Does anyone know what this dome on the top of the SU-24 is? my guess its some kind of RWR, or maybe some kind of missile approach warning system?

i am now convinced that the Su-24 is indeed fully controlled by a soviet R2 D2.

Defensive measures were also improved with the new "Karpaty" system, incorporating the "Mak" infrared sensor on the upper fuselage surface amidships…..?
