seems obvious to me. in all the marine forces of the world the pilots of the navy are the best they receive a completely different training from the training of the normal pilots. Making a landing on an aircraft carrier with poor visibility extreme weather conditions and at night is not for everyone.

Actually this is relative what you consider a good pilot. Overall this idea is a misconception. The time spent learning to operate from carriers is less time spent training to use the aircraft for combat related stuff be it bfm or other, because both usaf and usn pilots get comparable flight hours per year on average.

 

So being able to land on a carrier isnt going to make a navy pilot better at warfighting

Of course not. It makes him better at landing a jet on a short runway, is all. Controlling the plane more precisely than those who land on a runway. Didn't mean anything about combat abilities.

With the "Direct To" button on the top middle it must be the controls for some GNSS or NAV computer. Maybe that thing on the right.

Jump 5 minutes into this one, to see the camera at work.

Both devices look a bit too modern for the Su-22. But maybe I've got no idea...

 

Typical post soviet era "budget" Nav system/GPS upgrade for russian planes. I can't seem to find it right now, but there is a famous SU-24 (IIRC) pic with a Garmin GPS taped to the HUD.

New hotness: I7 9700k 4.8ghz, 32gb ddr4, 2080ti, :joystick: TM Warthog. TrackIR, HP Reverb (formermly CV1)

Old-N-busted: i7 4720HQ ~3.5GHZ, +32GB DDR3 + Nvidia GTX980m (4GB VRAM) :joystick: TM Warthog. TrackIR, Rift CV1 (yes really).

Also, there is a modder that is considering making one, though he may be out of his depth. But with some community support who knows.

Heh yea, just how for the su25s not up to the SM standard got a similar quick budget modification, via Off the shelf GPS taped just under the gun sight.

A provisional NATO-coalition membership requirement for ex soviet satellites like Poland, etc. still operating their old soviet equipment is to "westernize" them with equipment updates, mainly navigationally related in aircraft but includes a whole bunch of things so that they can operate in coordination with NATO (or current equivalent) forces in any conflict of which they may become a part. Georgia, for example was refused membership on this basis when they asked for help in the late 90s after the cruiser Moscow fired missiles at Georgian land targets, because they didn't have the money to accommodate the requirements.

So whenever you see western friendly Russian equipment operators like in the Czech Republic they have equipment updates or installations to suit western operations, or are forced to turn over their Russian equipment to the United States for scrapping or testing, like Bulgaria was.
