There was a photo of the Su-57 with an unknown hanging container

The network discusses photographs taken by Vadim Savitsky and posted on the resources of RussianPlanes.net and Airforce.ru. The photo shows a Russian fifth-generation Su-57 fighter in flight.

The Su-57 attracted special attention to the fact that it carries out the flight with a hanging container, the nomenclature of which is currently not officially announced. Probably, we are talking about a hanging container for target designation. But the unknown container differs from the standard optical-electronic complex 101KS-N. The container, like the 101KS-N, is mounted on the suspension under the left wing of the Su-57 fighter (under the air intake). The differences in the arrangement of the optical elements of the hanging container are observed. So, the front optics on the product are located behind the metal protrusion.

Earlier, the network published photos of the Su-57 in flight with the 101KS-N.

The external module 101KS belongs to the class of quantum optical location systems. The system, in comparison with the analogue for the Su-30 and Su-35 fighters, has a lower mass, the optics can to some extent change position using an electric drive. In the photo to the material, the optics on the container appear to be fixed, while the system has additional optoelectronic elements.

The quantum optical location system is resistant to electromagnetic effects in the form of interference induced by the adversary. It allows you to work in several (three channels), including infrared.

Experts suggest that in the photo of Vadim Savitsky - perhaps a modification of the optical location system, the development of which was carried out (carried out) as part of the Atoll experimental design work.

It could even be. But we won’t tell them, let them suffer, earn heartburn.

He also thought so, something familiar and painfully dear.

[Bookcase]

This is testing a prototype optical scanner for the S-70.

[Sky strike fighter]

Most likely this is one of the modifications 101KS-N.

101KS-N (ground-based external module) is a multi-channel pendant optical sighting system designed to detect and identify ground targets and ensure the use of aircraft-based weapons of destruction (TSA) on them.

Do you happen to be familiar with this?

Text (words) of the song “Maybe there is a crow”

One simple tale
Or maybe not a fairy tale
Or maybe not simple
We want to tell you
We remember her from childhood
Or maybe not from childhood
Or maybe we don’t remember
But we will remember
We remember the crow
Or maybe a dog
Or maybe a cow
Once lucky
Someone sent her cheese
A gram thinks two hundred
And maybe three hundred
Or maybe a pound
She flew up the spruce
Or maybe it didn’t take off.
Or maybe on a palm tree
I climbed from the run
And there she has breakfast
Or maybe have lunch
Or maybe dinner
Calmly gathered

it feels like a "head" with a rotating nozzle ...

[cormorant]

Most likely, this refers to the orientation and navigation system to obtain the coordinates of the object of the observed target, when turning the head of the operator.

[Govorun]

Whatever it is, but obviously it's good ...

[Nycomed]

Some kind of camera. Want - the details will be announced. But this contraption definitely does not add stealth.

[xax]

Quote: Nycomed

stealth this contraption definitely does not add.

Ideally, this should be a contraption capable of such a term as stealth in general from the dictionaries of the air forces of the world to cross out)

[Thunderbolt]

Our Air Force needs such a container. And not only the Su-57. How tight is this Su's layout? You can, after all, hide the body of such containers on the plane, and let the optics "make eyes" to the enemy. I took it to the right, to the left, straight ahead ... there is a goal!

[Letun]

In which container? Can you clarify what kind of container it is?

[Alexey-74]

It is very similar to a target designator, but for some reason it’s not close to the fuselage, but on the mount .... they are testing something new .....

[Marconi41]

I agree with you. Most likely these are tests, and not standard equipment. Maybe something for the Hunter is riveted. Or maybe for a couple of UAVs in general.

[soldat tv]

I must say that this is a prototype of a laser installation. Our "friends" will immediately put on their pants.

[mark1]

By the way - such an acceptable version ...

[Tibidokh]

laser prototype

What is a "laser machine"? Like in Star Wars?
Judging by the fact that there are 2 windows in the hanging container, this is generally a "laser double-barreled gun"!
Most likely, this is the Atoll OLS:

Optical-electronic complex 101KS "Atoll" developed by JSC "Production Association" Ural Optical and Mechanical Plant "(UOMZ) in Yekaterinburg allows you to control the airspace in the optical range around the entire perimeter of the aircraft, as well as to protect the aircraft from attacking missiles." Atoll "consists of from the IRST 101KS-V system, located in front of the engine nacelles, four sensors for detecting missiles in the ultraviolet range, which have a 360-degree view, as well as two sensors 101KS-O, which, according to data from UOMZ, are jamming systems in the infrared range. Another sensor, 101KS-P, consists of a small infrared vision device that helps the pilot during low-altitude maneuvers or when landing. In addition, a navigation and targeting container for the 101KS-N navigation container is under development.

I posted a link to another resource here, I hope they won’t be deleted, as they began to do recently ...

[Herman 4223]

So in the article it is written that it is OLS. What is everyone wondering?

[Voyager]

The atoll is completely different. The complex of its elements is already mounted in the fuselage.

[Tibidokh]

Atoll is a complex of protection, including both internal and suspended elements. This is explicitly stated in the article I quoted:

Optoelectronic complex 101KS "Atoll"

In addition, development is ongoing. container navigation and target designation of the navigation container 101KS-N

[Same lech]

Interesting gizmo turns his head, catches the adversary by eye.
Didn’t she catch F-22 in Syria?

[Voyager]

Such prototypes were not installed on the Su-35 in Syria, which is logical ..

[dzvero]

My version - the first photo shows at least two "cameras"; possibly one more "behind" on the container. It looks like a system for photographing launches from the internal weapons compartment.

[Vladimir16]

Good, I would say a working version.

[Mestny]

For such registration, a camera the size of a pack of cigarettes is enough.

[xax]

Quote: dzvero

It is greasy for 3 cameras, which do not even need optics, because they remove them a meter away, such a suspension is a big mess.

[dzvero]

Cameras can be high-speed, maybe they have some other options, maybe there is also a protected information storage device ... in addition, they should work at high speeds, maybe even at super sound. So the development of a couple of such test containers is justified.

[Wedmak]

Maybe everything is easier? Topographic or optical reconnaissance? Maybe target designation for C-70.

[demo]

Wow
Exactly.
For a selfie!

Topographic or optical reconnaissance?

Su-24MR and MIG-25RB will appreciate this "shift"

[astepanov]

This is a water tank for extinguishing forest fires. In VO, many demanded the use of military aviation in the summer - so Shoigu went to meet the wishes of the workers. Shtob, that means no fires were burned. By the way, from tomorrow a law will come into force prohibiting barbecuing and smoking on balconies. And whoever breaks - such a "bird" will fly to those.

The sad thing is that the whole porch will be responsible for one lover of barbecue or smoker.

Smoking on balconies will still be possible legally. For example, this is important for me, I often smoke there. I believe that common sense prevailed among lawmakers! So not all is lost.

All photos of the planes of V. Savitsky are small masterpieces, of course they have nothing to do with games.

He is not just a photographer, he is a photographer! And with Photoshop, not even you, but the abusive words sends editing commands!))))

You are right - you are not an expert in the photo =)

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

I, too, am not a specialist, but I think that at the speed of this plane, this “thingy” will vomit with meat.

[ALEXXX1983]

Something I did not notice that missiles, bombs and fuel tanks from the external suspension often broke.

[askort154]

This is a type of weapon firing from around the corner. The Su-57 flies to itself aside, the enemy relaxed - it was he who walked past us.
And he "smack" them in the head with a ray or a rocket.

From Magadan to Anadyr.

[Zaurbek]

Hanging container and stealth things are different. F35 does without him. And so, the thing is very necessary!

[Karabas]

The start-up track had two large gondolas, and the Su-57 is much smaller, such a small gravitap.

[ProkletyiPirat]

Well apparently complex optical reconnaissance and target designation analogue of what Raphael advertises, and a functional analogue of what is integrated into the Su-34 and Su-25. In general, it allows any multifunctional fighter to be turned into a front-line bomber and attack aircraft with the possibility of independent or group hunting.

The 101KS self-defense complex was developed within the framework of the Atoll ROC and takes part in the operation of the aircraft at all stages of use: air-to-air, air-to-surface, piloting, defense.

The composition of the complex:

- Quantum optical location system (KOLS) 101KS-V (air external module) of the optical-electronic complex 101KS "Atoll"

101KS-V (airborne outdoor module) - quantum optical location system (KOLS) - a classic OLS with significantly increased characteristics with half the mass than, for example, the OLS Su-30. It is used to detect and determine the coordinates of the target in the optical and infrared ranges. The module is located in front of the cockpit in the usual place for the OLS, but unlike the stations of the previous generation it has the possibility of a mechanical extension. The system simultaneously and simultaneously operates in three spectral channels. OLS is not sensitive to electromagnetic interference.

-System to counter missiles with infrared homing heads 101KS-O (defensive external module) of the optical-electronic complex 101KS "Atoll".

101KS-O (defensive external module) - a system for countering missiles with infrared homing heads - a suppression laser. The system's capabilities are similar to those of 101KS-B + blinding attacking missiles. The 101KS-O modules are located behind the cockpit (this module is popularly nicknamed R2D2 for its external resemblance to the robot from "Star Wars") and below.

- All-aspect ultraviolet viewing system 101KS-U (ultraviolet external module) of the 101KS Atoll optoelectronic complex.

101KS-U (ultraviolet external module) is an all-angle viewing system in the ultraviolet spectrum; it is used to detect and determine the coordinates of jet engines (airplanes and missiles) in the UV spectrum and to provide the TsU 101KS-O.

- High-resolution thermal imager 101KS-P (aerobatic external module) of the 101KS Atoll optoelectronic complex.

101KS-P (aerobatic outdoor module) is a high-resolution thermal imager that provides low-altitude piloting and landing at night. Installed on the compartments of short-range missiles.

- Multi-channel optical sighting system of the suspended type 101KS-N (ground external module) of the 101KS Atoll optoelectronic complex.

[PlotnikoffDD]

it is necessary to make a fake for every flight by the forces of the local house of pioneers for some reason and let the intelligence of the world break their brains.

[Alkonost]

There is so much noise because of the "test video recording container"))) And given where the cameras are looking, perhaps this is the filming of missile launches from the OGRO.
