I have never seen anyone pronounce Ilyushin so wrong yet so confidently.
I was wondering how many comments I'd have to scroll through to find that.
And “weapondry”. At least he didn’t say his usual “arnaments”
sounds like “michelin”
@@paulmarynissen I take a shot every time he mispronounces weaponry and armaments. It’s tough going most videos
I hear Yushilin 😆
The most interesting story that happened to the Su-25 during the Chechen war: one Su-25 flew to the airfield with ... a telegraph pole in one engine! 😮It turned out that this Su-25 was performing a combat mission at an ultra-low altitude and accidentally touched the wires between the poles, one pole was pulled out of the ground and stuck into the engine. The plane still managed to return and land on the airfield ... 😎
Wow :O
Legend.
The pilot ejecting at 10:43 also hit some wires during a combat mission in ukraine
@@glennllewellyn7369 , The fact, you can find even the photos of Su-25 in the Net with a telegraph pole in its engine, if you can search... ;-) Actually, it was a documentary film in Russian language, I do not know the photos are exist in the Net, separately...
You just can't describe what it feels like to travel at an altitude of only 10 - 15 feet, at speeds of 450 - 550 mph. Seeing garden hedges as blurs LOL, flying straight over them, skimming the branches, hahaha. That aircraft, the Buccaneer, I'll never forget, it scared the living life out of me.

Putting adequate armour on one engine instead of inadequate armour on both is actually quite brilliant
And that's why this video is sponsored by brilliant
The guy who put armor in just one engine is superior
he knew what he was doing 🧠
Actually it's just small plate covering right oil tank. Left one simply have no space for armor.
Its so powerful even game developers need to think twice to feature this frogfoot

@@bottoms_up2175They are so slow, and so poor at climbing, you should be able to easily avoid it and the A-10. This gives you time to carefully stage your attack, which should either catch him unaware from above, or utilizing terrain features to break his locks.
but 'stupid'' pilots often make it feel weak,
@@ATBatmanMALS31 when the Su-25 was 9.7 we had to endure a different type of hell in our planes with literally no countermeasures. If you get within 3km of an su-25 and it knows you exist you literally just die while not being able to do anything about it.
+ 90% of the maps in that br bracket is just flat terrain.
Calling Ilyushin "Ishulin" is the only problem with this video. 😂 Great work!
On a side note Brrrrt fans often criticise the Su-25 for its much less focus on anti-tank warfare. To be fair the Soviets didn't need to deal with overwhelming number of NATO tanks (it was the other way around), so tank hunt was not a priority.
Except Brrrt proved to be borderline useless against tanks and most kills were made with missiles or bombs. It's somewhat useful for repelling enemy infantry in close air support, but mostly due to psychological effect of a dense heavy fire. No one seems to wonder why no other plane today is built around the heavy cannon if it's so good.

Never seen it
No doubt the Soviets were also keeping a close eye on US operations in Vietnam, where we were dealing with the same issues in a shooting war.
Thanks for showing how the Soviets came up with their own solution for heavy CAS, and how parallel development works to arrive at a similar solution--noting the outward similarity to the Northrop A-9A (maybe a reason the very different A-10 was chose?)
interesting thoughts, i never saw that comparison before or thought of it myself
from what i understand it was mostly due to Fairchild Aircraft was going to go bankrupt and the government chose them to help prevent that. thats what i've heard but never really checked.
edit: wrong company
@@cwatson222 You may be thinking of Chrysler and the M1 Abrams. Some thought the GM tank was better, and the Chrysler selection was to bail the company out of bankruptcy.
@@allahsnackbar9915 I noticed the similarity when I first saw a photo of the SU-35, back in the '70s, not long after the A-X competition.
Maybe, but it was probably given to Fairchild Republic because they were struggling at that time.
“Ak-47 with wings”
Nice one Russia
I've seen videos of the Su-25 taking direct hits from anti-aircraft missiles and still flying. The first was in Ukraine while the other was recently in Congo. The Congo one is the one shown at 6:24. The video of the jet getting hit while airborne is here on CZcams.
When DNR was fighting against Ukraine 2014- 2022, it often took at least 2 manpad shots to bring one down. The first captured SU-24 came by being hit with a manpad and landing on a DNR airfield.

The Frogfoot is legendary. Knowing how the Russians stretch their equipment I'd bet it will be in service for another 50 years.
Definitely it’ll just keep getting more and more modern upgrades
It's younger than its american counterpart - A-10 that made first flight in 1972 which is still the only one type of American ground attack planes. Russian plane made first flight in 1975. And americans has more A-10s than Russians Su-25. So, Americans like to stretch their equipment, not Russians. Russians just reponse.
If.....they weren't losing so many.
Well , b52 stratofortress is commissioned since 1955 and us airforce announced an upgrade program till 2035. So and others make the same us Russians
Legendary? Legendary for what? Getting shot down? They have not held up well in the Ukraine. Both sides have used them and lost quite a few.
It’s crazy that with all our tech, this war is still being fought mainly with weapon systems that are either 70 plus years old or based on those designs.
It’s even more crazy also when you realize that some of the most expensive and advanced tech is virtually negated by relatively cheap UAVs or Manpads.
expensive versus dirt cheap. That's literally all war in a nutshell. Turn out if one side didnt rush the other in just 10 days, it's about draining eachother's economy. One side found something cheaper to fight, the other do the same, rinse and repeat, I wonder when it will reduce to bare hand fights 😂
@@conmeongoc3393 The STEN was an example of this in WW2.
@@billy56081 Performs so good in cost, mp3008 was then made too with changing the magazine placement to vertical.
What's crazy about that? How many years have people fought in wars with swords and spears that have not changed their appearance for thousands of years? And this weapon is only 50-70 years old, but it is practically the newest!
A new paradigm is coming, at least from the USA, when the next gen jets are powered by ... batteries. Or so says the US Defense Department.
Here is the same situation as with F-22 and YF-23 where the rejected prototype is much more interesting: there was also rejected prototype IL-102, shortly mentioned in the video and it would be great to see it in one of the next series. It is worth it!
Very true. Great aircraft. IMO having a rear gun turret is a great feature and IDK why more aircraft don't have them. IMO it would give you great defensive capabilities in a dog fight.
@@wilsonrawlin8547because dog fights aren't a thing anymore.
The Il-102 would be a fail. It was just dusted off an older failed project Il-42.
The Il-102 had even a rear gunner. In the 80's. And again in the 90's Why?
Overall, it was slow and could carry less weapons.
This is one of my new favorite CZcams channels and I'm so hyped to be able to see the premiere of not just a new episode but one on mt favorite jets!
The F4 and the su25 just do something to me when I see them. To me, they are two of the most beautiful birds to ever fly…. Even though most people consider both of those aircraft to be “ugly”.
The F4 Is the Cutest!
They look pretty much like military flying war machines as one could imagine, rugged, robust and simply emit an intimidating aura to enemies and allies alike. They don't try to look sleek and cool like F35 or SU57, the 'boyband' of aircraft

You see how rough with both gun & rocket damage some of the Su-25s are looking like in Ukraine but still flying good. They’re really taking damage without seemingly many negative effects.

The SU 25 has seen a ton of combat, possibly more than any other modern jet aircraft. These things have been able to shrug off AAA and SAM hits many times from Afghanistan right up to the present Ukraine/Russian war.
You can tell by looking at the numbers in Ukraine. They seem to have been handing out and receiving some serious beatings from both sides. Ukraine has no Su25's left by now though.

Well, considering the Rook - I once heard a few things about it's durability from an actual operator. Knew a man, who piloted Su-25 during first Chechen War.

I wouldn’t call it invincible but this plane has proved it’s worth. Currently as of the time of this comment, Su-25’s and Ka-52 alligators are wreaking havoc on Ukrainian armored Calvary dashes across clear terrain. Clips of Ka-52 alligators stalking Bradley’s and Leopards have popped up all across the internet. It’s scary how these two metal birds can cause so much devastation. Marvelous works of engineering.

@@SmashedGlassiterally any aircraft is almost certainly doomed once hit by an air to air missile no matter the size of the missile. Stop dick-sucking western aircraft and face reality.
Here is an interesting aircraft idea: the Junkers Ju 187. It has a swinging tail for better view when using the rear RC Turret.
Thanks for a well produced Doco on yet another great Russian plane mate. Keep up the good work.
Great vid! Hoping to see one on the Yak-43 or Yak-201!
Russia got Su-25 for low intensity warfare or more permissive skies and Su-34 for heavy fighting and less permissive thanks to its massive ECM suite located in its tail
Su-25 can operate in medium to heavy fights as well but using adapted tactics
I saw a radio controlled one at a show years ago and was very surprised as I'd only seen a couple of very grainy photos of one at the time. It turned out that the man who had built it had as well!
No BS pure admiration of the aircraft loved it👍🏻
I really appreciate video about IL-102. It looks like turbojet Sturmovik, nice!
Quick correction - the Su-7 was designed as a fighter, but unlike the MiG-17 and MiG-21, the Su-7B was a dedicated fighter-bomber - it's as much a strike aircraft as the F-105.
The " unbreakable" Frogfoot! This unique plane can withstand extreme punishment and can still fly and land safely with hundreds of bullet rounds puncturing it's body!!!

amazing video that shines light one one of my favorite aircraft of all time.
maybe next you could do the su 27 next? as you are diving into soviet tech.
"the promising upgrade of SU39" never came to life only as it is. While in reality the concept was developed further into SU34 "Утёнок" (duckling), twin seat HEAVY air support beast. What do i mean by "heavy"? Well it's main purpose is CAS and Anti Tank/Anti Position bombing. Would be cool to see a video about it, and you wouldn't really lack footage of them as they were deployed in Syria and ukraine
Amazing content...but that title though, think theres quite some footage of it getting shot down by dudes hiding in bushes these days with a missile like 0.25% the cost of the jet.
The MANPADS are quite effective at getting a hit and causing damage. I'm not sure what the hit rate is for various models of MANPADS nor what the kill ratio is. A hit would certainly be a mission kill. Either way these aircraft are reduced to low flying to avoid SHORAD and SAMS whereby they become vulnerable to MANPADS. Therefore the munitions have to be released at a stand of distance. They seem to be just used as mobile artillery firing at targets from low altitude and at a distance. A modern drone with precision munitions or precision artillery can do a better safer job. The western philosophy was just to go in low and fast and fire something like autonomous homing Brimstone at a stand of distance.
Su-25 are made for CAS, not any other missions that the Soviet-wannabes are having them do right now.
It's no surprise they got shot down. Same as sending only A-10s to a heavy SAM warzone and expect them to clean ground opposition alive. No way either A-10 nor Su-25 can survive that unsupported.
He said bulletproof. Not missile proof.
@@TheRibbonRed I would argue that even CAS is a risky role given front line troops will have MANPADS.
@@williamzk9083 CAS meant that you have ground units or other combined arms helping too, probably pinning said MANPADS until you can blow it along with the rest of the targets.
It's always a risky role, but these planes not being in CAS is a life-retirement.
7:25, nothing unusual about a jet engine running on Diesel, all jet turbine engines can run on any type of combustable liquid, run them on Cognac if you want it's just that they are more efficient and less maintenance is required when run on refined Kerosene (Jet-A1 or similar).

The Northrop A-9 is like Su-25 cousin. ^_^ This aircraft have the same disadvantage as the YA-9, the air intake are close to the ground and have high risk of ingesting foreign objects when the aircraft must use normal highway as runway.
Some planes are made to tank high caliber bullets, meanwhile Su 25 was made to tank missiles lol.
My first plane in DCS, with its Shkval TV targeting system.
But as the A-10, I think it is mostly obsolete today, with all the different manpads available.
The explosive payload of manpad is about the size of a grenade. While not invincible, A 10s and Su 25s designed to take a hit stand a very good chance of surviving manpads.
@@robincray116 I agree, but now we see some more advanced manpads like russian 9K333 verba which has a 1,5kg warhead for exemple.
The problem is that it would be an immense risk for A-10 pilots to take. Even if just one engine is hit and the plane can go back safely to its base, it would certainly take weeks to repair (I'm talking about in a foreign environment like Ukraine).

Russia now has the Su-34 Fullback, supersonic Bomber; which is good at going both fast OR slow with even more advanced weapon systems. While the Froggy may remain an icon, it's time has probably passed. Do you guys have a video on the Su-34 perhaps?
Нет, это не так. СУ-25 по функциям близок к ударному вертолёту. Только имеет большую скорость. А СУ-34 - по своим задачам аналогичен F-15
При всем уважении, но Су-34 и Су-25 самолёты разного класса.
В России постоянно говорят о возобновлении программы ПАК ША. Эта программа разработки перспективного штурмовика, но с учётом нынешних событий, скорее всего ресурсы направят на другие программы.
Скорее всего, в будущем штурмовики исчезнут из состава ВКС РФ. Задачи указанных машин будут распределены между фронтовой авиацией (Су-34) и армейской авиацией (Ка-52, Ми-28).
Даже сейчас в Украине, Су-25 работают в основном неуправляемым оружием.
Hmmm.. seen any Fullbacks over the frontline lately? There's a reason, it's called failure.
@@SmashedGlassна поле боя, которое насыщено системами ПВО, ни один самолёт не сможет действовать за линией фронта. В то же время, российская армия поражает украинские объекты по всей территории Украины.
только если Су-34 может применять управляемое оружие, в том числе перспективное, то у Су-25 такая возможность отсутствует.
So, basically, none of your shit can operate in the environment it was designed for. And next time reply in English, Orc.
Good Video. The A-10 Is More Like The Frogfoot's Rival Or Counterpart Than It's Brother, Thank You.
They're both CAS but I'll say that the SU-25 is more survivable than the A-10
@@PyroFTB Many reasons why that’s not the case
@@JohnMaxGriffin go ahead
@@PyroFTB higher SA in the A-10 due to the better cockpit visibility, vastly better RWR and datalink, TGP that doesn’t require the aircraft to be flying towards the target.
Engine position is better for maintenance, FOD, and obscuration from ground fire.
A-10 is much more maneuverable with the straight wing and lower wing loading, which benefits it more while evading SAMs and AAA than the Su-25’s top speed benefits the Su-25.
And the armor around the cockpit on the A-10 is actually thicker than the Su-25’s at 40mm of titanium rather than 25mm
They are built using quite different concepts: A-10 were expected to evade heavy damage by applying design choices like high-placed hidden behind tail engines with 'colder'(because of high bypass ratio) exhaust so manpads will have hard time to get proper target lock, while SU-25 were built to handle as much damage as possible(in comparison to A-10 it is actually capable to fly with single engine left).
I read the title and a compilation of all the destroyed Ukrainian and Russian Su-25s played in my head lol
What we have to understand, is that the ground attack aircraft as a concept is done. The strike fighters are doing the same job but with less drawbacks, the F-15E and Su-34 are prime examples.
@ThyPeasantSlayer That's not important though, neither with the A-10, nor with the Su-25.
It's much better to not get hit at all. Higher altitude, higher speed and more sophisticated countermeasures make that easier.
The su 34 is garbage.. all Russian craft are garbage
I agree
The concept of strike aircraft is going to end up being scrapped like the concept of tank destroyers
The concept will not die but rather evolve.
@@perfectcell1157 That means you disagree
There is also a great song about these planes in Chechen Wars called "The rooks have arrived" ("Грачи Прилетели")
I love this plane with it's wings full of rocket pods. 😁
Mate, can you discuss the Saab Gripen in one of your future videos? Thanks a lot in advance.
The budget friendliest of the three Eurocanards
Could we get a video on the VX-23 testing of the X-35 and the F-35B??
They saw an a-10 and said yes, lets build a better version of that.
The A-10??? Known for not working a bit? 😂
Everybody knows Russia has the best military equipment world wide.
The Abrams even break down on the military parade amd the turrets jump of after grenades , pathetic 😂
Real nice vídeo ! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
What is so difficult about Ilyushin? It is Il-YU-shin, not Ishelin...I was listening only and wondered "Who is he talking about"?
Ignorance it is. 😓😓😓
Weak with the spelling force is he. Not English does he well.
30 documented losses of the SU25 over Ukraine. How many more have gone down in Russian occupied territory is anyone's guess.
I love the SU-25... much like I love other Russian planes. They look cool. Its no A-10 not even close.
Took me some time to figure out what "Ishyulin" was .... 😂
great production value.
Ummm, let me guess... Sponsored by War Thunder?
Love it. My favourite. I built a model of it, and had the flight sim of it.
Wow, I find this military airplane to be very cool!
They dropping like flies😂
I wonder how much influence the YA-9 had on this plane, they look very similar.
It was a massive inspiration to the frogger
How about covering the XF-103? It looks like the sort of aircraft this channel would cover.
Someone’s probably already mentioned this but the Su-25 (I believe) has a song titled “the rooks have arrived”
One of the better planes around the world that has entered service.
Easily fits in one of the top 10 military planes.
Love your vids, you do really good narration ~ but Ilyushin is pronounced as it is spelled: IL-YU-SHIN... not IH-SHU-LIN 🤓👍
This plane deserves its onw movie! What a story
The best part was when it barely began to fly - Afghan war (1979-1989). I have read memoirs of soviet pilots when searched info about this plane.
Thanks a lot for the very interesting video! Nice work! 👍 I have one comment, please work of your pronunciation of constructor/plane names. I few times I had a problem to understand about witch constructer/plane you were talking about. ✌
man I've played with the frogfoot on battlefield 4 and I always get shot down super fast.
try real one, there is a difference
I like how you murder every Russian word in your videos 😂😂
It is an impressive machine, for sure.
Learned about the su25 recently because of war thunder and thought it was cool, just now figured out it’s called the frog foot and remember flying this thing all the time in battlefield
Great video as always
But its is pronounced IL- LYOO- SHIN not Ishulyin
Also SU- KHOI not Sahoy
Keep up the great work!
He's Aussie, what do you expect?
they are being taken down easily by a single hit from MANPADs
I love when you say "Ishulyin" instead of "Ilyushin"🤣🤣
the videos are cool. May I ask how you create surface objects in this video
Probably my second favorite plane after GOAT. Would love to own one as a civ. As always, excellent video.
GOAT?
@@DefinitelyNotEmma GOAT goes BBRRRRRRTTTT
@@aaatechrescue Oh, the friendly fire machine
@@DefinitelyNotEmma yeah lmao
@@aaatechrescue the A-10?
As a French
I salute and respect Soviet and Russian engineering. With far less budget than the US, they always fight their way through and manage to deliver amazing products that can stand up to their rival.
I can’t imagine what they would have build with the US military budget.
Greetings from France
🇫🇷 🇷🇺
ayant un budget militaire comme les États-Unis, les Russes construiraient simplement davantage de ce qu'ils construisent avec leur budget militaire))) C'est la pensée militaire russe. Ils ont besoin d’outils simples, fiables, efficaces et peu coûteux. Et idéalement, en quantité illimitée))))
Can you please cover the flanker series of jets or the Mig 35
Which app do you use for animation ?
I was scratching my head trying to remember what the heck "Ichelin" was, even tried to google it.
Took me until the name was on the screen that I realised you were talking about Ilyushin (il-you-shin, for future reference). I don't brain so good...
He doesn't either, obviously. So, don't worry! 🤷🏼😬🤫
