Russian aviation. Russian Aviation Who invented the Su 34 aircraft

The development of the bomber (at first classified as a fighter-bomber) Su-27IB, which had the factory code T-10B, began in the early 1980s. under the general leadership of M.P. Simonov. R.G. Martirosov was appointed chief designer of the aircraft.

Initially, work on the T-10B went in the direction of modifying the two-seater Su-27UB aircraft, into the virtually unchanged airframe design of which it was supposed to incorporate new electronic equipment and weapons. However, later it was decided to place the crew nearby, which promised to increase the effectiveness of combat use and flight safety. In addition, this arrangement made it possible to get rid of duplication of a number of devices. The ergonomics of the cockpit were also improved, making it possible to carry out longer flights.

The next step was the use of a wing with a new influx, on which the front horizontal tail was located. It was decided to abandon the adjustable air intake, which was determined by the specifics of the combat use of the attack aircraft.

By 1990, the design of the new machine was largely completed and soon at the pilot production of the machine-building plant named after. P.O. Sukhoi began work on transforming one of the serial combat training aircraft Su-27UB into a prototype of the T-10V-1 fighter-bomber (later known as the Su-34-1). At the Novosibirsk Aviation Plant named after. V.P. Chkalov produced a new nose section of the aircraft, which was installed on a modernized “Sparky” airframe. The air intakes and engine nacelles were also replaced.

The first flight of the converted aircraft took place on April 13, 1991 at the airfield of the LII named after. M.M.Gromova. The car was piloted by Honored Test Pilot A. Ivanov.

Simultaneously with the testing of the first prototype aircraft at the Novosibirsk plant named after. V.P. Chkalov began preparations for serial production of the fighter-bomber, which received another name - Su-34. At the end of 1993, the assembly of the first pre-production aircraft was completed, and on December 18, the Su-34 with tail number “43”, piloted by test pilots I.V. Votintsev and A.I. Gaivoronsky, took off for the first time. On March 3, 1994, he made a non-stop flight from Novosibirsk to the Moscow region, to the airfield in Zhukovsky. In the summer of 1994, this machine was publicly demonstrated for the first time at the International Aerospace Show in Paris. It was renamed again and appeared before the Parisians as the Su-32FN (FN - Fighter Navy, i.e. naval fighter). The English-language abbreviation in the name of the aircraft testified to the desire of its creators to promote the bomber on the world arms market (after repainting in new, “naval” colors, the aircraft also received a new tactical number “45”).

The creators of the Su-34 took into account the experience of combat use of aircraft at low altitudes. The cockpit of this aircraft is made (for the first time in world practice on aircraft of this class) in the form of an armored titanium capsule. Other vital structural elements, in particular the consumable fuel tank and engines, received similar protection. The total mass of structural protection elements was 1480 kg. All this, combined with the protective equipment already implemented on the Su-27 aircraft, provided the Su-34 with a high degree of survivability in low-altitude flight over an area saturated with air defense systems.

Another element that increases combat survivability is the presence of a second control for the navigator-operator. Long flights on the Su-34 have become much more comfortable. Crew members were able to stand up to their full height in the cabin, which allows them to restore the functionality of stiff muscles; a toilet and a cabinet for heating food were added to the cabin. The air system at an altitude of up to 10,000 m maintains pressure in the cabin corresponding to an altitude of 2,400 m, thanks to which the crew flies without oxygen masks. There is a powerful air conditioning system. All this ensures high performance of pilots in long flights lasting up to 10 hours, further increasing the combat potential of the Su-34.

The Su-34 is designed to destroy ground (surface), including small, mobile and stationary objects in the enemy’s tactical and operational depth, as well as air targets, day and night, in simple and adverse weather conditions.

Currently, the Su-34 is considered one of the highest priority programs of the Russian Air Force. According to a number of experts, the level of avionics of this machine allows it to be classified as a fifth-generation combat aircraft.

The aircraft has significant potential for further development. Currently, in addition to the bomber modification, work is underway to create new variants of the Su-34, in particular a reconnaissance aircraft and an electronic warfare aircraft. In the future, after the Rybinsk plant has mastered serial production of a new generation turbofan engine - AL-41F - with a maximum thrust of about 20,000 kgf, equipped with a thrust vector control system, which is expected in 2005; This engine is planned to be installed on the Su-34.

Design Features

Glider The Su-34 is designed according to the “integral longitudinal triplane” design and has a clearly defined integral layout. The wing, integrally coupled with the fuselage, is trapezoidal and has a sweep along the leading edge of 42°. The PGO is made all-rotating. The stabilizer is differentially deflectable. Compared to the Su-27, the shape of the cantilever parts of the wing and tail unit has been preserved virtually unchanged, but the wing flaps have been extended to the elliptical cross-section of the forward fuselage. The nose has been extended to accommodate the installation of a radar antenna. The nose cone of the aircraft has a flattened shape with developed side bulges and pointed edges. A radar with a small antenna is located inside the radome. It has no ventral ridges.

News about Su-32/34

• Combat tests of the new SU-27 IB strike fighter aircraft, which has no analogues in the world, are being completed in Chechnya. ITAR-TASS, 01/22/2000

This bomber looks more like an interceptor. It has an unofficial nickname, "Duckling", due to the specific shape of its nose. Until recently, little was written about it, but now news channels often show materials about Su-34 and Su-24M aircraft in the Syrian skies carrying out precision strikes on communication lines, headquarters and arsenals of the terrorist state ISIS. It can be argued that these frontline bombers became famous. The story will be about one of them.

History and prototype

The requirements for an interceptor and a front-line bomber are different and even somewhat mutually exclusive. However, Soviet aircraft manufacturers already have experience converting them into attack aircraft. The famous “Pawn” - Pe-2 - before the war was conceived as a twin-engine high-altitude heavy fighter. Defense needs “repurposed” it as a dive bomber, and although redesigning the design seemed problematic, it turned out very well. Something similar happened with the Su-27 interceptor. In 1986, the Sukhoi Design Bureau began working on its attack modification, designated T-10B, with the goal of ultimately implementing the concept of a universal “attack aircraft” capable of carrying a serious combat load to work on the battlefield and having sufficient maneuverability to fight back. enemy aircraft. During the design process, it became clear to the designers that a conventional twin cab was not suitable for this purpose. By 1990, the main thing had been done: a new bow with the famous “duck beak” appeared. By the mid-nineties, the Su-34 aircraft acquired its official name (it managed to fly both the T-10V-5 and the Su-32FN). But it officially entered service only in 2014.

Visible differences

Externally, the Su-34 is similar to its “ancestor” Su-27, at least from afar. Upon closer inspection, even a non-specialist will notice some obvious differences. The nose has been expanded, the pilots sit next to each other and not behind each other, the landing gear has become much more powerful, and, of course, the nose. At first glance, that’s basically it. In technical language, this means that the design is based on the airframe of the Su-27 interceptor, characterized as a normal two-fin aerodynamic design with all-moving elevators. Not immediately noticeable to the uninitiated eye are the lengthening (compared to the prototype) of the wing root flaps, the unadjustability of the air intakes, the absence of ventral fins and an increase in the number of external suspension units. For all its similarities to an interceptor, the Su-34 is a tactical bomber, and therefore must carry more and further than its prototype.

Cabin

Now you can understand the design changes in more detail. First of all, we will talk about the most obvious detail of the appearance. The Su-34 is a two-seater aircraft; entry into it is via a light ladder, the top edge of which rests on the hatch located behind the wings of the nose gear. This greatly simplifies the process for the pilot and navigator to take their seats. During the flight, the crew is provided with all the necessary conditions for comfortable living, including a food heating device, a thermos and a sewage disposal device. If one of the pilots thinks that he has been sitting too long, he can get up and warm up - there is enough space for this.

But the Su-34 aircraft is not only comfortable and ergonomic. The Sukhoi Design Bureau took care of the protection of the crew: they are in a special titanium armored capsule, the effectiveness of which has already been tested in practice. Approximately the same technology is used in the design of the Su-25 attack aircraft. The glazing of the canopy is also reliably armored.

Engines

Two AL-31F turbofan engines with a bypass ratio of 0.571 develop a thrust of 12.5 tons each, but in afterburner mode they can add another 300 kg.

In general, the power plant is the same as that of the Su-27. This may not be such a big figure, especially considering how much the Su-34 aircraft weighs. The Russian Aerospace Forces, however, believe that the power is quite enough to compete in the skies with the American F-15, created to solve approximately the same combat missions. Options are also possible, for example AL-35F engines, which develop up to 14 tons of thrust at afterburner.

On-board electronics

The Su-34 aircraft is equipped with a completely new avionics, which takes into account the requirements of increased reliability (due to duplication) and allows it to reach the target automatically, using satellite guidance. The detection range (even for small objects) reached 250 km. This applies to the search for submarines (even if they just raised their periscopes), reconnaissance, finding mined areas of the water area, etc. As for the tasks of direct operational target designation over the battlefield, this is done by a display on the windshield and helmet-mounted fire control “with a glance” , which can significantly reduce decision-making time. Such a wide range would not be possible without the use of high-speed computer hardware.

Fuel system

To increase the range, the aircraft requires more fuel. Four tanks (three inside the fuselage and one in the wing), as well as in-flight refueling systems, create the conditions for striking distant targets, which brings the Su-34’s capabilities closer to strategic models. There are two retractable booms; they are designed to work with air tankers of the Il-76 type and other tankers in service with the Russian Aerospace Forces. Also increasing the flight range is the possibility of suspending external tanks that are discarded after takeoff.

Crew rescue equipment

The pilots take their seats through the lower ladder, passing through the niche of the front pillar, and exit the aircraft along it if the flight ends without an emergency. Ejection is carried out in the traditional way, upward, and speed and altitude do not matter. With the help of K-36DM ejection seats, emergency escape from an airship is quite safe; each crew member is equipped with a radio beacon, a life raft, a first aid kit, food and other means of survival after landing. During flight, normal life activity is ensured by anti-g overalls, protective helmets and a supply of oxygen.

Chassis

The increase in take-off weight dictated special requirements for the new chassis - it became more powerful, of a bogie type. Possible damage, in the event of a full-scale military conflict, of the runways of the main airfields also became a condition for increased maneuverability for the use of the Su-34 aircraft from less prepared sites.

The new main struts became larger compared to the Su-27, which required additional space in the fuselage. That is why the mechanization of air intakes has been simplified.

Armament

To accommodate a variety of weapons systems, three ventral external suspension units and eight underwing ones are provided. In addition to them, the bomber has a built-in 30 mm cannon of the GSh-301 type. Since it is impossible to take into account all possible options for the development of the operational situation, means of conducting air combat are also provided. To destroy enemy aircraft, up to twelve long-range air-to-air missiles of the R-27 type, or 8 medium (R-77) or short-range (R-73) can be mounted on the suspensions. But the legendary Su-34 aircraft were not primarily created for air combat. The versatile weapon hits ground targets with high accuracy. These are cruise Kh-59M (up to 3 pcs.), conventional and anti-ship missiles, guided and unguided aerial bombs (high explosives from 100 to 500 kg), as well as NURS in cassettes.

Characteristics

The overall dimensions are approximately the same as the Su-27 (14.7 m wingspan, 22 m length and about 6 m height). Normal take-off weight is 39 tons, which is more than a heavy interceptor, but less than most tactical bombers. However, it can exceed 44 tons at maximum load. The plane reaches speeds of up to 900 km/h at an altitude of 11 thousand and 1400 km/h at the surface. The combat radius ranges from 600 to 1,130 km, depending on the amount of fuel and weapons, the ferry range reaches 4,500 km. Ceiling (practical) - 17 thousand. The maximum operational overload corresponds to the requirements for maneuverable interceptors - 7 g.

Combat experience

Only an analysis of episodes of direct participation in specific military conflicts can give a true idea of ​​the advantages and disadvantages that the Su-34 combat aircraft has. The technical characteristics themselves speak volumes, but since this bomber was not exported, it can only be judged by the reviews of Russian pilots and the results of its operation in a real situation. During the South Ossetian operation, Su-34s were not used for direct fire strikes, but they contributed to suppressing the activity of Georgian air defense systems, creating electronic interference that disoriented them. For this purpose, for the first time in practice, compact electronic warfare systems “Khibiny” were used, installed on external suspension units.

From the very beginning of the military operation over the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic, the Russian air group included six Su-34 bombers, which this time are used for their intended purpose, namely to carry out strikes using ultra-precision weapons. In the area of ​​Raqqa and Madan-Jadida, they destroyed command posts, communication centers, arsenals, training camps and other infrastructure facilities of the army of the terrorist state. The use of these aircraft continues and, most likely, will increase in speed. This assumption is based on the high efficiency demonstrated by the Su-34. Currently, their number in the Middle East theater of operations has been increased to a dozen.

Real state and plans

Today, the number of Su-34 aircraft in service with the Aerospace Forces is at least 83 units. Of these, 75 are serial samples, and another 8 are intended for development and testing. In particular, four bombers are located at the flight test center named after. Chkalov in the Astrakhan region (Akhtubinsk). In active military units (air regiments) throughout the country - from Murmansk to Rostov and from Khabarovsk to Voronezh - these aircraft are part of mixed units. According to the contract concluded with the Ministry of Defense in 2008, the delivery of 32 units was planned for a total amount of over 33 billion rubles, from which we can conclude how much the Su-34 aircraft costs (a little over a billion each). In 2008, the order was increased by another 92 bombers. The Novosibirsk Aviation Plant (NAPO) became the production base. Currently, mass production of machines has been organized, which significantly reduces costs.

In the coming years, the still good, but obsolete Su-24 in air regiments will be completely replaced by the Su-34 aircraft. The technical characteristics of the new model meet the standards of the “fourth plus two plus” generation, which will ensure its long service in the Russian Air Force.

The Su-34 is a bomber aircraft that was designed by the Sukhoi design bureau. The development of this device began in the 80s of the last century. Experienced R.G. was appointed chief designer of the project. Martirosov, but it should also be noted the designer M.P. Simonov, who made considerable efforts to create this aircraft.

As for the Su-34 aircraft project, the design bureau designated this aircraft as the T-10B. The basis of this device was intended to be based on the Su-27UB aircraft. According to the initial project, it was planned to modernize a large number of systems of the Su-27 type aircraft, which would ultimately lead to the emergence of a new modification.

A brief history of the appearance and testing of the Su-34 aircraft

The design of a new vehicle called the Su-34 was completed in early 1990. After the development was completed, the production of a prototype began. The new machine was created by converting the Su-27UB training aircraft. It was equipped with all the equipment and parts of the structure that the designers had thought of. This work was carried out at the Sukhoi aircraft plant, workers replaced the nose, engine nacelles and air intakes.

The converted aircraft first flew in the spring of 1991. The Su-39 fighter-bomber was fully ready in the winter of 1993. A year later, this machine was presented to the public in Paris at an air exhibition. The plans of the manufacturers clearly show the idea of ​​selling it on world markets, since at international exhibitions it has an English abbreviation. Some vehicles are painted in nautical colors, which allows them to be used over water areas and placed on aircraft carriers.

Features of the Su-34

When designing the Su-39, all the experience of aircraft design at the Sukhoi Design Bureau was taken into account, which made it possible to achieve such high results. The cockpit is made as a monolithic armored capsule. In addition to the cabin, all vital systems and assemblies are equipped with armor, which increases the survivability of the vehicle. The entire armor of the aircraft weighs almost 1.5 tons. To increase survivability, the aircraft is equipped with active protection systems, which are the same as those in the Su-27 aircraft.

To more effectively carry out combat missions, all processes are carried out by the pilot and his assistant navigator. The cockpit is quite comfortable and spacious, you can even stand upright in it. In addition, the plane is equipped with a toilet and a special cabinet for heating food. The cockpit is capable of maintaining a normal microclimate, which allows flights at an altitude of 10 kilometers without the use of oxygen masks. All these systems contribute to better performance of the aircraft’s pilots even during long flights, which can reach 10 hours.

The Su-34 aircraft was created to destroy both ground and water targets of the enemy. In addition, it is capable of hitting moving targets even of small size. As for air targets, the aircraft has the ability to destroy air targets at any time of the day or night under any meteorological conditions.

The development and improvement program for the Su-34 aircraft is the most promising, since the aircraft has excellent flight and tactical characteristics.

Design features of the Su-34 bomber

This machine is designed as a longitudinal triplane, which has an integral layout. The wings of the device are connected to the body of the machine using an integrated circuit. They have a trapezoidal shape, and their leading edge is arrow-shaped. The tail section of the aircraft is almost the same as in the previous version.

The cabin has seats for the pilot and navigator, it is completely sealed and armored. The cabin is heated and air conditioned. For better interaction between pilots, their seats are located nearby. The pilot's seat is on the left, and the navigator sits on the right side of the board. To get into the cockpit, pilots climb through a niche for the front landing gear along a special folding ladder.

The aircraft's landing gear is made of a trolley type, and the wheels are arranged in tandem, which improves the quality of takeoff from airfields that are poorly prepared. The front landing gear is steerable and equipped with two wheels. All landing gear struts are retracted into niches during flight. The rear pillars of the car are equipped with brake systems.

The aircraft's power plant consists of two turbojet engines, which are equipped with two afterburners. AL-31 type engines, which are installed on the Su-34 aircraft, develop power up to 14,000 kgf.

The fuel system in this aircraft is represented by three tanks in the middle of the fuselage: one in the middle of the center section, and two more tanks are located in the wing consoles. The fuel pumps in the fuel system supply fuel to the engines, regardless of the vehicle's position in the air. On hauls, you can install additional drop tanks, which, if necessary, can be dropped during the flight. As for the fuel system and the length of the flights, it should be noted that the aircraft is equipped with an in-flight refueling system. Refueling can be carried out from similar aircraft such as Su-34 or from tankers such as Il-78.

The aircraft is equipped with the latest integrated navigation system, which allows you to maintain communication with the satellite. For easier control, the machine has a multi-channel CDS system. It is capable of independently analyzing overloads and angles of attack, and also controls the PGO and at the same time effectively dampens all vibrations. The safety system is so good that it can automatically prevent collisions with other objects or the ground.

To solve all combat missions, the aircraft is equipped with the latest generation avionics system; it is almost completely automatic. All information systems located on board are arranged in an autonomous version.

Su-34 characteristics:

Su-34 (product “T-10B”, according to NATO codification: Fullback - “defender”) is a Russian multifunctional fighter-bomber, also positioned as a front-line bomber. Designed to deliver high-precision missile and bomb strikes.

In terms of its combat capabilities, the Su-34 belongs to the 4++ generation of aircraft, although it does not have the super-maneuverability inherent in Russian fighters of this generation.

Work on the creation of the fourth generation fighter-bomber Su-27IB (this was an intermediate designation for the future Su-34) was headed by general designer M. P. Simonov, and R. G. Martirosov was appointed chief designer of the machine, under whose direct supervision the design was carried out airplane.

The creation of new radio-electronic equipment, which was to form the basis of the weapons control system, was entrusted to NPO "Leninets" (St. Petersburg), which in the 80s was headed by General Designer G. N. Gromov.

Aviation weapons for the new fighter-bomber were designed by several enterprises - Vympel Design Bureau, General Designer G. A Sokolovsky, Zvezda Design Bureau, Chief Designer G. I. Khokhlov and Raduga Design Bureau, General Designer I. S Seleznev.

The aircraft is easily distinguished from other aircraft of the Su-27 family by the presence of the front horizontal tail, the somewhat flattened shape of the nose cone, for which it received the affectionate nickname “Duckling,” and by the significantly protruding radar beam in the rear hemisphere.

In the mid-80s, it became clear to the leadership of the country's armed forces that a new modern highly maneuverable one was needed to replace the modernized but aging Su-24M front-line bomber ( not to be confused with super-maneuverability! - approx. Russian Aviation) multifunctional aircraft. One of the aspects that prompted the development of the Su-34 was the successful and effective use of the Su-25 Grach attack aircraft in Afghanistan and the A-10 in Kuwait during Operation Desert Storm.

Work on creating an attack aircraft based on the Su-27 was carried out in the USSR earlier; in 1977-81, the topic of the Su-27Sh aircraft was worked out, but after September 1981 this project was not mentioned anywhere.

Work on the strike version of the Su-27 was resumed at the beginning of 1983, after a letter from Air Force Commander P.S. Kutakhov sent to MAP, MRP and MOP. Referring to the instructions of the Minister of Defense D.F. Ustinov, he wrote:

“In accordance with the 5-year plan, it is planned to carry out work on modifying the Su-27 aircraft with the aim of creating on its basis a two-seat Su-27IB fighter-bomber and a Su-27R reconnaissance aircraft. Currently, work on the creation of these aircraft and their on-board systems is being carried out by industry on a narrow front, discontinuously, without interdepartmental coordination and proper coordination. Meanwhile, intensive work is underway in the United States to modernize the F-15 fighters entering the military in large numbers.

I ask you to give instructions to intensify work on the two-seat fighter-bomber Su-27IB as much as possible, and present it in the first quarter. 1983 for consideration by the Air Force technical proposals for them.”

On January 15, the Sukhoi Design Bureau received a corresponding order from the MAP in this regard. So in 1983, a new item appeared in the OKB’s list of works called Su-27IB, which “replaced” the subject matter of the Su-27Sh. In accordance with the instructions of the MAP, by March 1983, the OKB prepared a “Technical proposal for the Su-27IB”.

It was proposed to create a new aircraft based on the twin Su-27UB with minimal modifications to the latter. According to the designers, the Su-27IB differed from the basic version primarily in the layout of the cockpit, in which, unlike the serial Su-27UB, the pilots sat not behind each other, but next to each other. This arrangement was previously studied at the Design Bureau in the unfinished deck-mounted training equipment T-10KM-2. The standard weapons control system was also changed to a new one, the basis of which was the Shkval sighting system with an optical television channel, and the armament included the Whirlwind ATGM.

In 1983, even the customer, the Ministry of Defense and the Air Force leadership, did not have a complete understanding of what an attack aircraft based on the Su-27 should be. As a result, the stage of mutual coordination of requirements for the aircraft dragged on until 1986.

In 1983-84, the Sukhoi Design Bureau continued active design work on attack versions of the Su-27. Thus, a “futuristic” project of deep modernization of the Su-27 was proposed: the 10E (Su-34) bomber, made according to the SKAMP layout - Supersonic Cruise and Maneuver Prototype (wing type F-16XL), and a little later - the 10P reconnaissance aircraft project, but these proposals neither the Ministry of Defense nor the MAP were interested.

On November 15, 1984, a joint decision was issued by MAP-MRP-VVS “On the procedure for carrying out work on Su-27IB, Su-27UB and Su-27 aircraft,” which stated that due to the cessation of serial production of Su-27IB fighter-bombers 17M4 and MiG-27M, it is necessary to intensify work on the Su-27IB aircraft. The deadline for submitting the aircraft for joint state tests was set for 1987. In this regard, from the beginning of 1985, a new stage began in the Sukhoi Design Bureau on the subject of attack aircraft.

In June 1985, the OKB prepared an “Addition to the technical proposals for the Su-27IB fighter-bomber based on the Su-27UB,” and by the beginning of 1986, preparations began for launching the vehicle into detailed design. At the same time, the State Research Institute of Aviation Systems prepared a conclusion on the Shkval sighting system, which noted that the use of an optical-television system as the main target channel reduced the possibility of round-the-clock use of the aircraft and it was proposed to return to installation on board the radar. Based on this conclusion, at the initiative of the General Designer, the development of a fundamentally new layout option with a radar on board began.

The large transverse dimensions of the radar located in the forward part of the fuselage predetermined the decision to place crew members nearby, as is implemented on the Su-24, and to use developments from the T-10KM-2 project. However, the General Designer went much further: he proposed to significantly increase the size of the cabin to improve living conditions and increase comfort. To do this, the seats of the crew members were moved to the sides so that the pilot could walk between them and stand in the space behind the seat at full height. The width of the passage between the seats was 300 mm, and the height of the cabin at the rear wall was 2000 mm. In this case, the canopy was not designed to open, with the doors being reset in an emergency, and the entrance to the cabin was through the service hatch in its lower part.

In June 1986, general drawings and a layout diagram were released. The new aircraft received the factory designation 10B, which officially began to be used on July 16, 1986. At the same time, at the direction of the General Designer, the projects department issued a complete set of directive documentation on geometry. Thus, in the summer of 1986, in the departments of the OKB named after. Sukhoi began working on technical solutions for a new version of the aircraft.

On June 19, 1986, a government decree was issued, and on October 15, 1986, a corresponding order from the MAP was issued, according to which the Sukhoi Design Bureau officially received the task of developing the Su-27IB.

The task was set to create an aircraft designed to destroy ground and surface targets, including small and mobile ones, in any weather and climatic conditions, at any time of the day, both in the tactical and operational depths of the enemy, including using nuclear weapons.

Due to the increased weight of the aircraft and more severe basing conditions, which included operation on unpaved airfields, the landing gear had to be significantly strengthened. A pair of 680x260 mm wheels was installed on the front, and trolleys with a longitudinal arrangement of two wheels measuring 950x400 mm were installed on the main supports.

Some elements of the Su-34 were made taking into account the technology of reducing the effective dispersion surface (ESR). For example, the main radio-transparent radar radome had sharp side edges, smoothly turning into an influx of PGO, due to which the degree of reflection of enemy radar radiation was reduced while maintaining good aerodynamics. The integral layout of the airframe was combined with a radically modified flattened shape of the nose. This, as well as radar-absorbing coatings and materials, made the Su-34 significantly less visible on radar screens compared to the Su-24, F-111 and F-15E. The absence of ventral fins also reduced the aircraft's reflective surface.

The aircraft is equipped with an inertial navigation system, radio and satellite navigation. The cabin is equipped with multifunctional color indicators, as well as head-up displays (HUDs). Helmet-mounted sighting equipment allows target designation using a “look,” which significantly reduces the weapon’s reaction time.

The Su-34 airframe is designed according to the “integral longitudinal triplane” design and has a pronounced integral layout. The trapezoidal wing integrally coupled with the fuselage has a sweep along the leading edge of 42 degrees. The PGO and stabilizers are all-moving. The stabilizer has the capability of both common-mode and differential rejection.

To control the aircraft, a digital multi-channel control system is used. The system automatically monitors the current values ​​of the angle of attack and overload, and automatically controls the position of the anti-aircraft gun, ensuring the damping of aircraft oscillations in the pitch plane. The active safety system implemented on the bomber automatically prevents it from entering unacceptable flight conditions and colliding with the ground when flying at extremely low altitudes. There is a mode for bringing to the horizon and recovering from a spin. The system, made using elements of artificial intelligence, automatically monitors the physical condition and actions of pilots, the operation of on-board systems and the remaining fuel, and also ensures automatic return to the airfield and landing approach.

K-36DM ejection seats with improved ergonomics provide emergency escape from the aircraft at near-zero speeds and altitudes.

Unlike its prototype, the Su-34 has a lower speed - 1900 km/h versus 2420 for the Su-27 and it is less maneuverable, at the same time it has a much higher take-off weight - up to 45 tons in overload. Placing the crew shoulder-to-shoulder improves the ergonomics of the workplace and simplifies the interaction between the pilot and the navigator. To get into the cockpit, pilots climb through a niche in the front landing gear along a special folding ladder.

The cabin of the Su-34 is equipped with everything necessary to perform long flight missions - it is heated and has air conditioning. There is a bathroom and a kitchenette with a microwave on board; as noted above, there is enough space in the cabin to stand up and stretch to your full height.

To protect the crew members, the cabin is made like an armored capsule made of titanium armor. The fuel tank is also armored. Firing tests of the new cabin showed its complete reliability. The aircraft's armor weight is 1480 kg.

With a normal take-off weight of 39 tons, the flight range reaches 4000 km, and with additional fuel tanks - 7000 km.

The aircraft's fuel system consists of four tanks with a total capacity of 12,100 kg, located in the fuselage, center section and wing consoles, fuel pumps and fuel metering equipment. The aircraft is equipped with a refueling system with a retractable fuel receiver rod in the front part of the fuselage in front of the cockpit, as well as two night refueling lights. Refueling can be carried out from Il-78, Il-78M refueling aircraft equipped with a unified suspended UPAZ refueling unit.

The aircraft's power plant is represented by two AL-31F-M1 turbojet engines, which develop thrust up to 13,300 kgf each. It is expected that in the modernized version the aircraft will be equipped with more advanced AL-41F engines, which will allow it to perform long flights at supersonic speeds without the use of afterburner.

The aircraft is equipped with the Sh-141 avionics system, which provides combat missions in the entire range of operating conditions with a high degree of automation. The structure of the complex is separate-integral. All information systems are configured as autonomous equipment, which includes computing units based on a high-power Argon digital computer and a number of specially programmable processors. All units are controlled by a central computer system, which fully coordinates work, data exchange and provides intelligent assistance to the aircraft crew in solving combat missions.

The modular design of the entire complex, duplication of software and equipment, and simultaneous operation of all information systems make it possible to solve a combat mission in the event of partial failure or even failure of some information systems.

The modular design allows you to easily change the composition of the complex, introducing new information systems if necessary. The B004 multi-mode radar with a phased array antenna installed on board the aircraft makes it possible to detect small ground targets, simultaneously tracking up to 10 targets and firing at up to 4. Detection range of large air targets is 200-250 km, fighters - 90 km, in air-to-surface mode: railway bridge - 160 km, group of tanks - 70 km, destroyer - 150 km.

The radar has the function of supporting flight at ultra-low altitudes with automatic contour following.

The ability to detect and attack small targets is increased through the use of a two-channel television and thermal imaging system combined with a laser rangefinder-target designator. Channels can work both together and separately, depending on weather conditions and time of day.

At the same time, in difficult mountainous and forested terrain, the Su-34 faces great difficulties in searching for and targeting weapons. For example, when striking one of the militant camps of the Caucasus Immarate in a mountainous area in Ingushetia, the radar was unable to find the target, and the thermal imaging and television channels found themselves with a limited field of view - the basis of the sighting system - the high-tech Sh-141 radar found itself in useless under such conditions. The crew could not find the desired target in the picture, filled with reflections of various objects on the ground, and the front-line bomber was forced to descend to search and destroy the object to the height of the MANPADS range. Fortunately, the militants had no means of destruction.

An interesting and original feature of the Su-34 is its rear hemisphere radar.

The rear-view AFAR radar is located in a container between the engines and allows you to detect an attack on the Su-34 with missiles in the tail. This is exactly how our Su-24M was attacked by a Turkish F-16 in Syria in October 2015.

The peculiarity of the rear-view radar is the ability to target special RVV-AE air-to-air missiles at an attacking fighter and launch them into the rear hemisphere from the Su-34 itself without maneuvering or turning towards the attacking fighter.

Launching missiles into the rear hemisphere is a rather unique technology that neither the most common American fighters F-15 and F-16, nor the F-22 Raptor have, which is why there are discussions among the professional community about the reality and performance of such technologies on the Su- 34. On the Sukhoi Design Bureau website, the list of performance characteristics of the truncated export version of the aircraft with the designation Su-32 does not indicate a rear-view radar, but in 2009 and 2012 press releases were posted reporting the presence of a rear-view radar on the Su-34.

To increase the combat load and reduce resistance on the Su-34, the possibility of placing unguided weapons (bombs, KMGU) on the fuselage hardpoints in two parallel “lines” of three points each was implemented, as a result, the total number of hardpoints on the aircraft increased to 18 (12 regular + 3x2 additional). The axes of the air intakes were “straightened” especially for this purpose. The air intakes themselves, based on operating conditions at a lower design Mach number and to reduce weight, are made unregulated.

The aircraft's armament consists of a built-in 30 mm GSh-301 cannon with 180 rounds of ammunition and guided, adjustable and unguided missiles and bombs of a wide range, which are placed on 12 hardpoints. Guided air-to-air missile weapons include up to 6 medium- and extended-range missiles of the R-27 type of various modifications with thermal (R-27T, R-27ET) and semi-active radar (R-27R, R-27ER) homing heads, up to 8 medium-range missiles R-77 (RVV-AE) with a combined guidance system and up to 6 homing close-range missiles of the R-73 type.

Guided and adjustable air-to-surface weapons include short-range tactical missiles Kh-25M and Kh-29 of various modifications with laser, television and thermal imaging guidance systems, S-25L guided missiles, Kh-31P(A) medium-range missiles with passive (active) radar homing head and television-command missiles Kh-59M, adjustable bombs of KAB-500 and KAB-1500 calibers with laser, television and television-command guidance systems. The number of Kh-59M missiles and KAB-1500 bombs on an aircraft can be up to three, the number of other air-to-surface missiles and 500-kilogram adjustable bombs can be six.

Also, the weapons may include: aerial bombs of caliber from 100 to 500 kg, container systems (KMGU type), blocks of unguided aircraft missiles S-8, S-13 - B-8M, UB-13, NAR S-25 - in disposable O-25 launchers. The maximum combat load weight of the Su-34 is 8000 kg (according to unofficial data - up to 12500 kg).

The first flight of the prototype Su-27IB "42" blue (T-10V-1) took place at the airfield of the LII named after. Gromov on April 13, 1990, the plane was lifted by one of the best pilots of the Sukhoi company, Hero of Russia, Honored Test Pilot of the USSR Anatoly Ivanov.

In the summer of 1990, the experienced Su-27IB was relocated to the airfield of the USSR Navy Aviation Test Center, located in the village of Novofedorovka near the Crimean Saki. At that time, President of the Soviet Union Gorbachev, who was on vacation in the Crimea, got acquainted with the new equipment that took part in the exercises of the Black Sea Fleet, including the heavy aircraft-carrying cruiser "Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov", which entered factory sea trials after the next completion. Management of OKB im. Sukhoi decided to demonstrate to the President, along with carrier-based aircraft, the latest front-line fighter-bomber.

The Center's test pilots skillfully performed a simulated landing approach on the Su-27IB over the deck of a cruiser. ITAR-TASS agency correspondent A. Kremko, who was on the ship at that time, photographed the aircraft approaching with its landing gear extended, after which the picture was distributed through numerous agency channels with the caption “Landing on the deck of the Tbilisi aircraft carrier,” although the photo shows that the Su- 34 does not have a landing hook, and in general it is not intended for landing on an aircraft carrier.This is how the first official photo of the Su-27IB appeared.

On December 18, 1993, the first flight of the pre-production version of the Su-27IB, called the Su-34 (blue tail number "43"), took place. In fact, this was the second experimental aircraft, but in a production configuration, the machine had the factory code T-10V-2. A year later, on December 28, 1994, in Novosibirsk, from the airfield of the aviation plant, the first production Su-34 (T-10V-5) took off.

In 2004, the aircraft was transferred by the plant for joint state tests, after which, in 2005, NAPO named after. Chkalova began building the first production batch. On February 15, 2006, the first two serial Su-34 front-line bombers were transferred to the country's air force. The state test program took place in several stages simultaneously with the production of the aircraft from October 30, 2006 to September 19, 2011.

As the media noted in 2008, in serial production of the Su-34 it is not so much the quantity that is important, but rather the establishment of aircraft production at a given price. In connection with this, there was a need to carry out technical re-equipment of the Novosibirsk aircraft plant in order to reduce the cost and labor intensity of the assembly process.

The plant's annual report for 2008 states that during the year, work was carried out to repair and reconstruct production facilities, high-performance equipment and new technological processes were introduced. In 2008-2009, 43 high-performance processing centers were purchased for a total amount of about 2 billion rubles, which made it possible to reduce the cost of assembling one aircraft.

Currently, the cost of production of the Su-34 is 1 - 1.5 billion rubles. There are no more accurate data in open sources.

On March 20, 2014, after eliminating the deficiencies identified during testing, the Su-34 was accepted into service with the Russian Air Force.

The first combat use of the Su-34 took place during the five-day war in 2008. The aircraft was used to cover the actions of strike aircraft, conducting electronic warfare against Georgian air defense systems. To suppress the electronic systems of the Georgian army, the Su-34 jammed combat formations, which did not allow Georgian anti-aircraft missile systems to successfully tune out the interference. Su-34s launched missile attacks on the most dangerous Buk and S-125 systems. As a result, the key Georgian radar station 36D6-M near the village of Shavshvebi near Gori was destroyed, completely “blinding” the entire air defense system of the country.

14 Su-34 fighter-bombers took part in the military operation in Syria to destroy the terrorist organization Daesh - 6 aircraft that were at the Khmeimim air base since September 30, 2015, and on November 17 another 8 aircraft were added.
