The Algerian Air Force is set to do upgrades of its Su-24 strike aircraft fleet, with air forces first six at the 514 Aviation Repair Plant in Russia.
Algerian military sources have released photos of six of the country’s Air Force Su-24MK/MK2 Fencer aircraft being overhauled at the 514 Aviation Repair Plant near Rzhev in Russia. The su-24s will be upgraded to Su-24M2 standard – the same as Russian Air Force aircraft.
The Su-24 upgrade includes;
- Addition of the SVP-24 Gefest navigation.
- Attack system incorporating new sensors.
- GLONASS global positioning system.
- Other modifications such as trajectory computer, atmospheric and inertia sensors, encrypted data link.
- Head-up display for greater weapons delivery accuracy.
Once upgraded, the system will allow the Su-24 aircraft to use older unguided munitions but with far greater accuracy besides will keep costs to a minimum. The new system will also calculate the aircraft’s position while monitoring weather, speed, angle of attack for best weapons delivery from up to 5 000 metres altitude. No laser markers or alterations to the bombs are required, allowing the old stock weapons to be used.
The SVP-24 system has been used by Russian in Syria and ostensibly its success have prompted Algeria to upgrade its aircraft. The SVP-24 system has apparently been tailored to Russian Su-24, Su-25, Tu-22M3, Ka-52 and Ka-50 aircraft. (The SVP-24 is a system that turns unguided conventional bombs into precision-guided weapons).
