tihs is a great warplane, just like the A-10 but been proven high value in combat, able to resist samall and medium anti aircraft sells, one of those could resist an direct impact from a sa-7 in agfanistan, and it could return to his base.. thats probably because the missile did´n hit any vital part of the plane, but that was amazing anyway

Dear Members,

The comparison to the USAF A-10A is incorrect. A better comparison — ie if one is to be made — would be the Northrop YA-9A that lost out to the Fairchild YA-10A. But in reality the SU-25 is not a close air support aircraft like the A-10A but a ground attack aircraft. A better comparison would be a detuned version of the British/French Jaguar.

Finally, the SU-25 can take a lot of punishment. But no where near the ability of the the A-10A (the location of the SU-25 engines prevents that ability). When the SU-25 first saw combat in Afghanistan it lost a few to heat seeking missiles like the SA-7 and Stinger but this problem was solved when a sheet of armor plating was put between the two engines — ie when one engine was hit it self destructed and took out the other engine. After this modification was made there were no further losses to manportable SAMs in Afghanistan.
