Phantom_II Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 Su-33 Upgrade 1999 Sukhoi/KnAAPO/Rosvooruzheni brochure described a Su-33 Upgrade configuration, though there is no real evidence that any such programme has been funded. The cockpit is to gain two large colour LCD multifunction displays, with a modernised flight control/navigation system and enhanced air-to-ground capabilities. The upgraded Su-33 is to be compatible with the R-77 (AA-12 “Adder”) AAM and with a range of air-to-ground PGMs, including TV-guided Kh-29, Kh-59N, KAB-500Kr and KAB-1500Kr and laser-guided Kh-29L, KAB-500L, and KAB-1500L. The use of the Kh-31P will give the aircraft an effective SEAD capability. more http://www.deagel.com/Air-to-Air-Missiles/R-77_a001032001.aspx So ED , do u have some upgrade plans for su-33 ? :smilewink: [sIGPIC]http://i28.tinypic.com/2jca26f.gif[/sIGPIC]
Boberro Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 (edited) Eeeh... ;) IIRC there were no any deeper modernization (missiles require that!) - but only common repairs to increase flying time. Also Russia is replacing old Su-33s with MiG-29K. So there won't be unrealistic modifications. Edited March 27, 2010 by Boberro Reminder: Fighter pilots make movies. Bomber pilots make... HISTORY! :D | Also to be remembered: FRENCH TANKS HAVE ONE GEAR FORWARD AND FIVE BACKWARD :D ಠ_ಠ ツ
Vekkinho Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 I believe this real Su-33 upgrade never saw the light of day! There's like 15-20 airworthy Naval Flankers today and all of them are Su-27K standard! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
GGTharos Posted March 27, 2010 Posted March 27, 2010 So ED , do u have some upgrade plans for su-33 ? :smilewink: For an upgrade that was never funded? Probably not. I have to say it's been a while since this particular projected-upgrade-passed-off-as-fact-but-never-funded has come up.
