   • SORBTSIYA ECM PODS Used to defeat hostile radar, the ECM, (Electronic Counter Measures,) jammer will confuse all radar so that the fighter can not be detected or locked onto with radar guided weapons. This does not give away the position of the fighter but it does let the enemy know that they are there. The only way that it can be defeated is with ECCM, (Electronic Counter-Counter Measures.)
     • PRIMARY PURPOSE: Block Enemy Radar
     • RANGE: 30 miles
     • RULES: Confuses all radar within 30 miles, but can be defeated by ECCM, if the ECCM operator gets a higher Sensory Instruments percentage roll against the ECM operator.

3. CHAFF/FLARE DECOY DISPENSORS: Located in the rear middle section of the SU-33's fuselage are the counter-measures dispensors. Triggered by the pilot they will release either a chaff cloud or single flare depending on what the pilot chooses. They are used to confuse enemy missiles attacking the fighter. Smart missiles get a 20% bonus when rolling on the below chart.
   01-50 Missile/s detonated by Chaff/Flare
   51-75 Missile/s loses track of target and veers away in wrong direction, (may lock onto another target)
   76-00 No effect, missile is still on target
   • Payload: Twenty of each type

STANDARD EQUIPMENT FOR THE SUKHOI SU-27K / SU-33 FLANKER:

• AUTO-PILOT: The SU-33 is equipped with a computerized auto-pilot, allowing the pilot to relax or even sleep during long voyages. The auto-pilot can be programmed with a single destination or a complex flight plan involving multiple speeds, directions, and destinations. The onboard computer will alert the pilot when the fighter is near its destination, and can also be set to automatically signal when sensors detect objects near the fighter.
• COMBAT COMPUTER W/HUD DISPLAYS: NPO Geophysica 36-sh EOS (controlled by NSTS-27 helmet mounted sight)
• EJECTOR SEATS/HOMING SIGNAL: Zvezda K-36DM - The pilot's seats are ejection seats designed to eject the pilot in the event of a catastrophe. They must be manually operated to fire. The pilot carries a homing devices within a small radio within their flightsuit in the event of them having to ditch. These radio/homing signals have a range of 100 miles.
• LASER RANGEFINDER: Range: 8 km.
• OPTICS: CAMERA: Range: 30 miles (48 km). A Television Camera Set (TCS) is used for visual target identification at long ranges. The TCS is a high resolution closed circuit television system. The selected FOV is displayed in the cockpit and can be recorded by the Cockpit Television System. It is used for both reconnaisance, and to assist in target aquisition in air to ground attacks.
• OPTICS: INFRARED: Range: 50km IRST
• OPTICS: NIGHTVISION: Range: 2000 feet (610 m).
• IN-FLIGHT REFUEL: The Flanker is fully capable of refueling in mid-air due to a forward mounted in-air refuel nozzle which allows the fighter to refuel and thus extend its operational range.
• ARRESTOR HOOK: The Flanker is equipped with an arrestor hook to permit it to land on Aircraft Carriers.
• COUNTER-MEASURES: The Flanker is equipped with chaff and flare decoy dispensers, as well as an ECM jammer linked into the SPO-15 "Beryoza" Radar Reciever Warning system. (See under Weapon Systems for details.)
• RADAR: N001 Pulse Doppler Radar with a range of 240km .
• RADIO COMMUNICATION: (R-862 radio & A-611 marker radio receiver) Long range, directional communications system with satellite relay capabilities. Range: 600 miles (960 km) or can be boosted indefinitely via satellite relay.
• STANDARD SURVIVAL KIT: The pilots flightsuit comes equipped with a portable survival equipment. The equipment includes a small waterproof radio/homing signal, a medium-sized flashlight, two hand flares, one rocket flare, a compass, infrared distancing binoculars, a small mirror, a pocket knife, dehydrated and concentrated food (can be stretched into a five day supply for one person) and basic first aid items (aspirin, bandages, disinfectants, etc.)
• TACTICAL LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEM: The Flanker's cockpit features pressurized air feeds to the pilots flight suit that provides them with pressurized breathing. The flight suit also promotes blood circulation even during high-g turns, thus decreasing the possibility of the pilot blacking out in combat.
