Su-25

Su-25

As promised, I will present in cyclical episodes these types of Russian weapons, with which we could meet in the event of an invasion of our country from the UBIR forces. Today the "working horse" of the Federation Aviation, So the Su-25 plane.
Suchoj 25 is unanimous, The sound machine created by the Soviets in the late 70's, as an assault aircraft designed for direct support of the battlefield. In NATO nomenclature referred to as the frogfoot code.

It is a typical "flying tank" - the construction of the hull and cockpit of the pilot is significantly armored. The aircraft was tested during the Afghan war, where he showed great effectiveness in combating mudshadin; attitude (mainly due to the American AIM Stinger sets) For successful missions, He was very beneficial for the Soviet side. The construction was constantly improved over the years of production, Versions with an increased load capacity of the transferred equipment were created, among others, for night activities, and for starts from aircraft carriers. A fact should be added as a curiosity, that SU-25 as one of the few machines in the world, can safely operate from ground ground airports. However, its biggest advantage is the fact, that it has the ability to carry up to four and a half tonnes of suspended weapons on ten wing nodes (np 8 half -ton bombs each weight). To, Plus a permanent cannon for a hull kal. 30mm, they form from Suchoja 25 a kind of king of destruction during raids on cities, urban clusters, estates etc.. As I mentioned at the beginning, This aircraft is resistant to the fire of shooting weapons. A successful machine landing was recorded in Afghanistan, on which there was more than 150 traces of shots. The fact of "battleship", as well as a decent radius of action (about 680 km) at average 850 km/h, They form a basic war aircraft from the SU-25.

So as assumed, for the need of an article, We need to choose what measures are the most desirable in the destruction of these machines. Both Afghan conflict (40 lost machines) and the war in Georgia from 2008 (Four bumps), clearly demonstrated the effectiveness of portable Stinger anti -aircraft sets, Needle, or our thunder. Fired from virtually anywhere in the "herd" (several shooters with launchers at the same time), give the chances of effective hits of low -flying machines. Such sets are a proven predisposed means of fighting against SU-25.
