ORIGIN (REAL WORLD):
Soviet Untion/Russia

GAMES FEATURED IN:
Ace Combat Assault Horizon

COMPATIBLE AIRCRAFT:
Su-25TM

OVERVIEW:
The SPPU-22-1 is a gun pod consisting of a two barelled GSh-23L cannons usually carried by Su-17/20/22/25/TM for ground attack purposes. It can traverse for 0-30 degrees in order to maximize the effects when starfing a ground target thanks to its integrated FCS that allows the system to lock on to a specific point on ground by the time the pilot pulls the trigger.

In the game, the only aircraft to carry this weapon is the Sukhoi Su-25TM as its SP weapon to increase the firepower of the standard machine gun. Like the UPK-23 on MiG-21 (Which is basically the air-to-air variant with of the GSh-23L gunpod), it has 540 rounds of ammunition and never overheats, however, fast firing rate means that it will exhaust ammunition in short time, so ammo conservation is important

In-game image added. And article was fixed

Oh, and is the UPK-23 and SPPU-22-1 are basically the same? Since they both use GSh-23Ls. And if so, do we need an article for UPK-23 or just combine the UPK-23 into here?
