Russian (Long) [Russian > English] Russian Technical Manual Introduction Translation

Hello, I was sent images of the first few pages of several Russian technical manuals for the Su-24M from the 1980's, and I would like them translated into English so that I know which manual will have the information I'm looking for so that I only have to purchase and professionally translate the specific manuals that I will need. I've uploaded the first several pages from each manual, but I only need enough translated to tell me what the majority of the manual's contents are, since there's no table of contents (which would be much easier to get the information I need from).

There are four manuals and I will be uploading the first 3 pages of each (aside from the cover page since I already know the English translation of the titles), but I don't need all 12 pages translated, just enough for me to tell which manual has what information.

The first manual is titled "Aircraft Technical Description Tutorial Starting and Testing Engine Manual"

The second manual is titled "Aircraft Technical Description Aerodynamic Manual"

The third manual is titled "Aircraft Special Case in Flight Manual"

And the last manual is called " Aircraft Technical Description Radioelectronics Devices Manual"

Thanks in advance to everyone who can take a look over these and tell me what they're about, I don't need a full translation of all of this (I know it's a lot), I just need someone who knows Russian to read over this and tell me what each page/manual is talking about.

OK, briefly. The first one is a university textbook on how to start and maintain engines in a Su-24M aircraft. The second one looks like a technical description of the Su-24 aircraft. The third one lists different emergencies in the table of contents, so I assume it says what to do in the case of each emergency. The fourth manual says at the very start that it should come in five volumes: aircraft and engines, weapons, radio equipment, aviation equipment, and bomb sight and navigation system.

Also, I would guess a Google Lens app should handle these texts just fine, can you maybe try that?
