Israel will take up the modernization of the Ukrainian MiG-29

July 31 2020 50

The Israeli company Elbit Systems will be engaged in the modernization of the Ukrainian fourth generation MiG-29 fighters. This is reported by Defense Express. The data on Israel's plans were confirmed by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

According to the source, improvements to the aircraft will bring the combat capabilities of the MiG-29 to a new level. The fighter will be equipped with a new weapon control system, as well as an updated on-board radar.

Two months earlier, the upgraded MiG-29MU2 of the Ukrainian Air Force carried out firing practice with X-29 guided missiles at ground targets at the Povur training ground in the Volyn region.

In June, it became known about attempts by Bulgaria, which is armed with the MiG-29, to sell these aircraft. However, Sofia could not find buyers.

Two years ago, the Ukrainian authorities planned to convert this fighter into an attack aircraft, supplying it with guided weapons and unguided aircraft weapons, but the Russian side warned them against such attempts. The MiG aircraft construction company then noted that there was no point in making a mediocre attack aircraft out of a good fighter.

The MiG-29 is a fourth generation multipurpose fighter aircraft that first entered service in the Soviet Union in 1983.

The Israelis have significant experience in modernizing old Soviet equipment, they have carried out these works for various customers and are always successful. So Ukrainian fighters after modernization will be better than new ones.

  Colleague from Haifa, here from Netanya it seems to me that even our Elbit will not help breathe the scent of a rose into the old shit. People over there are still buying phantoms, but the Bulgarians failed to sell them on the twenty-ninth.

    As far as I understand, no one expects that the old Ukrainian MiG-29 fighters, modernized by Israeli specialists, will reach the level of the latest aircraft of their class in terms of their combat capabilities. However, in the foreseeable future, Ukrainian pilots will not have to confront opponents in the sky on the F-35, Eurofighter Typhoon, or even on the old F-15. Their likely enemy will be flying on the same scrap metal, but not going through the Israeli upgrade.

        I think that there will be buyers besides the Ukrainians for the Israeli F-16C, F-16D and F-16I, so there will not be enough money for such purchases. But it is quite within Ukraine's means to pay for training from Israeli instructors of Ukrainian pilots and technical personnel in order to improve professionalism. Everything here will depend on the behavior of the Kremlin, if the Russians start supplying Iran with new types of weapons - the Israelis, as a response, will cooperate more closely with the Ukrainian military, and such a prospect for Russia is highly undesirable ...

        You are careful, but I personally would start delivering right now.
        Because I’m looking at historical statistics and I see that the Russians do not arm the Arabs against us only when they themselves sit on Bush’s legs. Then they are peaceful and polite.
        So, the Sixteenths today would distract them a little from our places.

        The Israeli-modified F-16s are undoubtedly a formidable force in any theater of operations, but only on condition that they are piloted by Israeli pilots and Israeli commanders are in charge of the flights. Well, I hope you don’t think that IDF servicemen should go to battle for Nenka Ukraine? Yes, and with Putin, in my opinion, the Israelis have no reason to quarrel - he is far from the worst version of the Russian ruler, as people who know him personally believe, is not infected with the virus of anti-Semitism widespread in Russia.

Wah! Sanctions, they say, war, Donbass ...
BUT!

however, the Russian side warned them against such attempts.

- that is, friendly help ... The enemy? Neighbor? Business partner?
And they gave the Jews to modernize.

  In general, Sergey, it surprised me too. This is the type of Stalin advising Guderian not to drive through the swamps, otherwise our tanks will also get stuck there.
  Che is a strange war. With such mutual hatred and 13000 corpses, they gentlemanly advise how the enemy is best to moderate combat aircraft.

  And this is not required. There are two Jews above who have already modernized and defeated everyone))) These are clowns, even though you don't go to the circus. But seriously, it is necessary to supply any weapon to any enemy of Israel. This is what will be called - to destroy the enemy on their territory. And Vova has been driving some shepherds on MIGs for many years already. In short, as everyone predicted, we got bogged down in Syria because of this. Now it starts to grow in my head, what is wrong with our president. He stupidly does not squeeze (does not finish what he started), and so in everything. The main thing for him is to crow, but no one asks for the result anyway, well, here he is not, or "it turned out as always." We ourselves are to blame for this, we nailed this carcass on the shield and rush with it. And he is just a hired worker, and accountable, and as we see after the fall in oil prices, he is no better than Yeltsin. The only difference is that it doesn't thump in the open. But this is another advantage - maybe he is expanding, who knows.
