Fisherman82 Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 (edited) Im building a mission for the Syria map and wonder if Su22s have the capability to strike targets at night? I found some info on Google saying that they are "all-weather/day & night" but do they really have somekind of TV/IR optic sensor? Or is it just visual bombing like a Su25A with perhaps illumination bombs or NVGs at night? Because if thats what they mean by "all-weather/day & night pretty" then pretty much any aircraft is. I may have found not the best info, its pretty little info on the internet about Su17/Su22 actually, at least that I can find anyway. Edited December 14, 2020 by Fisherman82
G.J.S Posted December 14, 2020 Posted December 14, 2020 I believe the only IR or TV capabilities come from the weapons carried (weapon as sensor). Other than a relatively basic ranging radar, which I think is of limited utility in A2G roles, using the weapon sensors themselves is the only way to “gain a capability”. Similar in operation to the SU-25, just a rather fast SU-25! - - - The only real mystery in life is just why kamikaze pilots wore helmets? - - -
