MiG-31BM interceptors set a new record

73
The MiG-31 supersonic interceptor is known for its high flight characteristics, and also differs from other samples aviation high performance in terms of combat use. Not so long ago, the list of records of this aircraft was replenished with a new record. Pilots of one of the combatant units made the longest non-stop flight in stories aircraft MiG-31.

The record was set during the recent joint exercises of aviation and air defense of the Central Military District, held in late March. As reported by 26 in March, the command of the Central Military District, six MiG-31BM interceptors flew from the Kansk air base (Krasnoyarsk Territory) to Ashuluk base (Astrakhan region). The entire route was covered in one flight, without additional landings. To solve this problem, in view of the existing restrictions, it was necessary to attract tanker aircraft, which helped interceptors to reach the required range.

According to the military, during a record flight, six aircraft covered a distance of about 8 thousand kilometers, which took them 7 hours 4 minutes. The route lay over three federal districts in the airspace of several subjects of the federation. At the same time, as follows from the published data, the aircraft flew not along the shortest path to the destination aerodrome, but moved along a more complex route. Since the route length exceeded the range of MiG-31BM interceptors, Il-78 tankers were involved in the operation. So, during the flight over the Novosibirsk region and the Perm region, three refueling procedures were performed.



It is reported that at the final stage of the flight, the crews of six aircraft engaged in the search and destruction of training targets. Despite the long duration of the previous flight, the pilots successfully coped with the tasks and destroyed the existing targets that were in the airspace of the landfill in the Astrakhan region.

After more than seven hours after departure from the Kansk airfield, all six interceptors arrived at Ashuluk base, where they landed. After arriving at the airfield in the Astrakhan region, the crews of the aircraft began to prepare for the implementation of new combat training tasks. As reported in early April, MiG-31BM aircraft were attracted to intercept training targets at different times of the day and successfully solved similar tasks.

The command of the Central Military District notes that at the moment only the crews of the 14 Army of the Air Force and Air Defense of the Central Military District have practical experience in long-distance flights on MiG-31BM airplanes with three refueling operations. According to the latest data, champions record holders are presented to state awards.

Recent exercises with a flight to record range are a clear demonstration of the capabilities of the upgraded MiG-31BM interceptor. At present, a program is being implemented to repair and upgrade the MiG-31 front-line of all available modifications to the state of "BM". In the course of such work, the aircraft receive new electronic equipment, which significantly improves their performance. In addition, the nomenclature of weapons available for use by aircraft was markedly expanded.

The main innovation of the MiG-31BM project is the radar Zaslon-M with enhanced characteristics. When using such a radar, the maximum detection range of relatively large air targets reaches 320 km. Objects with EPR at the level of 20 sq. M, according to some data, can be detected from a distance of 400 km. The Zaslon-M station is capable of detecting and tracking 24 air targets, as well as providing simultaneous firing of 8 of them.

As part of the modernization project, a new equipment for the pilot and navigator-operator cockpits was created. A characteristic drawback of the previous modifications of the MiG-31 was the restriction of the information displayed on the crew dashboards. In the course of modernization, aircraft receive updated cabin equipment that solves this problem. Now the pilot can not only control the aircraft, but also monitor the tactical situation in the air, the instruments in the navigator’s workplace are similarly modified.

The main armament of the MiG-31BM remains the long-range air-to-air missiles, the P-33C, according to some reports capable of hitting targets at a distance of up to 300 km. It also became possible to carry and use air-to-surface guided missiles of various types designed to engage ground targets, radar stations, ships, etc. In complex managed weapons for destruction of ground objects can be adjusted bombs. Thus, after the modernization of the MiG-31BM ceases to be only an interceptor and is able to perform combat missions of a different kind.

A few years ago, a decision was made concerning the further fate of interceptors of the MiG-31 family. It was proposed to repair and upgrade parts of such equipment for different projects. In particular, it was intended to bring the 31 aircraft to the state of the MiG-60BM. Some other cars had only to go through repairs, and some others, the state of which left much to be desired, were planned to be written off. Reports of the modernization of the MiG-31 project "BM" appeared in 2012-13 years. Soon the necessary work started, which, according to some data, is nearing completion. According to different sources, the armed forces have so far received up-to-date MiG-40BMs up to 50-31.

Successful implementation of the planned modernization of the drill technology allows you to return all the required interceptors to the service, as well as attract them to participate in various exercises. For example, at the end of March several aircraft from the Kansk air base took part in joint air defense and aviation maneuvers of the Central Military District. During this event, the crews of six MiG-31BM interceptors set a new record for the range of similar aircraft. In addition, they carried out the search and destruction of training purposes. Thus, the service of updated technology continues and is accompanied by new achievements.

                        You are of course right in many ways, but the production of P-60 ceased in the USSR, taking into account the warranty period of storage of 20 years, they should all be decommissioned.

                        This photo was taken 4 years ago, agree that this is not such a short time, but we are talking about that. what is now. In addition, a number of signs show that the Su-24 in the photo is not in flight condition.

                    For the first time, the Air Force received a missile, not only capable of hitting targets maneuvering with 6-7 units overloads. (according to some reports and more), but also almost without imposing restrictions on the carrier aircraft (permissible overload - 7) and almost without dead zone. An uncooled GOS was used on it, having a coordinator pumping angle of +/- 45 °, a targeting angle of 12 °, and an angular tracking speed of up to 30 ° / s. The R-60M missile received a cooled GOS capable of receiving target designation within the limits of the pumping angle, including, as already mentioned from the Metka-Ts joystick on the RUS, and had an instantaneous capture angle of 2.5 °. The missile could attack targets in angles 1 / 4-4 / 4, in addition, its warhead was increased from 3 to 3.5 kg. R-60M appeared in service in the late 70s (various sources write from 1977 to 1979). The MK modification is considered to be purely exported, however, it had warheads with depleted uranium rods and improved cooling of the gas mains. The effective range of the R-60 / 60M / MK missiles was 0.2-1.5 km at altitudes up to 5 km and height / 2 at large.

          As for "there was only one regiment" - it was one regiment of the 203rd APSZ in Diaghilevo after the collapse of the USSR, so it remains. Before the collapse of the USSR, the Il-78 also had only one regiment - this is the 409th APSZ in Uzin. His equipment went to Ukraine, these were IL-78s of early years of production, and all of them were resold by Ukrainians to Pakistan, Algeria and others, and partly cut. The 203rd APSZ was reorganized from a bomber to a filling station after the collapse of the USSR and was equipped with relatively young Il-78s, produced in 1988-1991. They still fly and fly.

              Firstly - why do you need new ones? The boundaries of the extension of the raid 30 000 hours and 8000 cycles. For the majority of IL-76 / 78 1986-1991 years of production for the 2015 year, the operating time was about 6-7 thousand hours and 2-4 thousand cycles. Those. in raid, the resource is less than a third depleted, and in cycles not more than 40-50%. This is for 25-30 years of operation. So, in theory, even before 2045, they can fly with quality service.

The only full-fledged interception system we have is the MiG-31, and the T-50 cannot compete with it in this.

    Since the route length exceeded the range of MiG-31BM interceptors, Il-78 tankers were involved in the operation. So, during the flight over the Novosibirsk region and the Perm region, three refueling procedures were performed.

    Remarkably, of course, but how many Il-78 tankers remain in the ranks? what

    this is only half of the question, the second half is no less important: to whom are the refuelers subordinate promptly? right, "long-distance". in case of a mess, your own shirt .... or will agree to the end of the mess. And yet, what record is the author talking about? by arithmetic, we have a ferry range of less than 2000 km. a quarter of a century ago, the Su-27 (of the early series!), not really straining, walked the Rogachevo-Crimean route as a group without refueling. and no one called the su-27 a long-range interceptor

    Well, as if the Su-27 had slightly different tasks, the 4 Mig-31s control a 600 km strip along the front, and a long flight with supersonic sound.

      Yeah, it’s exactly that the MiG-31 has different tasks and if refueling is necessary for it, then something is being done wrong. Refueling it makes sense only when on duty in the air.

    Ahrenet, 7 hours .. 3 refueling .. Poor NATO pilots, sometimes they fly for days .. (of course on bombers). But 3-4 refueling in the air for the F-15/16 is not news.
    It is clear that it is not an ordinary flight for 50-60 minutes, but you do not need to make something supernatural out of this, and immediately to the "Hero's Star"

    All this, of course, is interesting, but what is the practical sense in this? Machines are not designed for such long flights, the MiG-31 mission, take-off, interception, destruction, and return. The tasks of escorting percussion machines are not posed before them and will not be set for this. There are Su-27 derivatives. For distillation operations, it is easier to make one or two landings. how to attract expensive refuelers.

    American friends create a technique of gaining superiority, a means of attacking the enemy. At the same time, it’s clear that flying to the goal will come from far away - and here is the result, a kind of technical school. We have slightly different tasks - defending borders, and the technique is slightly different.

    What is it like? They do not go for export, because they are not needed by anyone. Enough for the protection of its borders - airfields. Even in Novaya Zemlya, it seems, they did it ... They still have no opportunity to intercept the strategists who launch the KR from 3-5 thousand km. Their goals are AWACS (Hokai with options) or Poseidons (options). In the fighter version of winning excellence, not a ride. Actually, I don’t see the tangible advantages of this aircraft .. Only that we have about 3 hundred of them .. and modernization is still needed, and there is simply nothing to replace.
    PS: Tell me, what does he do the best? Don't just talk about "Zaslon" and speed, and what can act as a "command" car .. All this is rather arbitrary .. But the "minuses" of the aircraft - a lot.

      In China and the United States, the airfield network is many times larger. We have a lot of airfields over the past 20 years eliminated. Most of the existing ones need repair and modernization.

          Your map is formally operating airfields, but not all of them are now based. Well, and what side did Mongolia hit? what My taken from this resource, I recommend it.

                I ran over your tip.

                It is a pity that again Khibina did not burn his radars, and did not destroy all the electronics wassat
                But what about the crew? He a couple of months all resigned, according to our state media? belay We recruited quickly, it seems not so difficult to serve on the destroyer laughing

                But by the way, 24 went beautifully - very low. Yes At 34, I think it will be even more difficult - shaking torments ...

                  Yes, and the Su-34 would have been able to, there is no such talk over the sea. Moreover, it decreased for a short time.

      ?

      So for reference, we have (BIGGEST COUNTRY on the Globe) of airfields from 270 to 300, units.

      The USA has airfields for 14000 units (and maybe already for more)
