Survivability and armour
Examine the survivability of the aircraft. Note how vulnerable the structure is and how secure the pilot is, whether the fuel tanks are armoured, etc. Describe the armour, if there is any, and also mention the vulnerability of other critical aircraft systems.

Armaments
Offensive armament
The Su-25T is armed with:
- A choice between two presets:
- 1 x 30 mm GSh-30-2 cannon, belly-mounted (200 rpg)
- 1 x 30 mm GSh-30-2 cannon + 192 x countermeasures
Suspended armament
Describe the aircraft's suspended armament: additional cannons under the wings, bombs, rockets and torpedoes. This section is especially important for bombers and attackers. If there is no suspended weaponry remove this subsection.
The Su-25T can be outfitted with the following ordnance presets:
- Without load
- 2 x 800 liters drop tanks
- 2 x R-60M missiles
- 32 x 100 kg OFAB-100 bombs (3,200 kg total)

- 4 x 23 mm GSh-23L cannons (250 rpg = 1,000 total)
Usage in battles
The SU-25T Frogfoot is best suited for ground attack in general, using similar, to the same tactics as its predicessor, low and fast passes, with the new guided munitions coming into play, especially the Vikhr missiles that have the potential to wipe ground units. It's also very survivable just like its predecessor. In air battles, you are at a major disadvantage as aircraft you'll usually face have radar missiles that are advance, along with pulse dopplar radar. You will not outrun or catch any opponents. R-60Ms are still decent, though they have to be conserved and used carefully. You can still dogfight enemies but majority of the vehicles, especially the F-14s, F-16s and MiG-29s of top tier can still dance around you easily. At best, try to avoid confrontation, fly to the side and low, aiming for ground targets such as AAA, howitzers and light pillboxes or bombing bases if you can get there in time. IRCM will help, though it is best to use in tandem with countermeasures, as the IRCM is not guaranteed to spoof missiles, especially close range.
Pros:
- Slightly upgraded flight performance, with a newer engine.
- Engines can be overclocked too 104 percent throttle for extra thrust.
- Can equip Kh-29Ts and 9K127 Vihkr missiles for ground attack compared to its predecessor
- IRCM jammer that can disrupt Air to Air missiles, along with a good amount of countermeasures.
- Tanky airframe, can survive missiles such as Stingers.
- Upgraded RWR, can pinpoint radar pings accurately.
- Large weaponry option, with different and unique combinations
Cons:
- Slow aircraft and heavy aircraft, especially with ordinance.
- IRCM cannot stop missiles that have IRCCM such as Stingers.
- Only two R-60Ms for self defense.
- Can overspeed, and overheat the engines if not careful with the throttle.
- Mediocre manuverability.
- Controls compress at high speeds.
History
The Su-25T project was an attempt to create an anti-tank aircraft that would be able to operate both during the daytime and at night, equipped with targeting systems and guided munitions to defeat armored vehicles. The list of equipment for the future aircraft was formalized in 1979, it was based on the Shkval targeting and navigation system and the Mercury television sight. The prototype passed the factory tests in 1987, by 1990 the project was prepared for mass production but due to the collapse of the USSR it did not start. A small batch of completed aircraft took part in the Chechen War in 1996. After the transfer of the production base from Tbilisi, Georgia to Ulan-Ude, Russia, the project was re-focused for export. An export version with slightly different avionics was designated the Su-39. In total, three attack aircraft of this configuration were built. Due to lack of funding, the project was closed.
