Stills from a new Russian MoD clip on VKS #Su30SM operations against Ukraine that show the fighters carrying Kh-29T-series TV-guided air-to-surface missiles on their inboard wing stations. This is the first official war-related clip to show Su-30SMs armed with this missile type. 
Front to back:
- 518-LSM1 ECM pod
- R-73L short-range air-to-air missile
- R-77-1 medium-range air-to-air missile
- Kh-29T-series short-range air-to-surface missile.

Update 1/1
Noticed that a Su-30SM armed with a pair of Kh-29T-series air-to-surface missiles is also very briefly shown in an earlier video, published in early April (likewise filmed at Kursk-Khalino AB).
