Su-25: Return of Shturmoviks

The Su-25, a Soviet jet-powered CAS aircraft, was developed for roughly the same reasons as the American A-10 Thunderbolt II. After WW2, both superpowers came to the conclusion that there was no need for a dedicated ground attack aircraft anymore. After the harsh lessons of the Vietnam War, though, the US immediately revised their policy and started working on a new jet-powered attack aircraft.

Subtitles are available in the following languages: English, Spanish, French, German, Polish, Turkish, Chinese, Portuguese.

I always love it when this channel covers the history and variants of these aircraft.

I still miss that British narrator, he made those videos work

[mysticshadow]

fun fact, the su 25 engines can run on many different fuels even diesel

[thechlebek]

totally finished and balanced damage model

a dedicated episode for SU-25! Sergey would absolutely love this!
keep up the good work, Gaijin!
also, send my gratitude to the basement guy ;)

Great video and I love the plane! My only admonishment is you didn't show it being shot down in SIM by mid field AA because the pilot was trying to use the zoom and fire a laser guided missle on targets that all look like pin pricks. Excited to unlock the Flying at tree top level at red line in these planes really sells the feelling of being in a modern conflict and there is no other rush like it. The A-10 is no longer my favorite bird. The SU-25 is and forever will be my most favorite ground attacker!!!!

I suggest to the development team to simulate the Grach s rival, the il 102, a very charming plane

"Thats where the similarities end between the a10 and su25." Proceeds to list more similarities and features of the a10

[Sobdee]

Now we have 5 SU 25 (with vakhirs and R 73´s) and only 2 A10 with nothing speacial to Very balanced

Thanks for making a Video on the SU25, its good that you listen to the fans.

Fun fact, Vladimir Ilyushin is the son of Sergei Ilyushin, the owner of the Ilyushin aerospace company. Talk about betrayal.

I love running the SU-25's and the A-10's. My goal every match has been to gun down the opposite plane. Makes for some interesting fights

[Amin_ktm]

the bias this aircraft has is insane sometimes she can survive 3 missiles sparrow barely kills this plane

[sniperjira]

Su-25s are basically a practice targets for aircrafts (this is same for A-10s)

[JSDFEnthusiast]

"Sometimes even stingers couldn't bring it down"

The entire reasoning behind Gaijin making it immune to multiple aim-9's

[FlyingOstridge]

I'm going to assume that the Su-25TM and by extension Su-39 can use some soviet Anti Ship missiles. If that's the case then when would we see some modern-ish ships? One year? Two?

[Himbeere_]

When are you going to add the A-10C. I ask because you have already added the Su25T.

[danielberger]

the music in the background is some serious playlist stuff 🤘

[Russão]

Ah thanks for the Ultra Low Wing Rip Speed that dont let me back to base

[patricksnap-titemurray]

My only addition to this is the fact it is virtually a copy of the Northrop A-9 which failed the competition against the A-10 Thunderbolt II. The Su-25 has longer, more powerful, less efficient engines and a Soviet-styled tail with less cockpit visibility.

At 1:40 the tank that was blown up what tank was that
