4th image is an su-27…
😶
but if u posted for the pod yes its k
yes only for pod
MiG-29SMT (9.18 version, without the larger fuel tank we have on 9.19) was displayed with a Russian-built UOMZ Sapsan-E targeting pod at MAKS 2003
edit:-
Also, the MiG-29SMT prototype 9.17 (the one previously seen with PDLCT) was displayed with Sapsan-E at MAKS 2005
Only partially visible on the left of the image

Easier/quickest solution would be to give it the PDLCT since it’s already been modeled in the game and it definitely complies with Gaijin rules ( being technically possible regardless of actual adoption ) . Then subsequently they can model domestic ones like the SASPAN or T220 .

We need thermal imaging pods

Personally, I expect gaijin consider add Sapsan-E on MiG-29SMT 9-19 after current dev server because it’s 3rd gen targeting pod, Su-30M2 and Su-30SM access this targeting pod

With any luck we will see it soon, perhaps even the December update. Russia could definitely use a proper thermal targeting pod now. As SPAA continue too get more lethal and creat a larger zone of denial, a targeting pod becomes a must have too quickly find a launch on targets.
I wouldn’t be surprised if we start seeing more capable and modern multi role fighters for Russia such as the Su-30/35. Even the 34 dosnt seem too far off at this point

This is not f16. So the gaijin just nerf that and never give any usefull good thing what increase the combat ability
Su-33 isn’t multirole, unguided bombs and rockets are the best it can carry.
This loadout is meant for the MiG 29BM(Belarusian equivalent of SMT)
My apologies, I think I meant Su-35
This targeting pod never existed, and UOMZ sued for patent and said in court that the such product doesn’t exist outside of mockup
Gajin forgot targeting pod on MiG-29SMT (9-19) 3 previous major update, so I hope gajin consider add targeting pod for MiG-29SMT (9-19) in 2024
Unsure MiG-29SMT (9-19) equipped T220/E or UOMZ Sapsan-E
A great study about the Su-39 thermal imager and its realization. Please support with likes and comments

I created a suggestion on the Ru forum, where I listed the airplanes with thermal imagers. Please vote
