Sukhoi Su-25 Grach Close-Air-Support Aircraft Family
The Sukhoi Su-25 Grach is a Soviet-designed, subsonic armored attack-aircraft family created for close air support and battlefield operations. Its protected cockpit and engine installations, redundant systems, and ability to operate from austere forward airfields made it one of the most recognizable and widely operated attack-aircraft designs of the late twentieth century; the T-8 prototypes led to single-seat, two-seat, and later modernized Su-25 variants.
