Fair enough, Germanium was just an example. Its used a lot on modern thermal optic windows as well.
R27EA in Su30?
those are inert/training missiles, r-27ea never existed, and r-27a only tested on mig 29 before it got cancelled.

A quick search shows this to be a picture of a frankenstein’s Su-35UB for the movie “Mirror Wars: Reflection One”.
There are many things wrong with the picture, like training and live missiles combined? Unpainted fins on one of the centerline R-27’s? And yes, they do look like the EA seekers.
