Those are Ukrainian upgraded seekerheads not Russian ones. Russian planes won’t be using those specific models

Weren’t soviet/russian ir seekerheads produced in Ukraine until recently?
What models are used then ?

Recently being almost a decade ago I think

Yes.
I looked into it a bit, and from my limited research I don’t know whether Russia received those upgraded versions.
But it’s likely that China did interestingly

And the predecessor to the best R-37 platform is added this update

you know that the su35 came before the Su-30SM2?

I think he’s talking about the MiG-31

Russia develops its own versions tho

i dont think so because he reacted to this:

For the 27T ? Can you post some detail (seeker name…) I would like to read about it

Right now I don’t have anything, I don’t hoard technical info usually. Maybe kizvy has something on it.

i also looked for info about that seeker before

it only gets mentioned that there is a better seeker for the 27T/ET but never any specifics like its name or stats

Usual Russia, little to no technical information “just in case”

Nothing other than maybe higher gimbal limit for et/t

Found interesting quote about R-27A on one of the DCS forums. it was completed in development with China money, bought by China in limited quantity and used later in development of SD-10/PL-12 missile. I wonder if there is any proof for this somewhere in the internet

typical china

I found that

Nah, k-27a died a long time ago. Seekers were made yes and was test fired but none were put serial production
