SAPSAN is not a copy of DAMOCLES, they are two separate projects.
Info on the sapsan is much harder to find
would have thought some of the russian language researchers would be able to dig something up. I do get your point tho.
Sapsan is a mythical creature to researchers, I’ve even tried myself, it’s a boss battle that can’t be beat.
T/220 and Damocles are the only options.
Because its not real, the producers were sued for not making a functional product. (it was hollow)
*Edit, SAPSAN-E isn’t real, SAPSAN is (ignore this message)
Mythical only to inattentive researchers. More than half a year ago I found all the official documents on its creation.
The prototypes have been made.

That’s a lie. Sapsan was created. The export version was not
Man… why does this shit gotta be so DAMN confusing 😭
Fixed my message above, sorry for the mistake.
I already knew about this, but the question is do you have detailed enough information for such a pod to be implemented?
yes
Before when I brought it up nobody knew what resolution it ran in
Something really minor but I noticed the targeting pod is not animated and also fixed in an upside-down position that you realistically wouldn’t be able to look down
Here’s a video of the TGP in real life
Here it is ingame on dev server (it basically stays in this fixed position no matter what):
All TGPs are not animated
Oddly enough, the Chinese K/ADC03A TGP is actually animated (albeit really broken)
i used to think the TD is the IR guided version because what else is different between the T, TE and TD lol
T is 13km
TE is 30km
TD is also 30km?
is that really it?
ground lock range difference and minor weight difference. tank lock are same.
T 15KM, TD 35KM, TE 30KM
range value doesn’t mean really has that lock range, usually a bit shorter.
i mean i can get point lock with the T at 13km and at 30km with the TE so…
- Keep threads content to Russian Aircraft only
- Include export models (Su-30MKI, Su-27UBM2)
Fixed the poll, so for anyone who cares I’d like to hear your input.
I heard that Su-34NVO got UKR-OE recon pod with M433 Raduga-VM thermal cam irl. Do you have any info about that?
