Su 27/33 SEAD?

[TBear0770]

I read that some recent variants of su 27/33 have SEAD capability. Is there some way to deploy anti radiation missiles with a su 33 in LOMAC?

 

I already added some anti radiation missiles with LOPE but i'm not able to launch them.

 

Thanks in advance for advices

New Su-34, Su-35 have possiblity to do SEAD operations with Kh-58s, Kh-59s IIRC. Su-33 is old and is not upgraded - or maybe I don't know something so please correct me.

 

You can't deploy Anti-Radiation missile from any fyable planes in LO except Su-25T.

To release weapon you need Fantasmagoria pod which works only in Su-25T.

There's an upgrade being currently carried on for Su-27S (Su-27SM) that allows it to carry R-77, Kh-59, Kh-31 etc. There's a similar package for 33's, but i didn't hear of it being installed.

 

Also Kh-31P/58 series ca be equipped on latest Su-30.

Correct.

 

However, if you for whatever reason want to simulate this - you can always employ Kh-31A (simulating P variant) missiles from Su-33, assigning targets to the planes like for Kh-41. (The funny thing is that Kh-41 is capable of engaging ground targets too.) One Su-33 with full load (6 Kh-31's) is capable to destroy an S-300/Patriot or 2-3 weaker SAMs.

Thank U very much for kind answer.

 

I just started to fire some kh-31 and they hit their target. But i guess that i cant hit targets of opportunity but only preplanned ones.
