1.Welcome to this Su-25Ttraining lesson on the Shkval electro-optical targeting system.
2.You can take control at anytime by pressing the ESC key.
3.To pause the lesson, press the PAUSE key.
4.Pay close attention to this lesson because the information will be useful in later lessons.
5.The primary targeting system of the Su-25T is the I-251 Shkval electro-optical targeting system, which is designed to detect and automatically track targets in day-light conditions. Additionally, the Su-25T can be equipped with the Mercury low-light television targeting system for night-time operations. The functionality of the two systems is identical.
6.Begin by selecting air-to-ground mode by pressing 7.
7.Lets take a look at the Weapon Readiness Panel.
8.The yellow lights indicate weapon stations that are loaded.
9.A green light indicate stores carried on that station.
10.The Weapon Type window indicates the type of weapon selected using the following symbols:
11.НРС (Russian NRS) is for unguided rockets. When selected, the HUD will display the specific rocket type.
12.Б: (Russian B) is for free-fall bombs. When selected, the HUD will only indicate that bombs are selected, without specifying the specific type.
13.УР (Russian UR) is for guided missiles. This will be displayed when either air-to-surface or air-to-air missiles are selected. The HUD will indicate the specific type of missile selected.
14.ВПУ (Russian VPU) is for the internal gun. The HUD will repeat the ВПУ indication as well as the amount of ammunition remaining in quarters.
15.ППУ (Russian PPU) is for external gun pods. The HUD will repeat the ППУ indication as well as the amount of ammunition remaining in quarters.
16.The Reserve window displays the weapons type that can be used simultaneously with the currently selected weapon.
17.The lower part of the Weapons Readiness Panel contains three windows that display the amount of ammunition remaining as follows:
-outer external gun pods
-inner external gun pods
-internal gun
Note, that the ammunition remaining is displayed in quarters using the following symbology:
K fully loaded
3/4 75% remaining
1/2 50% remaining
H3 (Russian NZ) -- Low
//// None
18.Were now ready to take a closer look at the Shkval targeting system.
19.Press O to uncage the sensor. As we do so, a ТВ (Russian TV) indication appears the HUD and the television monitor (TVM) in the cockpit displays a monochrome image of the sensors line of sight.
20.The TVM image is overlaid with aircraft attitude symbology to assist with maintaining situational awareness. This includes an aircraft datum to indicate roll, a pitch reference line with a numeric indication of pitch angle, and the current radar altitude.
21.The sensor can be slewed horizontally and vertically by using the ; . ; / keys. The HUD symbology includes the sensors line of sight, and the TVM includes azimuth and elevation scales marked for 10 degrees along the top and left side of the display.
The sensor can be slewed up to 35-degrees left or right, 15-degrees up, and 80-degrees down.
In flight, the sensor is automatically stabilized in roll for up to 30-degrees. If aircraft roll exceeds 60-degrees while the sensor is tracking, the target tracking will be lost.
