deeply regrettable, based on the centuries-old friendship between Russia and Bulgaria, we continue to hope for the continuation of mutually beneficial cooperation based on international law."

The Bulgarian parliament should ratify an intergovernmental agreement on the repair of engines for MiG-29 aircraft in the coming days.

According to the American edition of Military Belene, the Bulgarian Air Force currently has 12 MiG-29А (Fulcrum-A, NATO classification) fighter jets, and also MiG-4UB (Fulcrum-B, NATO classification) combat-training aircraft.

    It’s not about money and profit, it’s only to bend under NATO partners. The Bulgarians are already all that is possible ... starting from an excessively profitable gas pipe contract and ending with the same vegetables and now fighter jets will be repair. Well then, God judge them

        Currently, the Bulgarian Air Force has 12 MiG-29A fighters (Fulcrum-A, NATO classification), as well as 4 MiG-29UB combat trainers (Fulcrum-B, NATO classification).
        Well duck it while they have - and if they contact the Poles, then soon this will not happen!

            If someone without a license from our manufacturers gets into the equipment and the owner of the equipment allowed them, then such a machine should automatically fly off the Warranty and Maintenance. Just an automatic machine without any can.

        Why all these political disputes? There is a strict rule of operation: violated the rules of warranty service; go to Uncle Vasya in the gateway. Bulgarians concluded an agreement with the Poles, which prevents them from raising prices for spare parts by a certain percentage and not giving a guarantee for spare parts. For some reason, inside. the country does this against its own consumers, but against the "Brothers" and the Poles it is impossible. No arbitration will go to protect violators of Warranty obligations. And why should we have a headache from other people's problems?

          Really. I bought an adapter for a router in the service center. I received an invoice Adapter - 1 pc. Installation - 1 pc. winked The term "lost profit" has not been canceled. Give a guarantee on your parts? So the pepelats on someone else's gravitsap gives out the wrong parameters for the correct operation of the parts. Nizya give a guarantee.

          But will the Poles themselves pour the blades or will they resort to the Miga subcontractors? There should be the same sales scheme, together with the installation. Well, so that the Poles do not get the benefit

      Of course, it is necessary to document the "divorce" on the MiG-29 as soon as possible, otherwise it will not even be an hour after the Polish repairs will begin to fall, and the claims of the Bulgarians will expose the RSK "MiG" we need it! And about the "centuries-old friendship" I would say about "centuries-old betrayal", the "brothers" did not and do not know how to appreciate the freedom received by the blood and bayonet of Russian soldiers and generally became "an unforgettable people"!

      and what good is it? yes, on the one hand - the Bulgarians will punish themselves by chasing MiGs to the ground, but what they will say - Russian planes cannot fly, they are not reliable, which will serve as anti-advertising for Russian aircraft manufacturers and aircraft trading, which will lead to a decrease in revenues for the entire industry and its allies .

            Dear Evgeny Nikolaevich, there are columns in the warranty and maintenance contracts: Failure to comply with the warranty leads to the termination of all obligations on the responsibility of the manufacturer or the organization conducting the maintenance for the reliability and uptime of this product. Example: Megion engine was out of order on a German combine. Specifically, there was no such engine. The customer asked to deliver an engine of the same type but with more power. We refused and called the representative of the company. What was our surprise when a few days later we arrived with a representative of the company and saw a working combine. On a guarantee machine without the knowledge of the company and the service center was replaced by a key unit. Immediately the power was lost for warranty service and for the preferential purchase of spare parts. As a result of a smart decision and a desire to put the unit into operation as soon as possible, significant economic damage was caused. Also, the warranty was protested against It was necessary to pay, because the arbitration took the side of the manufacturer. In cases of violation of the guarantee, the arbitration immediately takes the side of the manufacturer, regardless of the country of manufacture.

And our enterprises need to conclude during the contract, where the conditions of service and repair are prescribed only for us, the rest is piracy and counterfeit with all the consequences.

In all world wars it fought against us and is now in NATO, preparing for the third world and Again, it’s good at least they have few troops.
    It’s time for these little brothers to drive in their louse! That's who surely will never be brothers to us. The same is true with MIG agreements. They don’t want, it means breaking all relations. Let the Poles be responsible for everything.

    That special warmth for the supposedly “little brothers” in Bulgaria, which we absorbed with mother’s milk, is in fact little based on. On the contrary, the participation of this country in both world wars in coalitions hostile to Russia suggests that only Orthodoxy unites us, and even then conditionally. In today's world, common faith is not a sufficient basis for allied relations. An example of two World Wars.
    As, however, it was before. They say that when in the XNUMXth century our troops marched through the liberated Bulgarian villages, the soldiers had to buy water from the local residents to get drunk. Bulgarians have never felt grateful for their release - and they should not be reproached for that. You just need to take into account: they will not be different. And they do not want to be obliged to us by anything, and do not consider themselves to be obliged to Russia by anything. Russia can only have interests, not "friends" - freeloaders.

    For more than three hundred years we have been instilled with the principle of the great Slavic world, but this world was limited exclusively by the Slavs from the former Soviet republics, and even then, in Ukraine they are trying to change it. I didn’t make a reservation, they’re trying, because the election results and even the answer of the Kiev grandmother live ("We are waiting for Putin to come and free us from the police sons"), suggests that not everything is as smooth as Parashenko and his clique wants.

      Those who are effective from Gazprom for partying booze and other mega-successful megaprojects, like - let's give someone else discounts and stretch the pipe somewhere, spend as much as the entire arms export brings. Gazprom then writes off these expenses to the budget at a loss, and the obronka has to bow to different "centuries-old friends" for each ruble. Nothing can be done, otherwise we will go around the world. Although, apparently, we will go, the appetites of the Kremlin oligarchs are not diminishing.

    And why can suspend? as with a car: if MOT was not done by the dealer, but by the left people of some people in the garage, and it burned down - the guarantee flies .. And it's normal, everyone lives like that. So the Pshek will stick their crooked hands - let them do it further) the plane will crash - the MiG has nothing to do with it.

    It's time to draw us conclusions ...

    It’s time to learn how to profit by drawing conclusions! It makes no sense to feed an impudent overgrown child, especially not your own child! Stop supplying repair kits and spare parts for economic reasons!

    Currently, the Bulgarian Air Force has 12 MiG-29A fighters (Fulcrum-A, NATO classification), as well as 4 MiG-29UB combat trainers (Fulcrum-B, NATO classification).
    Well duck it while they have - and if they contact the Poles, then soon this will not happen!

    This is done on purpose, so that there would be nothing to defend against NATO.
