@defaviaspace: The Sukhoi Su-57 utilizes DIRCM, which stands for Directed Infrared Countermeasures. Part of the 101KS Atoll electro-optical suite, this system defends the fighter jet against heat-seeking missiles. Once missile sensors detect an incoming threat, DIRCM works by firing modulated laser beams directly into the missile’s optical seeker. This effectively blinds its guidance tracking mechanism, forcing the threat off-course. On the Su-57, DIRCM is uniquely split into two distinct laser-emitting turrets to maximize coverage area: one is located on the dorsal spine right behind the cockpit, and the second is placed on the ventral side beneath the cockpit. The Su-57 Secret Behind Russia's Long-Range Strikes provides a deeper look into how advanced systems like the 101KS suite and specialized armaments shape the tactical deployment and defense strategies of the modern Su-57 aircraft. #fyp #su57 #dircm #russia
