I was taking about all three underbelly assemblies.
1 is cleared (still have doubt) but what about remaining two.

These are available in this pic
PicsArt_08-18-01.42.33.jpg


But all three are missing here



There are various systems attached underbelly
Compare all pics.

1. no underbelly attachment


2. Underbelly bump with some kind of optical system (exact type not known)


3. With only optical system (exact type not known)


4. With Optical system/sensor and underbelly two underbelly assemblies


5. Some kind of unusual attachment near rear door.

Tricolor painted plane is Il-114MP surviallance/patrol testbed for Kasatka (Orca) surviallance suit.
It carries detachable modular containers with optical (multi-spectral), passive RF, magnitometric suit modules and AESA-powered side-looking radar (those long containers under belly).

The other planes on photos are passenger carriers for local routes, the primary role as it is.
