National Guard's aircraft mows down moose while landing in central Russian airstrip
June 14, 12:09 UTC+3
The aircraft will feature a strapdown inertial navigation system, a new astronavigation system and a whole number of instruments, including a new satellite navigation system
MOSCOW, June 14. /TASS/. Russia has launched R&D work to develop a defensive aids system for modernized Tupolev Tu-160M2 strategic bombers to shield them from all types of missiles, Adviser to the first deputy CEO of Radio-Electronic Technologies Group (KRET) Vladimir Mikheyev told TASS on Wednesday.
"We understand that they [the bombers] will have a principally new defensive aids system which is being developed as part of a new R&D effort. It will protect against all possible types of missiles. The system will detect targets at a distance of several hundred kilometers," Mikheyev said.
These upgraded bombers also need high-precision navigation, he added.
"In this area, the requirements for navigation are changed completely. In this sense, everything will be principally new. The aircraft will feature a strapdown inertial navigation system, a new astronavigation system and a whole number of instruments, including a new satellite navigation system," Mikheyev said.
A defense system comprises integrated technical means designed to identify and classify a threat of destruction of the protected object, and also to neutralize it.
Russian Deputy Defense Minister Yuri Borisov said earlier that Tu-160M2 strategic bombers and the designed Perspective Airborne Complex of Long-Range Aviation (PAK DA) should be maximally unified for radio-electronic equipment.
According to Borisov, the Russian industry has been assigned the task to repeatedly use the equipment designed for Tu-160M2 bombers to avoid overlapping costs in the preparation of aircraft production and R&D works.
Russian Defense Ministry Army General Sergei Shoigu said at a recent hearing in the upper house of Russia’s parliament that the serial production of the modernized Tu-160M2 strategic missile carrier was planned to be launched after 2021.
The idea to restart the production of the Tu-160M2 strategic bomber in its modernized version was put forward by Defense Minister Shoigu in April 2015 during his visit to the Kazan Aviation Enterprise, a subsidiary of Tupolev Aircraft Company. In May that year, Russian President Vladimir Putin gave instructions to restart the production of these bombers. In October 2016, Deputy Defense Minister Borisov said that 50 such aircraft were planned for production so far.

Russia mulls working on a light airborne early warning and control (AWACS) aircraft.
TAGANROG (Sputnik) — The Russian Defense Ministry is working out the issue of creating a light airborne early warning and control (AWACS) aircraft, Deputy Defense Minister Yury Borisov said Friday.
Borisov on Friday visited the Beriev Aircraft Company that manufactures the Beriev A-100 AWACS aicraft.
"I think that we will raise the issue of creating such an aircraft system, possibly based on a light transport aircraft, before the industry. At least, there are analogues of such an aircraft in the world," the deputy minister said.

Russia’s fleet of combat aircraft will reach 90 percent renewal before 2025, the Aerospace Forces’ Commander Viktor Bondarev told Krasnaya Zvezda (Red Star) newspaper.
The Aerospace Forces receive 150-160 new warplanes and helicopters annually as part of the State Armament Program until 2020, and dozens of S-400, Buk-M3, Tor-M2 and other advanced air-defense systems enter service each year.
No imports
With its current fleet of 3,000 warplanes and about 1,400 helicopters the Russian Aerospace Forces are second only to the US Air Force, Andrei Kots wrote for RIA Novosti.
“The all-new MiG-35 fighter jets will soon be added to the formidable force of Su-30SM and Su-35S planes, and the dated Su-24 frontline bombers are being quickly phased out by the all-new Su-34s,” military expert Viktor Murakhovsky told Sputnik.
“The mass-production of the T-50 fifth-generation fighter planes is scheduled to begin before 2020 and we have dozens of new Mi-28N, Mi-35, Ka-52 and upgraded Mi-8 helicopters shipped to the Armed Forces each year,” he added.
Viktor Murakhovsky also mentioned the fast pace of modernization of such tried-and-true planes as the Su-24 bombers, which are being equipped with modern targeting gear making sure that conventional free-falling bombs hit their targets just as accurately as their “smart’ counterparts.
“Just five years ago we depended very much on Ukrainian-made helicopter engines, but they are now entirely built in Russia by the United Aircraft Corporation, which managed to completely overhaul their production facilities. The same with cruise missile engines,” Murakhovsky continued.
Tupolev Concern’s CEO Alexander Konyukhov said in May that before 2019 they planned to test-fly the Tu-160M2, which is a souped-up version of the Tu-160 strategic bomber and will eventually become the backbone of Russia’s fleet of strategic bombers.
Transport aircraft
Military transports remain a problem though, because such aircraft were mostly built in what are now former Soviet republics. Trying to cope with the problem, the Defense Ministry singled out four types of military transports the Armed Forces need most: the An-26 light, An-12 medium, Il-76 heavy and An-112 super-heavy transport planes.
“In the Soviet Union Il-76 transport planes were built in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, but we are now building them here in Russia,” Viktor Murakhovsky said.
“Two or three years from now we are going to start the mass production of the all-new Il-112 to replace to old An-26 and in part the An-12 transports,” he added.
Interviewed by Sputnik, military expert Mikhail Khodaryonok said that Russia’s aerial campaign in Syria highlighted the dire need for heavy long-haul transport planes.
“Luckily, we are now able to build Il-76s in Russia. To a certain degree they can replace the An-112. We are pinning much hope on the arrival of the new Yermak plane, but when exactly this is going to happen we don’t know,” Khodaryonok noted.
"Yermak," the latest development of Russian aircraft manufacturers in the field of military transport aircraft, will have a lifting capacity of up to 100 tons and will be powered by a new engine based on the PD-14 turbofan, used on Russia’s latest MC-21 airliners. With a projected thrust of 30 tons, it will pack much more horsepower than that of the An-124.
Serial production of the Yermak military transports is scheduled to begin before 2024.

Russian pilots are amazing, and very brazen. How many pilots from other countries would attempt to land a MiG-31 with a massive fuel leak and those huge engines and gigantic hot nozzles? Then let it finish leaking and film it up close.
