medal64Russian companies confirmed their interest in the serial production of Tu-204SM
MOSCOW, October 14.(ITAR-TASS). Russian companies supplying parts for new passenger aircraft Tu-204SM, confirmed its interest in its serial production, said Wednesday the president of “Tupolev” Alexander Bobryshev.
“In September and October 2010, specialists of OAO” Tupolev “conducted a series of meetings and negotiations on the organization of production and supply of Tu-204SM. Companies that manufacture components for it, have confirmed their interest in continuing the program – said Bobryshev. – They are ready share the financial risks of production, which until recently took on the largely plant Aviastar-SP in Ulyanovsk.
According Bobrysheva, on the basis of negotiations “Tupolev” with the state corporation Russian Technologies and equipment suppliers for the Tu-204SM determined that “the basic heading may reduce the cost of domestic components to 27-30 percent. Subject to firm order 44 aircraft until 2016. Is taken to finance the delivery of aircraft leasing company Ilyushin Finance.
In turn, the general director of Ilyushin Finance Alexander Rubtsov held in the capital on the international forum “Wings of Russia” was told that by the end of this year will be completed by concluding a deal to acquire a large batch, about 40 Tu-204SM.
Tu-204SM is a deep modernization of the Tu-204-100E.The new airliner for 10-12 percent exceeds the base model for fuel efficiency and maintainability. “The high competitiveness of the Tu-204SM is particularly important for the Russian airlines in the fall of their purchasing power since the financial crisis”, – stressed the head of “Tupolev”.
medal64India will equip the Su-30MKI fighters with radar AFAR
Indian Air Force intends to equip the Su-30MKI fighters with radar “Zhuk-AE” with an active phased array antenna production of the Russian company Fazotron, reports Aviation Week . Presumably, the new radars will be installed at Indian aircraft since 2012, when the program will begin large-scale modernization of the Su-30MKI.
As the newspaper notes, the Indian military were able to familiarize yourself with the Russian radar in the tests of the MiG-35, participating in a tender to supply 126 combat vehicles.On this plane was set to “stripped down” version of the Zhuk-AE “, while on production machines will be serving as the full radar. In addition, the “Zhuk-AE will be installed on the Indian fifth-generation fighter, which India will develop jointly with Russia based on the Russian T-50.
Currently, the Su-30MKI fighters worth radars with passive phased array N011M. He is able to simultaneously maintain 15 air targets and fire up to four of them. The radar can detect targets such as “Fighter” at a distance of 140 kilometers. At the same time, “Zhuk-AE” is able to simultaneously track 30 targets and conduct simultaneous firing of eight of them.Aerial targets such as “fighter” with AFAR radar can detect at a distance of 200 kilometers.

medal64Russia will be able to create drones without Israel – Concern Vega
MOSCOW, September 23 – RIA Novosti. Russia without the aid of Israel will be able to overcome the gap existing today in the creation of domestic unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), including the military, said in an interview with RIA Novosti on Thursday, CEO of Concern “Vega” (the main developer for drones power structures of Russia), Vladimir Verba.
On Thursday, news portal Flightglobal.com , citing an unnamed source in defense circles, the Jewish state said that Israel might reconsider a sale of Russian UAV because the intention of Russia to put Syria’s anti-ship missiles Yakhont .
“In the next two or three years will be a breakthrough in the domestic market this equipment regardless of the position of Israeli companies on this issue” – said Verba.
According to him, the Russian market of unmanned aircraft in the near term is 300 billion rubles.
He said that on behalf of the military-industrial commission, which was granted in May 2008, concern Vega has developed a comprehensive program for the establishment and development of unmanned vehicles in Russia until 2025.
“Such a program we developed. We got her positive opinion from customers in the face of the FSB, the Interior Ministry, Emergencies Ministry and other organizations”, – said Verba.According to him, is currently being agreed positions with the Ministry of Defence of the country.
“Creation, adoption of a comprehensive program will open up this market, make it transparent and understandable to the enterprise industry in Russia could have a clear vision – what systems should be established in the country for the future” – said Verba.
He also said that the company was “Vega” is developing unmanned strike systems for the Russian army. “This work on the drums drones are now in collaboration with the Joint Aviation Corporation (UAC). Here we have a common understanding, there are works that we perform at their own expense,” – said Verba.
Currently domestic UAV, as claimed in the leadership of the Defense Ministry can not compete with foreign in any of the parameters. Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov earlier said that his agency will buy domestic drones only on condition that the defense industry will be able to produce vehicles that meet the requirements of the military.
In turn, First Deputy Defense Minister Vladimir Popovkin said that Russia has spent a total of 5 billion rubles for the development and testing of domestic drones, which ultimately failed.
According to the Center for Analysis of the global arms trade (TSAMTO) , Moscow signed two agreements for the purchase of Israeli drones . According to the contract signed in April 2009, Israel put two UAVs “Bird ah-400” (worth 4 million dollars), eight UAVs “Eye View” Mk150 (37 million dollars) and two UAVs “Sercher” Mk.2 (12 million dollars). Later, according to TSAMTO, a contract was signed, providing for the purchase of 36 drones, presumably, the amount of $ 100 million.
In recent days, virtually all the top Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman and Defense Minister Ehud Barak, has expressed concern about Russia’s intention to sell the Syrian party supersonic missiles Yakhont able to shore and the sea hit enemy ships at a distance of up to 300 km. Netanyahu, according to press reports, acknowledged that Israel has tried, but failed to prevent the transaction now has to take concrete steps to neutralize the increased threats in the region.
Discussion of the missile deal came on the public level, after statements by the Minister and Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov, who last Friday made it clear that Russia will not abandon supply Yakhont “Syria

medal64Thanks for the pictures vympel 😉 In my opinion its a very weak modernisation but hope to see it in a flying bird!
medal64Seems like Tu-22M3s needs a big modernisation before the show up the cockpit! As you know after the Georgia-Russia conflict army’s interest increased for the reconnaise UAV’s because of ineffective old systems. And there are some rumours about they will leave the inventory if they don’t get modernised in the near future.
medal64Russian MIC itching to create carrier based drone
Russia starts developing drones for aircraft carriers
A deck-based drone for prospective Russian warships could be developed in ten years, if ordered, a source in the military-industrial complex told Interfax-AVN on Friday.
“One of our design bureaus has started on its own initiative the development of a carrier-based strike and reconnaissance drone. If the Defense Ministry assigns this task to us in 2010, the drone will be ready for serial production in the 2020s, by the time the Navy’s Main Command hopes to have a new aircraft carrier built,” he said.
Two years will be spent preparing the blueprints and another three years creating an operating drone. At least a thousand test fights will have to be carried out, initially from the deck of a simulator carrier, and then from an aircraft carrier, the source said.
“This timeframe may seem too long at first sight. But the work to develop a drone, from start to operation, usually lasts over ten years,” he said
“Since no technical assignment has been given to develop the drone, its technical characteristics are only a conjecture,” the source said.

medal64News from interfax;
“Russia starts developing drones for aircraft carriers”
And there were talks with Motor Sich and Russian Vega company about jet engines for future combat drones!
medal64seems I’ve heard the same before…about dozen times
Agreed, hope Its true 🙂
medal64You can briefly see the cockpit on the video below (@ 0:07):
Thanks lenevolk but its Su-27SM cockpit 🙂
medal64Thanks Paralay hope to see the real one 🙂
medal64Is it still mystery the cockpit of this fighter? After we saw the cockpit of the PAK-FA maybe the reason is its outdated mechanic displays!
medal64I remember that one of the statements of the Ilya Fedorov or Yuri Yeliseev has said that the work for the 2nd stage engine will be shared around the companies who are best at some components and the work for the nozzle of the 2nd. stage engine will conduct by the Klimov company! In my opinion this archievement is such a technology demonstrator and will help the works after it but the real deal will probably be different from it!
medal64Well medal64, if it does that. The Serie prod Pak-Fa will suffer in Aerodynamic performance.
If one compair the “51” and that illustration its pretty clear that the huge space underneath between the airducts/engines add lots of high-lift advantage both on Flanker and the “51” prototype.
The superb slowspeed handeling will also suffer this way, which would mean some of the overall stability too..
Its pros & cons all the way, as with everything else regarding aircraft design.To put it simple, do you want better agility or bigger internal weapons bay?
You wont get both;)Thanks
As I said for better stealth capabilities and bigger internal bays 🙂 The agility is the key factor for the close combat but for the 5th gen. aircrafts, radar, weapons and the stealth capabilities should be the most important factors at a war!
medal64In my opinion the latest configuration of weapon bays should be similar to this bird for stealthy and for more weapons!
