The countries of Southeast Asia equip their combat aircraft with new means of defense, trying to strengthen the protection of obsolete Soviet-built cars.
In particular, Indonesian fighter Su-27 hit the camera lens, on which the Talisman airborne defense system was installed as part of the test program. This BKO is produced in Belarus by the Defense Initiatives enterprise. It is designed to fend off threats, coming from missiles of various classes - both air, and ground-based, including MANPADS. The BKO has two operating modes - “electronic stealth” and “false target”.
This product also provides protection for nearby aircraft., not equipped with such electronic warfare systems […] Test and test results are very satisfactory
– noted in the Indonesian publication EGI Inovasi.
The Vietnamese Air Force also did not remain aloof from the novelty of the Belarusian defense industry.. "Talisman" was installed on the Su-22M4 fighter-bomber.
No doubt, that the Talisman BKO will create an electronic shield around Vietnamese fighters
– indicated in the publication DayDayNews.
As explained, Vietnamese Air Force has 36 modernized Su-22 aircraft, which have undergone a series of improvements in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. As a result, they were able to effectively use R-13 air-to-air missiles, R-60 and R-73.
