The Russian Tu-214R radio-technical and optoelectronic reconnaissance aircraft and the Su-34M multi-functional front-line supersonic fighter-bomber have extensive capabilities for conducting reconnaissance on the battlefield. This was pointed out by military expert Yevgeny Damantsev.
According to him, in order to uncover armored vehicles, barrel artillery and operational-tactical complexes disguised in a forest, it is necessary to use the Tu-214R with onboard phased array radars MRK-411.
Containerized radar reconnaissance systems "Sych" based on the "Pika-M" radar system, placed on the Su-34M pylons and capable of detecting and classifying large disguised ground objects of the enemy in synthetic aperture mode at a distance of up to 250 km, as well as targets such as self-propelled artillery units and a tank platoon at a distance of up to 170 km, will also help.
According to information from open sources, the radar range in active mode on the Tu-214R is estimated at 250 km. In passive radio reconnaissance mode, the detection range of objects by their own radio emission is up to 400 km.
In the variant of using the Su-34M as a reconnaissance aircraft, it is planned to use suspended equipment — the suspended universal reconnaissance container (UKR) "Sych", which was developed in three versions, depending on the type of reconnaissance: optical, radar and radio-technical.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the Russian Armed Forces used the rarest coastal missile system "Utes". The maximum launch range is up to 460 km.
