Aircraft upgrading programmes

Upgrading is aimed at improving aircraft combat capabilities, accuracy of munitions, operational and maintenance characteristics, and safety and reliability, reducing costs and introducing and deploying new types of weapons.

Upgrading is possible for Su-22, Su-24(M), Su-25, Su-27 and Su-30 aircraft already supplied or being supplied at present.

Upgrading can be generic or customised, based on Customers’ requests, including installation of Western-made equipment.

Joint testing of upgraded aeroplanes can be arranged either in the RF or on site.

OMP updating for subsequent operation

Development of upgrading proposals

To ensure customer satisfaction, the Su aircraft series upgrading programme provides for full incorporation of requests of foreign Customers, first of all aircraft users. Each aircraft type can be upgraded under any of three programmes available to maximum, optimal, and minimum extent.

The information is presented in the form of attractive booklets, which are extensively used in promotion.
