The Russian Aerospace Forces in one section of the combat line of contact launched attacks from Su-25 attack aircraft at point-blank range, rather than from a cabriole. This tactic is very rare for the modern battlefield, noted the Telegram channel "Military Informant."
This indicates problems with the enemy's air defense systems in this particular area, and therefore a reduced danger for the attack aircraft pilots. The reason for the ineffective launches of unguided aircraft rockets from a cabriole lies precisely in countering enemy SAMs and MANPADS.
Su-25 (NATO codification - Frogfoot) is an armored all-weather subsonic turbojet attack aircraft. It is designed to destroy low-speed air targets and ground objects, as well as support ground forces over the battlefield.
The aircraft can carry gun pods with twin-barreled 23 mm cannons, aerial bombs, unguided rockets, and guided air-to-air or air-to-surface missiles on 10 hardpoints, as well as a twin-barreled 30 mm cannon.
