Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-29 Fulcrum - History, Design, Performance & Dissection (Part 2)

probably due to age of the brochures judging by the pictures since its still using the 9.31 MiG-29K and 9.15 MiG-29M2 in the pictures

Yes, but it is still not RD-33K that is found on 9.15 and 9.31, this is what i find interesting

MiG-29M/M2 brochure does feature Kh-29L, both in text and as a picture

So, 13SM-1 was shown on different expos since 2007, alongside IRST for Su-27/35 called OLS (thank you, UOMZ, very cool. Naming your specific IRST module with a name that describes entire class of such modules is a gigachad move).
But it seems that MiG-35 in service features OLS-UEM, an upgraded version of OLS-UE.

man iam still searching for info on the OLS-30

Malaysia maybe? MKM is the closest thing to the SM avionics wise.

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.

Gaijin can just easily delete the MiG-29M’s CM dispensers and give it the correct 120x setup…

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?
