A spectacular video from the cockpit of the Su-25 "Grach" attack aircraft with the launch of S-25 missiles was published
We often write about drones, armored personnel carriers, BMPs and artillery systems, but aviation rarely makes it into the video. The new video can rather be called an exception.
What we know
A short video, shot from the cockpit, shows the work of the pilot of the Su-25 "Grach" attack aircraft. Also in the beginning of the video you see the launching of S-25 unguided rockets, of course, at the positions of Russian troops.
The Su-25 Grach made its maiden flight on February 22, 1975, but the plane was not put into service until six years later. The attack aircraft is designed to destroy targets at specified coordinates, as well as to support ground troops in the daytime and at night.
According to FlightGlobal, at the end of last year, the fleet of Su-25 Grach of the Ukrainian Air Force consisted of 17 combat-ready aircrafts. Since February 24, 2022, our country has already lost five "iron birds," according to Aviation Safety Network. Russia has lost six, by the way.
