couldnt find much about it besides a brochure that says nothing about its performance at all
does the Su-30SM and Su-30MK models use different OLS?
yup, SM uses 36SH-01 aka OLS-30, MK uses OEPS-30I
Sadly i could only find description of 36SH-01, not exact specs. But looking at that, it is indeed incapable of lasser designation, only rangefinding.
At least that’s the most logical conclusion. I haven’t seen any documents that specifically mention what optical station is installed on Su-30SM, but 36SH-01 is installed on MKI and MKM, so it is most likely also used on SM. But it is a module, so it can technically be replaced by any other compatible station in theory.

For that Gaijin has to admit that there is a problem with 29Ms countermeasures in the first place. Bug report was labeled as a “suggestion” lmao. Next time they will make Su-35S without MAW and also forward it as a suggestion.

quick test of 36SH-01 shows that it uderperforms in scan rate, i got 4.96 seconds for 60x10 and 1.21 seconds for 20x5
Where are you find this info? Su-27SM, Su-30MK2 use 31E-MK

here is also an interesting picture with description from an interview with Sergey Maksin (CEO of UOMZ) for “Взлёт” magazine from 2005

Also, does this mean that Su-27SM is currently missing laser guided munitions, as well as laser designator and a TV channel in its IRST?
yes
no
I probably misspoke, i meant this MFD page on the left MFD
as well as this view to guide missiles
If this is not a channel on IRST, then what is it? HUD Camera?
i would think, that it is supposed to work like on the Su-17 where the pilot puts the crosshair on the hud over whatever he wants to shoot at
I thought it was accepted… went here to check and i would have thought it would have been fixed already
It being accepted doesn’t mean anything
They can still reject it or forget about it for an indefinite amount of years
anyone know the original source looks like its some documentary or news video? I am assuming the channel is Russian since i haven’t been able to find it
It could be this one but the video is blocked in Japan so i cant really check it
