Russian Targeting Pod/Laser Designator Thread

ah Ight

According to Wikipedia it is Yak131 but yes it failed to replace su25

I have a semi-old book about Yak-130 at home, I’ll give it a look over to see if it has anything about it when I get home

Would the Su-39s Khod pod count

Eh as there’s no plans on it being added for Su-39 (unfortunately), I’d say no

Wonder if they’ll reconsider now that the Su-25SM3 is moving up to 12.7.

They probably won’t, but still.

Currently Su-25SM3 equipped SOLT-25 Laser Designator pod ?

Now if 12.7 BR for ground RB, You guess gajin increase lock-range Kh-38ML & Kh-38MT to 35 km in next major update ?

idk about that

Su-25SM3 uses SOLT-25 yes

I remember looking at a photo before, and I can’t remember exactly whether the plane inside is a SU25t, SU39, or SU25sm. But I remember it has a pod near the mounting point of the fuselage. Do anyone have any relevant information?

Was it one of these?

thanks,the third one

Ah

That’s a prototype FLIR called Khod, A 1st Gen Thermal pod

I’m not too sure on the specs but I do know it wasn’t particularly liked during its testing, hence why it was cancelled.

I’m sorry that my memory is not very good, so I always give vague information that cannot guarantee its authenticity. But when it comes to Laser Designers on Soviet planes, I have some interesting information to share with you.
I remember reading an article that roughly means that Mig27k can be accessed through“ КАЙРА- 23 “laser target indicator guides a specially designed air-to-air missile. The crazy idea of using lasers to guide air-to-air missiles left a deep impression on me. But I forgot to save this article and couldn’t find any relevant information. I only remember that the suffix at the end of the missile model was”-at" , so now I even suspect that this is my dream.

I’d say it’s mercury. And the pod from the game is Khod. It’s a typo in the book, because in all other sources they are called the other way around

Spoiler





I see, interesting

Surely this means they’ll just give both Su-25T/TM Khod :clueless:

Be sure to support this, it’s for the Saspan-E pod for the Su-27SM

Doubt it will go anywhere. If they weren’t intending to add it before.

I seems it never does, but you miss every shot you don’t take.
