Topgun505 Posted October 26, 2021 Posted October 26, 2021 So a couple of times now while flying the A-10C and A-10C II when I have been jumped by Mig-29s /SU-27s ... I noticed that the RWR was showing a L (laser painting me). Do the Migs /SUs have a laser rangefinder as part of their IRST? I've found it quite handy actually ... if you are suddenly getting a L warning and you know you are too high up to be getting painted by a ground vehicle laser range finder then you know you are getting jumped. Just wondering if this is a known aspect of those Russian fighters.
