THE STRONGEST PLANE EVER BUILT
SU-25
Thumbnail Credit - live.warthunde...
I remember when we were complaining about F-5C tanking missiles back in the day, Su-25 has exceeded all levels in this matter lol.
o7
Well, at least Su-25 is designed to have a high chance of surviving a hit from a manpad. F-5 feels more worthy of complaints as it is a very small unarmored fighter that has zero business being this survivable.
@@stoyantodorov2133 the su25 also has no business being this survivable.
@@curtsauce3947 It certainly shouldn't shrug off anything bigger than a manpad, I admit. But the previous damage model that got destroyed by an angry stare was just as inaccurate.
dont forget the mention su25's pilot is able to tank stinger on his face
This thing feels like what I expected the a10 to feel like when I got both of them. The survivability is unreal.
if a10 gets a shot to its tail than its prettty much dead but this thing? a10late is 10.0 and this is 9.7 is this justice? pff
Well, A-10 real one can take more hits than SU-25 and if pilot is brave enough can be flown manually without hydraulics back in the 2003.
@@MythicFrost but gaijin does not include this in game :/ im very very very dissapointed.

It reborn for the planes with the Su-25.
basically what the A-10 is supposed to be
@@wadewilson4998 yeah, kinda. But the A-10 got a lot of mobility buff compared to it's irl counterpart. Not speed tho.
It really should be a flying brick.
@@FazekasPK from what i can tell the A-10 is a little more maneuverable than people realize
@@wadewilson4998 It is....just not when you have ordinance on it because the airframe has a higher G rating than the bomb attachment points can handle
War thunder moment đ
You cannot convince me that this isn't blatantly done because the A-10 is similarly armed up and reinforced and folds like a wet cracker when you launch a MANPAD at it most every time-
@ThyPeasantSlayer and a lot of those planes won't likely be flying again due to the damages likely being too extensive to repair or too costly in some cases for the airframe rework-
And also, what about AAM larger than manpadd that it can also usually tank once or twice?
And why can't the A-10 in-game survive simular when built similarly for armor and redundancy?
â@@user-gv4zb9rc6u amerimutt cope is something else
@@user-gv4zb9rc6u fun fact the a10s SEPARATE CONTROL SURFACES dont work when one is destroyed you cant maneuver even tho both wires control all controls

@@elford3906 yes but idk where
SU25 has twice the armor of the A10 and has quadplex distributed routing for its control surfaces (vs the duplex for A10). There was a SU25 in Afhanistan that got a telephone pole wento into its engine after the pilot flew low. The pilot did not even notince it before he returned to the airbase and had landed. There is video footage of this.
This is also probably the only plane in the game capable of deflecting depleted uranium shells.
underrated comment
+every chopper ever in war thunder
Not only does this thing tank almost every SAM I fire at it, but it also sometimes just makes my SANTAL not fire, at all. It's an incredible piece of aviation excellence.
I believe that the Su-25 and the A-10 are supposed to have similar levels of durability IRL, but in gameâŠ
The A-10 is made out of the servers structural integrity, while the Su-25 is made out of the imagined strength of the Russian armed forces
Oh lord, 64 replies⊠thisâll be fun
@ThyPeasantSlayer cope
@ThyPeasantSlayer Russia has been using it's own military to fight it's former militaries for 100 years now, if we are going to talk about friendly fire you should probably mention that. If we talk about civilians, well I don't think I'll go there.
@ThyPeasantSlayer Cope
@ThyPeasantSlayeri smell copium on u
@ThyPeasantSlayer Iâm gonna interpret that as you meming what gaijin would say to that.
Meanwhile the A-10 is made out of papier-mache
Rip brrrt boi
literally takes one 20mm hit through the elevator, nothing is broken and it becomes uncontrollable
They modeled the controls correctly, but made them off the same hitbox completely undoing that.

When Putin threatens to send gaijin CEO to gulag if they don't make su-25 feel like it's a brick of stalinium
IRL some versions of this plane were made out of reinforced stalinium.
I don't mind it survivng a stinger to the face. There is real footage proving it can happen. It's just weird that the A-10 doesn't have the same survivability. And before anyone comes screeching "bias", the F-5 has been in the game for more than a year and still has the damage model of a tank.
â@@stoyantodorov2133the real footage showed the missile didn't directly hit it and it managed to limp back to base. Not just shrug off 20 MANPADS directly in the face. And the F5C example doesn't really work when no jet (including the A-10 that's supposed to have near the same level of protection) has damage models this broken until this one Russian premium. There's also everything else going on with Russia that doesn't help this jet's case at all
â@@ahta5708 while true, that fact that irl took nearly a dozen stingers to take one of them down, direct hit or not shows the ruggedness of the aircraft,
Love the edited intro's as of late! Would be cool to get more of them during the battle too
I remember back when they first added the Russian planes. They had apparently outsourced the model development and there were incorrect values. You could literally slice multiple other planes in half with the wings of things like a chaika and keep flying. Impacts never seemed to damage more than orange.
IRL the SU25 has literally twice the armor of the A10 and has quadplex distributed routing for its control surfaces (vs the duplex for A10).
The sight of seeing a plane you hit with an AAM missile head on, tanking it and coming at you with a fast firing twin barrel 30mm gun, is probably the most terrifying thing you can see.
Have only had one time where a stinger was able to 1 tap me in this thing, it is simply OP.
Rightđ I keep going up against these things in my lav. One tanked 2 rockets, and somehow came around a damn mountain to come back and kill međ Granted the stingers are ass, and have terrible lock range. Iâve had better luck 1 tapping air targs with the chadleyâs lock on abilityđ€Ł
Funny how they fixed this plane a couple days after phly's video haha, thank god
âFixedâ
Totally balanced and unbiased
I've been grinding USA tree and am experiencing this like crazy. Hit two separate SU-25ks with missiles back to back and they were just critical hits. Go in for a gun run to finish them and set them on fire. I pull off and look back, they just put it out and keep on flying. It's pretty crazy how strong they are right now
Last week in this plane I was hit by 4-5 SAMS in grb was still able to kill both of the people firing them and almost made it to runway. Su25 is busted and thereâs a reason that it sounds like a tank name from ww2
A-10 : Dies before the missile even hits
single 20mm breaks the elevator and gone
tail gone
pilot sniped
Su-25 : Doesnt give a single sh
i still hope these two planes will someday be as tanky, cause they should both be tanky
Su-25 has 1,250lbs more titanium armor. Makes sense that it would be tanky considering it survived a S-125 hit in Chechnya.
The Su 25 is the most op airplane in the game. I would argue even more than the Mig 29. I genuinely think it would be balanced at 10.7.
This is why grinding russia with the su25k feels like its cheating
This is why grinding russia with the -su25k- everything feels like its cheating

Also day 6: The tornado has CCRP so you can lob supersonic bombs at 20km and use the laser sight to spot targets easier from far away (honestly this one is a better idea for a video)
"flying tank" - its design originally consisted of titanium alloys.
Even the tanks did not explode when hit by a projectile, due to the peculiarities of its design.
I think the su-25 is made out of russian suspension sprockets, same feeling when hitting it
stalinium do be exising though
14:48 so the F-104 is one of those planes where the airframe can't take the engines as well but the wings are so small they just never rip and either you die, your enemy dies, or nothing happens as you sail past the target you missed at mach 2.98 closure rate.
The fact that the A10 is somehow incredibly fragile, despite literally being designed to take SAMs and AAA, while the SU25 eats missile after missile after missile is one of the most baffling things about CAS in this game.
Iâve been playing the Type 93 a lot recently and holy cow the Su-25 is so unfair, the ONLY time i one shot them is a pilot snipe. never a fatal fire, never a wing or tail snaps off, itâs ridiculous. iâve had some of them even take 4 entire missiles before dying. the control surfaces are unbelievably strong especially compared to the A-10âs control surfaces that break if you hit them with a rock.
Watch gaijin buff the A10 damage model after phly, made a massive point about the damage model
Justice.
I own da su25k and basically it's too OP
Only the big youtubers can influence how the playerbase experience the game. Thank you Phly for this video. I bet you Gaijin wouldn't change the damage model if people submitted to the forums, or post it Reddit, it is not their style to nerf Russia.
8:35 That poor I-15. That poor thing never stood a chance against 35mm. Also, that was good on the Gepard for reacting so quickly. One thing I do wish is search radars, they are really good for situational awareness, I have been gunned/bombers countless times when engaging multiple aircraft in lower BRs were we rely only on eyesight.
Anybody remember the CW-21 when added? Literally no damage could be taken, except the pilot. Ramming with it was a very effective strategy
Whaddya mean "when added" the CW-21's damage model has never been changed since it was added.
Hi Phly! I haven't watched your content in like 3years but today i felt the sudden urge to do so, and this takes me back to memory lane. I missed these video's so damn much, thank you for all the time and effort you put in to these. keep it up

Welcome back Phly
Back to business:
My Request:
Btw i saw you have the M48 Suuuuuuuuuuper but you didn't even made one vid about it so why don't you do
M48 Super aka Go-Kart Patton (at least in arcade PvEđ) And because you want to play a combination take the IL-28 out with its FAB 3000 for some multikills
Day: 142
-Phly Decal on top of Obj. 685
-Tigor not spotted
The reason why the Su-25 has such survivability is the armor bug. For example, helicopters such as the Ec-665 Tiger can eat 10+ igla or stinger missiles if they hit an armored part. That is, if you catch missiles with the nose of a helicopter, then it is invulnerable. This also works with the Mi-28. All aircraft that have armor is broken.
Play with the P.108A serie 2 italian plane with the 102mm round
You missed the chat 12:42 even the guy who got killed doesnât get it
Sukhoi testing actually did include lobbing warheads into a running engine.
17:09 was a top notch "oh no, anyways.." moment xD
Was it this plane or the other one, if you go to the "Protection Analysis" screen , you can't damage the engines with any projectile? It's another "Russian T-54 special" with hidden armor.
How ironic in these days of the Russian war that of all the things a Gepard was able to down this Russian fantasy of a plane
Thatâs was a rumour or a lie. No confirmed gepard plane kill yet in this conflict. Gepards deployed far away from su-25s combat zone. Plus russian strike planes doesnât crossing âthe lineâ since early summer of 2022 because of manpads.
â@@PhilippSeven omg su25 when manpads scary
@@thestrain. What does a model of airplane have to do with it? No airplane in the world would be used in such a hostile airspace. U.S. planes in modern conflicts have not encountered the type of air defense systems that both sides have in Ukraine.
Phly: "What is it?!"
Russian bias
You know it's gonna be a good vid when phly starts screaming "what is this thing??"
I don't think it's only the SU-25. I think the stingers are underpowered as well IMO. Fragments literally shower an enemy aircraft "Yellow panels" like bro.
I launched 2 of the best stingers at an su25k and it only took his flaps off on both hits
I bought the SU about 3 months ago. Love it! I have taken 3 hits before and was able to land back at base to rearm. Its a fun unit to play.
Phly âwhat is this?â
Itâs not fair thatâs what it is.
The Su-25 is my nemesis.
its like that game i had with my British SARC, i was shooting a SU-122 on its sides, I saw an explosion because i hit its ammo, i set it on fire twice, but in the end i got killed by their teammate because i didnt killed it... to add salt to the wound, that TD survived the battle... so much rage that time.
In the current war, Frogfoots currently lead total confirmed fixed-wing losses for BOTH Russia and Ukraine.
Normal since they are used the most

Day 1 of asking to play the po-2
He already maked a video of that like a year ago
give OS2U love
It's 2op.
Russian engineering at it's finest....love flying the su25
This is literally the "Oh no! Anyway..." moment
i remember su-25t in dcs. it is literally flying tank but by speed, not armor
Why does the beginning give me "this is fine" meme vibes
3:34 have you seen those "cables" in Su-25? Those a metal tubes, not cables. That is how they survive.
Su25 in Ukraine meanwhile, eats 1 stinger and either catastrophically explodes, spirals into the ground, breaks in half. GG Gaijin
I've had the complete opposite experience in the SU-25, most of the time I can't make it to the combat area because a flakrad or a santal has me locked since the moment I spawned in, only a few times I've survived a missile but most of the time the ocelot's or even the stingers one shot me and I've never been able to make the unguided missiles work, most of the time I make a direct impact on tanks and that never kills them unless they are a AA or light tanks, but that really is a skill issue on my part.
For me im always playing low, focusing on killing SPAA first, shooting the rocket from afar (sometimes i got 2 SPAA kills just dumping all my s250 into their spawn)
If there is another fellow su25 you can use it as indicator of the safety of ground pounding lmao, just watching it for a moment if he is still alive or not, if not then there is danger nearby, and if he still alive you can start ground pounding with less anxious
try x2 laser guided and x6 s-25 rockets. You can snipe AA with laser ones from 5-6 km, even if they are moving then go on with rockets vs tanks. Also such payload is only 670 SP
For those who don't know much about how survivable the su-25 is (dunno much about the A-10 tho, other than the friendly fire accidents)
I did hear in a documentary about the plane's making
it was required to withstand .50 cal and shrug it off like nothing
and for engines to always work as long as the airframe is fine
so after the plane was made
it had full protection from .50 cal
and the 1 of the engines got a 20mm titanium plating (if 1 goes down fine, if 2 go down, why armor the 2nd engine)
So, why would this stop a missile, because a missile doesn't explode on the plane
it explodes near the plane, and the fragments from the explosion might very well not be that lethal to take it down
In WW2, most countries changed to 20mm cannons at minimum because armor had evolved to the point where it could stop .50's. It would make total sense, then, a plane developed in the 70's would easily shrug off .50's. However, it does not make sense to stop direct hits from missiles, which are obviously far larger and much faster than a .50 caliber bullet, not to mention the explosive agent in the warhead of the missile. That's exactly what you see in the video. The missiles are hitting directly, yet it's like the plane was strafed by a P-51 or something.
'Yeeouhnt, nnnnnnghnt, full power.'

Everyone here talking about how the A-10 suffers compared to this. I'm just sitting here wondering why the Buccaneer S2 is at 9.3 when this exists at 9.7, Britain suffers.

I grinded soviet 9.7 (T-72B, T64B, T72AV, BMP3) yesterday for a solid 6-7 hours.
I flew this in damn near most missions. There was a SINGLE instance of me taking a missile, one from an Ozelot, without immediately being so damaged that I spin out of control or just get outright kicked out of the plane.

i was literally thinking how an su25 can get hit by 30 rockets and fly back just to rearm, not even to repair meanwhile an a10 is like, someone looks at you and you blow up
It's survivability was a "bug".
It's funny how the moment sales dropped for this thing is the same time when they decided to "fix" its "bug".
Popping a ton of flares like that just makes a nice hot trail leading straight to you for the missile to follow just pop 1 or 2 an your gucci
