Designed by Sukhoi, the S-37 Berkut first flew in December 2001. It was intended as a replacement for the Flanker, but with the end of the Soviet Union it was canceled, all it managed to become was a one off technology demonstrator.
The Flanker remained in Russian service while being continuously enhanced and exported by Sukhoi itself, with the latest Su-35 version flying only recently.
Here we can see the Berkut flying in formation with a Su-27 and a Su-30 Flanker.

Eagle Dynamics released a video about the various modes in which the Flares countermeasures can be programmed to and how enemy Laser targeting activates the Threats display. It does show to what lengths ED went so as to simulate the real-world style operation of those systems - and that great attention was given to even small details.
The high workload needed to fly and fight the Ka-50 cockpit will clearly require a lot of skill, as it does in real life.

- VIDEO :: F-15C Radar: Introduction and Long Range Scan (LRS)
Join me in this introduction to the F-15C's radar, the AN/APG-63. The goal of this mission is to introduce you to the Vertical Situation Display (radar scope) and, using the Long Range Search (LRS) mode, to discuss the importance of understanding your scan volume: where it's pointing, and what it's doing. You will also learn to understand and interpret what you might see while in LRS mode. Targeting modes are not discussed. Nor will we be shooting anything down today.
