Overview:
Popularly known as the 'Frogfoot', the Su-25 is a twin-engine jet aircraft designed to provide close air support. The aircraft features an all-welded alloy cockpit with transparent windscreen armour block to protect the pilot and is equipped with a single K-36L Zvezda ejection seat. The wings have ten pylons that carry a wide range of air-to-air and air-to-ground weapon systems selected for the mission.
The aircraft's twin-barrel gun, the 30mm AO-17A, is installed in the underside of the fuselage on the port side. SPPU-22 gun pods can also be installed on the underwing pylons. An additional electronic warfare suite includes an SPO-15 Sirena-3 radar warning receiver and a Gardeniya radar jammer.
The aircraft is powered by two Soyuz/Gavrilov R-195s turbojet engines rated at 44.18kN. Cooling air is introduced at the end of the tail cone to reduce the temperature of the exhaust gases and minimise the infrared signature of the aircraft. The aircraft is equipped with self-sealing, foam-filled fuel tanks with a total capacity of 3,600 litres of fuel. The range of the aircraft can be extended by the provision of four PTB-1500 external fuel tanks, which are carried on the underwing pylons.
