The Ukrainian State Enterprise Mykolaiv (Nikolaev in Russian) Aviation Repair Plant (NARP), which is a part of the UkrOboronProm (UOP) military-industrial concern, announced on August 5 a new modernization and MRO program involving Ukrainian Air Force (UAF) Su-24M and Su-24MR bomber/reconnaissance aircraft, as well as Il-76MD military transports.

The core of the new program is to supply the UAF with additional Su-24M supersonic bombers and Su-24MR reconnaissance aircraft. The Su-24MR has a Shtik side-looking airborne radar (SLAR) and the Zima infrared reconnaissance system to detect camouflaged objects, as well as high-resolution cameras and radar-location systems. Its high speed enables it to conduct reconnaissance missions deep (215 nm/400 km) into an adversary’s territory, the UOP announcement highlighted. A common feature with the Su-24M is the terrain-following radar that enables both aircraft to fly extremely low at high speed to avoid enemy fire.
