As you can see this jet only has one MFD which proves that the cockpit seen in the brochure is accurate(Although there’s slight differences, I have explained that in the previous replies)

do you know if it’s still stuck with spo-15 rwr, or was it upgraded with l-150? @Miraz05
in the original brochure it still has spo 15 in cockpit

satellite m-2 stats
IMO this means it would basically act as a modern rwr, as it can classify and ID threats and stuff. unfortunately it comes with added weight instead of an integrated rwr like l-150, but hey at least it can act like a modern rwr

Purpose (Назначение)
The “Satellite-M2” radio-electronic protection system is designed to protect aircraft from being hit by high-precision, radio-guided weapons—air-to-air missiles (AAMs) and surface-to-air missile systems (SAMs)—operating in the 4.0–18.0 GHz frequency range, both from the front and rear hemispheres.
Advantages (Достоинства)
- Greatly reduces the probability of the carrier aircraft being struck by radio-guided enemy weapons.
- Provides radar camouflage: the enemy’s radar cannot detect the fact that the aircraft is emitting interference.
- Expands the combat capabilities of attacking aircraft by reducing their vulnerability.
- Forms jamming effects at all stages of combat operation for radar systems with quick parameter retuning (including polarization and frequency).
- Provides protection while maintaining compatibility with the aircraft’s onboard radio systems.
- Fully autonomous operation that does not hinder completion of combat missions.
- Uses modern digital electronics and lightweight components to expand capabilities and reduce power consumption.
- Built on a modular block principle, allowing reconfiguration per customer and operational theater requirements.
- Has low weight and compact dimensions.
Illustrations show jamming of both aircraft-launched missiles (AAMs) and ground-based SAMs.

System Composition (Состав аппаратуры)
The “Satellite-M2” consists of two podded containers mounted on weapon hardpoints.
Each pod contains a set of modules enabling independent operation in both the forward and rear hemispheres.
Each complex includes:
- A unit generating cross-polarization jamming for missile seekers and SAM radars of various polarization types.
- Units forming deceptive and adaptive jamming using DRFM (Digital Radio Frequency Memory) techniques.
- Modules for analyzing the radar environment and selecting optimal jamming parameters.
- A central control processor.
The photo captions show examples of internal modules and an MFD (multi-function display) screen in the cockpit.
Principle of Operation (Принцип работы)
To ensure highly effective radio-electronic protection, the system creates simulated radar targets that imitate the aircraft’s radar signature, diverting missile guidance systems.
Functions:
- Simulated jamming for missile acquisition channels.
- Cross-polarization jamming for tracking channels.
- Deceptive, re-transmitting, and adaptive DRFM-based jamming against SAMs using both simple and complex modulated signals.
Graphics show the spoofing of radar tracking and missile seeker deviation.

Distinctive Features (Отличительные особенности)
- Uses advanced methods of coherent cross-polarization jamming, breaking lock of missile guidance radars with circular/linear polarization.
- Employs DRFM technology, forming deceptive and complex modulated signals to hinder monopulse tracking.
- Capable of creating false radar targets and noise masks for air- and ground-based radars (e.g., AN/ALQ-187, AN/ALQ-218, “Khibiny”).
- Operates automatically, can simultaneously counter multiple threats.
- Provides protection against unauthorized access.
System Control in Combat (Управление аппаратурой в боевой обстановке)
Control can be performed both before takeoff and during flight using a cockpit switch.
Operational status is displayed on the aircraft’s MFD.
Automatic selection of interference type depending on the threat ensures simultaneous defense against all active enemy SAMs.
Ground Maintenance (Наземное обслуживание)
Maintenance is performed using the built-in control and test system.
Results are displayed via diagnostic interfaces, allowing pre- and post-flight verification of system readiness.
Records can be automatically logged for mission effectiveness analysis.
