Converting the Su-33 in a guided munition capable plane using conventional bombs.

Pretty interesting article, about the Su-33 modernization...

And I tought, what in the world is a SVP-24?, and then found this cool article...

Really really interesting, maybe even easy to add in FC3, predesignate targets could be attacked this way.

So.... A CCRP mode? I'm surprised the Russians are only now using this technology?

 

Does look like it would be cool to have in DCS, though I doubt we'll see it in DCS due to how new it is.

But I thought the su-25t had the ccrp function in it?

The Su-25T, Su-27 and Su-33 all have CCRP bombing modes, the only issue with the -27 and -33 is that the CCRP piper has to be visually aimed using the HUD which makes it of limited utility against all but the most lightly defended targets. Because targets can only be visually designated using the HUD it's a lot less accurate than CCIP.

 

For CCRP mode in the Su-27 and Su-33:

 

1) When launch authority is not shown, place the HUD piper on the target and hold down the launch key.

2) Hold attitude & go wings level.

3) You'll see a visual representation of the countdown to release.

4) IIRC a tone will sound a couple of seconds from release.

5) Bombs are released.

 

It's also possible to do amusing low level supersonic bombing with the -27 and -33 which makes use of CCRP though it's even less accurate.

Great article, is not only CCRP (which SU-25T in DCS have), it's an automatic CCRP mode based in ground coordinates, whitout the need of a JTAC painting the target! or TV cameras or GPS/GLONASS in the bomb!

 

I dont expect that ED will simulate it in many years, unless they release a module of SU-22 with the latest updates, but looking what we have so far, they simulate the old/original version always

AFAIK this is not a CCRP mode but a new system that tracks the target position in relation to plane position acounting for easier and accurate release point for dumb bombs.

SVP-24 was developed by Gefest for the Su-24M upgrade initially as a (cheaper) alternative to the Sukhoi Su-24M2 upgrade. After it was proven successful, it has since been used on some other types as well (e.g. Tu-22M3).

 

It's nice to see some upgrades being done to the Su-33. Too bad they're not more comprehensive (e.g. radar/WCS upgrade).

Its great reading indeed. Thank you for sharing it.

So basically you just need to fly to the target and the system automagically release the bomb ? Am I right ? Awesome....
