Air group "Kursk"
Writes dmitrydreamer (dmitrydreamer):
March 12, 2012 marks 96 years since the establishment of the first Russian fighter regiments. Today we visit the Buturlinovka Voronezh region, which temporarily deployed Kursk Air Group equipped with MiG-29 SMT and MiG-29UBT.
Many ph, after mayaknu!
Now crews 4+ generation advanced fighters are preparing for the live-fire aviation Western Military District "Ladoga-2012". Already started training flights the young graduates of flying schools. In addition, in the near future MiG-29 SMT Kursk air group to intercede on combat duty for the protection of the western and south-western borders of our homeland.
The assistant commander for educational work (political officer in the old way), the Major Alexander Solodov shows pressure suit WCC-6M. It serves for the sustenance of the pilot when flying at high altitudes. For flights at altitudes of over 12 km in space suit oxygen is supplied to mechanical compression of the body. This compensates for the excess pressure in the lungs. Suit provides withstand stresses of up to 10 units.
Deputy squadron commander explained the essence of today's flight program, which will take place day and night in adverse weather conditions:
- Will work out simple and complex aerobatics and combat use. In addition, the technique will be improved piloting during landing and when flying in the clouds.
The commander of the air group "Kursk" Ruslan Kupchin in 1990 he graduated from the Kachin Military Aviation School. In December 2010, he was appointed kolmandira aviation group. He said that the raid pilots on average 112 hours a year. The fleet as a whole, they are happy, of course, there are some aircraft have "children" of the disease, but they are gradually eliminated. By the way, the MiG-29 SMT although it was accepted for service, but currently still undergoing combat tests
Since January 2011, the Kursk Air Group based in Buturlinovka, because as a mother passes the airfield reconstruction of the runway.
Very interesting history of the emergence of these aircraft in service. They were originally made for Algeria, but were rejected by the customer after the transfer. In 2009, 24 "Algerian" MiG transferred to an air base in Kursk and Lipetsk.
Algeria bought 34 aircraft in two versions - the MiG-29 SMT and combat training MiG-29UBT. In 2006-2007, the customer received 15 fighters, but stopped their acceptance under the guise of the identified deficiencies. "Algerian" planes have become one of the most modern in the Russian Air Force. We have about three hundred MiG-29 of various modifications, but the last of which were delivered only in 1993. By the time of transmission "Algerian" MiGs flew no more than 80 hours.
MiG-29UBT. This and other "Sparky" Air Group refueling boom on the fuel system is not connected, ie you can work out the "suction cup", but fuel can not be obtained. The aircraft has the same structure as avionics, as well as the MiG-29 SMT, but is not equipped with on-board radar.
Jetstream - a great tool for cleaning the strip of ice!
The flight.
MiG-29UBT.
After landing, technicians downloads, speaking programmers' language logs - information about the status of the aircraft that has accumulated during the flight. It is appropriate to say that the concept of the MiG-29 SMT based on the fact that this is the first aircraft in Russia, servicing and repairs which will be held not the timetable but on the basis of its real condition. Such an approach would greatly reduce the cost of operating the MiG. Along with the increase in the assigned resource glider from 4000 to 6000 hours this leads to a decrease in the cost of flying hours by 40% and to increase the criterion of "cost-effectiveness" of the MiG-29 SMT compared with earlier versions of 3, 3 times.
Next we went to the preflight briefing.
After the dissolution of Buturlinovka Regiment of Su-25, while the air base was empty. And if, for example, in Voronezh, some irresponsible citizens want to get rid of the "Baltimore" in Buturlinovka opposite situation. Local beneficial to the military to stay here, because it's the jobs and economic activity of the population
By the way about the economy. Pilots earn good: Major salary, flight commander - 67 thousand rubles, and ground staff receives 42-47 thousand.
On weekends, pilots can go home to Kursk - not the distance of 400 km.
Aircrew very young. Most pilots born in 1983 and younger.
The essence of the training of air combat is. Take off two aircraft at intervals of 5-10 minutes. One plane - the goal, the second - a fighter. From the command post aircraft divorced at a distance to work on radar sight - about 30-40 km. Next, the goal plane is flying along the route, and performs istrebiteld guidance. Once the ACT report the irradiation, the aircraft target to perform maneuvers to thwart the attack. Depending on the job, the flights single, a couple or a link.
As already mentioned, the aircraft is on military trials. Says Major Solodov:
- There were questions about the avionics, engineers came from Mikoyan's office, explained: first turn it is, then what. We say, on the contrary it is written in the manual. And they are: We listen!
Diesel!
Periscope on a second cabin.
...
K-36DM series 2 - ejection seat. Considered one of the best and most reliable ejection seats in the world.
Underwing pylons suspension arms.
Quantum optical-location station 13C of the MiG-29 and its modifications. It is intended for search, detection and tracking of targets by their thermal radiation at all altitudes. It allows you to lock on target, without revealing its presence, as is the case with the use of radar.
