Comments
The infrared line scanner is sidelooking only. Originally Soviet cameras were installed in this pod which were replaced by more modern Vinten cameras in the early 90s.
The pod also contains the "UPOR" chaff dispenser with 32 cartridges. I don't know weather the pod can be modelled this way or the chaff has to be included in the mounts/stores of the aircraft.
Properties: Pod - Recon, Night Capable (because of the Infrared Line Scanner and illumination flares would be released for the cameras)
