Su-27SK No. 6002 of Vietnam People's Air Force flying with two Sorbitsiya countermeasure pods on its wingtips. 

At the moment, the Vietnam People's Air Force operates a number of ECM systems from Russia, Belarus, etc.

Sorbitsiya or Khibiny (L-175V) is Russian aircraft electronic countermeasures (ECM) system. The system is designed for radio direction-finding and probing signal source irradiation allowing it to distort reflected signal parameters. This helps to :

-Delay aircraft detection;

-Mask the true subject against false reflections;

-Cause range finding difficulties, namely in speed and angular positions;

-Degrading Maintenance Mode "on the aisle" when scanning antenna beam radar;

-Increase the time and difficulty of capturing an object during real-time active scanning.
