What is the aircraft of choice for Russian SEAD missions? TIA.

[Sardaukar]

SU-24 and SU-34.

As Sardaukar says armed with the AS-17 'Krypton' backed up by the Su-24MP ('Fencer-F') with jammers

You can nicely practice these Russian SEAD tactics in the Iron fist scenario

[Sardaukar]

Iron Fist is indeed very good scenario for that, it shows very well that Russian SEAD tends to be bit more complicated than Western one.

The Journal of Electronic Defense (JED) had an article some time ago called "Red Sead" or something like that which gave a pretty good description of Russian tactics. I couldn't find it with a quick google search but will try to find it. Was very relevant to our game.

I think the article Mike means is called "Crimson SEAD". I does mainly concentrate to Soviet SEAD, but I think it is still relevant to Russia too.

It can be read here (though in bit awkward Usenet form):

Based on article, there is one more Russian SEAD aircraft, MiG-25BM. It carries:

AS-11 Kilter [Kh-58U, ARM, Semi-Ballistic] - (MiG-25BM) Guided Weapon
Surface Max: 240.8 km. Land Max: 240.8 km.
