Russia's United Aircraft Corporation has posted video of a test firing of the cannon for the fifth-generation Sukhoi T-50 fighter jet.
The video was posted late last week on the company's YouTube channel.
It shows the NNPU-50 cannon being fired at a range outside Moscow, the Tass news agency reported Monday.
The mounting included a 9-A1-4071, one of the lightest cannons of that type that can fire up to 150 30mm bullets during one sortie.
That cannon is an upgraded version of the GSh-301 30mm auto cannon mounted on Russia's MiG-29, Su-27, Su-30, Su-33 and Su-35 fighters, as well as frontline bombers and the Yak-38 vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, Tass reported.
The T-50 took its maiden flight in 2010.
Lockheed Martin demos Legion sensor pod on F-15
Orlando, Fla. (UPI) Sep 21, 2016 –
Lockheed Martin's Legion Pod sensor system has successfully performed its first flight test on an F-15C aircraft.
The pod is a a multi-function sensor system and supports collaborative long-range detection and tracking of airborne threats .
The pod was mounted on an F-15C at Jacksonville Air National Guard Base in Florida. Lockheed Martin said the operation did not involve modification of the aircraft because of Legion's common interface.
"Similar to last year's F-16 flight tests, Legion Pod successfully tracked multiple airborne targets in representative scenarios," said Paul Lemmo, vice president of Fire Control/SOF CLSS at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control.
"With our most advanced technology, a hot production line and established logistics depot, Legion Pod is ready to fulfill urgent capability gaps and support critical air-to-air missions."
The Legion Pod system features an IRST21 infrared sensor and advanced networking and data processing technology and accommodates additional sensors.
It is available to meet the requirements of the U.S. Air Force's F-15C infrared search-and-track program of record, which include long-range detection and tracking in a wide field of view. Legion Pod also offers a variety of capabilities for other fighter and non-fighter aircraft.
