VMA RF is much more likely to have these compared to the VKS, but nonetheless it has apparently already been ordered by the MoD. (Fighterbomber Telegram)



Add, it leans more to the complex command and control functions that increase with the rise of UCAVs, many based around the Su-57, like S-71 and S-70.

Furthermore older Su-30 needs to replaced as well.

Aero Influencers Sam Chui provide video on his UN tour with Mi-26 over flooded area in South Sudan. He is not military enthusiasts, but more civilian aero online influencers. However one point his comments in my opinion shown difference between Mi-26 then other Helicopters. It's fly more like cargo plane (on other occasion in his channel he compare it with AN-26), then other heavy weight helicopters.
