Multipurpose fighter Su-35S, which until the end of the year told to take the Air Force Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, is being inducted with foreign components. Import substitution program for this machine is not designed or approved, and on how many aircraft purchased enough equipment and devices is unknown.
The fact that the Su-35S will go to the army with imported components, "Gazeta.ru" said a source in the Military-Industrial Commission under the Government of Russia.
"Abroad, including the Ukraine, produce individual components and assemblies. There's the whole board electronics is built on foreign element base. And given that this is a completely electronic aircraft is a serious problem.
We have no such components and is not expected. What to do, is not yet decided, the first aircraft will be used for that is what it is for a foreign element, and then we will think "
- Told the "Gazety.Ru".
Sergei Shoigu announced plans rearmament of the Russian army in 2015. The main trend - increasing the share of modern military equipment ... →
Tuesday on a conference call in the new control center Shoigu called the country's defense supply Su-35S troops in one of the priorities.
"The main challenge for this year - to provide quality testing of the aircraft and bring it to the characteristics of the tactical and technical requirements of the job" - said Shoigu.
Su-35S was developed in 2006 based on the multi-purpose fighter Su-35, which, in turn, is an extension of the famous Su-27. Another modification of the aircraft - the Su-30 - is supplied to the troops.
The new aircraft is equipped with a radar with a phased antenna array (gives a picture of the situation of high-definition) and motors allows us to develop a supersonic cruising speed (the same engines are on the fifth-generation fighter T-50).
In the United Aircraft Corporation declined to comment on the situation, saying: "The problem with the production of Su-35s we have." At the same time, a source close to the corporation "Sukhoi", explained that the number of components of the aircraft can not be replaced ever.
"Basically, there is a foreign components every" rassypuha ": for example, valves, nasosik adjustment and so on. They penny, but it takes time to get them to do here. But the problem is not with them, and in the electronic element base, which no one is going to have to do. A number of chips, we can not be replaced by anything, so you have to buy them off the shelf. This is dangerous, because they though made in Asian countries, but developed in Western countries, primarily the United States. And no one can guarantee that there is not some bookmarks and stuff "- noted" Gazety.Ru ".
He added that the replacement of parts until the Ukrainian speech also comes as no problems with them: Ukrainians continue to supply, although officially broke and cooperation with Russia.
