Garmin GPSMap Spotted in Russian Attack Jet

Russia's military machine may be vast but sometimes the tech is a little behind as witnessed by some pictures that appeared on Twitter last week.
Posted by @Missilito, the pics show an SU-24 as it perfoms an in-flight refuel from an Il-76 tanker aircraft. But the really interesting bis is the Garmin GPS, mounted on top of the instrument panel in a crudely fashioned homebrew cradle.
It's not uncommon to see consumer GPS in-use in commercial passenger aircraft but it is thankfully rare to see them in a fast jet, presumably Russia still has some whose navigation systems are overdue a refresh.

Low flying exercise?
