[Regnum] A Russian Su-35 fighter jet intercepted a US Navy P-8 Poseidon anti-submarine aircraft with a secret radar. This was reported by the American magazine Military Watch Magazine (MWM).
A video of the interception of the American military aircraft over the Black Sea had previously appeared online. It was presumably filmed from the cockpit of a fighter jet flying parallel to the P-8 Poseidon.
In the published footage, the author of MWM noticed a new radar station (RLS) AN/APS-154 Advanced Airborne Sensor from Raytheon. The device is mounted under the fuselage of the P-8 Poseidon. It is noted that such a radar is rare and secret equipment that allows tracking moving targets at sea and on land, as well as creating high-quality images at night and in bad weather.
"The defining feature of the radar system is its ability to scan water and land simultaneously, allowing for coastal reconnaissance as well as tracking submarines and surface vessels," the publication says.
According to the publication, the US currently has about 125 P-8 Poseidons in service. It is noted that they are often used for reconnaissance over the Black Sea.
In October 2024, a Boeing P-8 Poseidon came dangerously close to an Su-35 over the Mediterranean Sea. The incident occurred while the Russian fighter was performing a scheduled flight.
