Russian fighter jets began to transfer to imported components.
For unknown reasons, the installation of foreign components has begun on the Russian Su-30SM fighters. This fact is confirmed by the corresponding photographs of these combat aircraft, which arrived a few days ago in Belarus under a previously concluded contract, and the components themselves are not officially supplied to Russia due to the imposed sanctions, which raises a lot of questions.
In the photograph presented, experts drew attention to the HUD (indicator on the windshield - approx. Ed.) Thales HUD 3022, manufactured by a French company, and originally intended for Dassault Rafale fighters. From the 2015 of the year they were no longer to be installed on Su-30СМ fighters, however, for unknown reasons, instead of the domestic IKSH-1М device developed by Ramenskoye Instrument-Making Design Bureau JSC, it turned out to be foreign on Belarusian combat aircraft.
Experts do not exclude that Belarus independently chose a foreign device, however, it is not known how it was installed on a Russian fighter before arriving in Belarus, since no official comments were made on this subject.
