Beschreibung

This volume details the technical features and operational performance of the Soviet Su-25 'Frogfoot', which proved itself as a durable and versatile attack aircraft in a variety of theatres such as Afghanistan, Georgia and Ossetia. Today it is widely accepted as the true successor to the types of specialised ground--attack aircraft that emerged during World War II. This book illuminates the service history of the 'Frogfoot' in over 30 years of combat using first-hand accounts and revealing archive photographs. The awkward-looking Su-25 has often been underrated, but the faithful 'Frogfoot' is now slated to remain in service with most of its current operators across the globe until at least 2020. This study explores the successes of the 'Frogfoot' in full, demonstrating its strengths as a formidably armed, armoured and very agile attack aircraft.

Zusammenfassung

The 'Frogfoot' received its baptism of fire just five years after its maiden flight, seeing considerable action in Operation Romb, following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1980. Although now well into its fourth decade of service with the Russian air force, the Su-25 is slated to remain as the service's principal attack and CAS platform for another 30 years.
