Su-39, "Khod/Kinzhal" Thermal Imaging/Radar Container

Well ever heard of target acquisition? You don’t need to always use wallhack my dude. Step outside of the bubble.

Fly forward, switch to missile cam (conveniently gen 3 thermal quality) select target, launch missile.
Rinse and repeat.

Farm kills. Would a TGP be nice? Sure

Btw the current TV missile only has like 6-8km actual tracking range firing from farther away will result in it targeting the spot, like GNSS.

Some primary sources on the Su-25T were found.

The Mercury was a standard container for the Su-25T and definitely existed in small series. However, there is no additional information about its appearance (it is assumed that the Khod appearance is now in the game, not the Mercury appearance)

Still not on the dev server for the 2nd update of 2025. It will REALLY be needed now if Su-39 will be fighting the new SPAA.

Thermal pods I don’t think it needs one, should be a great addition for a plane that only differs on weapons and a IRCM on the back compared to the Su-25K, but maybe some zoom multiplier to the current ones, it doesn’t matter, using the current pods or the internal camera the zoom is the same.
