Not good on modern Russian aircraft think No1 and 3 are Su-30, but have questions on equip fitted what ever model they are

What are the wing tip pods they appear to have a radome type tip on back and front ends/

Number 3 (can't tell on No1) has this huge central rear facing pod above and between the engines it again appears to have radome tip, I did read some SU30 have a rear facing radar is that it?

cheers

The wingtip pods on number one (Su-34) are SAP-518 Sorbtsiya ECM pods, roughly analogous to the ALQ-131 SPJ. I think it can carry a larger pod on the centreline (SAP-14?) for Standoff Jamming, à la ALQ-99.

The tip on number three (Su-24 Fencer) is the housing for the brake chute. The Flanker family was long rumoured to have rearward facing radar, even in otherwise reputable publications, but, in reality, the rear boom houses the brake chute and APU. :ok:
