“Spherical data and defense field due to modern ecm suite”

Looks like full spherical rwr coverage to me (you cant have full spherical ecm coverage without a similar coverage rwr)

Also some wierd mention of podded Ka aesa array(?)
And aesa sensors spread across the fuselage “smart skin”, likely for RWR + PD MAWS function alongside the main arrays on the nose and wings

Damn russians are actually focussing on sensors.

Also i havent said this before here, but su57 still lacks both hms and hmd. It lacks the HMS trackers in the cockpits so it shouldnt have one in game, HMD is in trials (i believe its alresdy tested on 511 blue(t50)), but i think its meant for megapolis programme, so the main serial su57 might also lack it.

AESA radar sensors spread around the airframe cover sounds intriguing. The fact that AESA radar is specifically mentioned might imply that this cover can detect trough jamming or LPI mode

F35 also has arrays across its leading edges which is nice, but on the fuselage is something new i heard.

Idk about the lpi and jamming thingy, i asusme those are too small for ecm or radar functions.

I dont expect lpi to work at close ranges and during hardlocks, modern rwr / emission detectors are meant to be more effecient against it.

Looking at this picture Su-57 might actually not have 360 radar coverage. Tail compartment here is marked as the placement of EW system

Tail radar is indeed not a radar, its a ECM array, specifically multifunctional array (mfa) which does stuff like ecm rwr and pd maws

Same for the ones in the wing.

Only the 3 arrays in the nose are actual radars

2 out of 4 L band ones are iff interrogators

Rest are MFAs

That’s a pretty old pic, from 2021 or something. One of the very first serial production airframes

I am aware, i just like the angle
