Battle of stormtroopers. Su-25 vs A-10 Thunderbolt II

226

None of the recent local conflicts have gone without using aviation. The most frequently encountered aircraft over the battlefield for many years were attack aircraft. Lately they've been giving way to shock drones and kamikaze drones, but are still used quite actively. The two most famous attack aircraft of our time are the Russian Su-25, which has the nicknames "Rook" and "Comb", and the American A-10 Thunderbolt II, known as the "Warthog". Let's try to figure out what advantages and disadvantages are inherent in these combat aircraft.

Peer stormtroopers


Both aircraft are designed to provide direct fire support to troops on the battlefield. Work on them was carried out at about the same time. The American attack aircraft Fairchild-Republic A-10 Thunderbolt II, named after the successful WWII fighter-bomber P-47 Thunderbolt, was developed in the 1970s and was officially adopted in 1976. Serial production of machines continued until 1984, during which time 716 aircraft were assembled in the United States.



The main purpose of the A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft is to combat enemy armored vehicles. The aircraft was created at a time when the United States and American NATO allies were seriously preparing to confront the threat from the armies of the Warsaw Pact countries in Europe, first of all preparing to fight numerous tank and motorized infantry units. The attack aircraft had to stop thousands of Soviet tanks on the way to the English Channel not only with missiles, but also with cannons. But more on that later.

The Soviet Su-25 attack aircraft began to be developed at the Sukhoi Design Bureau already in 1968. In 1970-71, it was the preliminary design of the Sukhoi attack aircraft that won the competition to create a new attack aircraft, beating representatives of the OKB Yakovlev, Mikoyan and Ilyushin. The draft design and model of the aircraft were ready in September 1972. The first flight took place on February 22, 1975. The overseas competitor had already flown for three years by that time, for the first time the A-10 took to the skies on May 10, 1972. State tests of the Su-25 attack aircraft were completed in December 1980, serial production of the aircraft began a year earlier at a plant in Tbilisi. The first serial attack aircraft entered the troops in April 1981, while the official adoption of the Su-25 took place only on March 31, 1987, that is, after six years of operation and active use in hostilities in Afghanistan.

The main purpose of the Su-25 attack aircraft, like its American counterpart, was the direct support of ground forces on the battlefield, including the destruction of objects with given coordinates. At the same time, the aircraft was designed for operations in a big war. It was assumed that the Su-25 would be able to conduct an offensive together with the army, regardless of airfields. It was this fact that determined the fact that the attack aircraft can also be used from unpaved runways.

Aircraft survivability and booking


Both attack aircraft are subsonic armored warplanes for direct support of troops on the battlefield. The very concept of using combat vehicles assumed their use from low altitudes and at subsonic speeds. Before the appearance of the Su-25, the USSR counted on high-speed fighter-bombers: Su-17, Su-22, MiG-23BN. These machines had one engine and did not carry armor, their means of protection was high flight speed. However, the fighting in Afghanistan confirmed that such vehicles are very vulnerable to fire from the ground when performing combat missions at low altitude. The Su-25 was devoid of these shortcomings, it received a serious reservation and a power plant from two engines.

Both attack aircraft have titanium armor that protects the pilot, control system elements, and the fuel system, and the Russian attack aircraft also has armored plates from the motorcycle compartment that separate the engines. On the Su-25, the thickness of titanium armor ranges from 10 to 24 mm, on the American A-10 from 13 to 38 mm. In general, the weight of armor on aircraft is about the same. The American A-10 attack aircraft has 540 kg of titanium aviation armor, while the Su-25 has 595 kg of armor protection. The total mass of combat survivability equipment is estimated for the Su-25 at 1050 kg, and for the American aircraft at 1310 kg.


Su-25 attack aircraft

The cockpit bulletproof glass protects the pilots of the two attack aircraft from small arms fire. weapons... It is known that in the Su-25 attack aircraft, the pilot is almost completely protected from the shelling of any barrel weapon with a caliber of 12,7 mm, and from the most dangerous directions - with a caliber of up to 30 mm. In the American attack aircraft, the pilot is declared protected from shelling by various ammunition of caliber up to 23 mm inclusive, while individual elements of the attack aircraft are protected from 57-mm anti-aircraft shells. When creating the aircraft, special attention was paid to the shelling from the 23-mm Soviet anti-aircraft guns, which formed the basis of small-caliber anti-aircraft artillery in many countries of the world.
Installation of two engines on aircraft increases their combat survivability, since the aircraft are able to continue flying on one engine.

While the engines in the Su-25 attack aircraft are covered with a hull and protected from ground fire by armor, the A-10 Thunderbolt II engines are placed behind the fuselage and there is only air between them. The two widely spaced engines on the American attack aircraft are positioned high on either side in the rear fuselage of the aircraft. From most angles, when fired from the ground, they are shielded by aircraft structural elements. From the front and rear hemispheres, they are covered by wing consoles, or by the tail unit of the attack aircraft. Both the one and the other scheme proved to be quite viable in combat operating conditions. Both vehicles are distinguished by increased survivability and returned to airfields after the loss of one of the engines.

The features of the American attack aircraft, aimed at increasing survivability, also include the two-fin tail of the vehicle. The choice of such a scheme was carried out as a result of studies of the combat survivability of the control system. Tests have shown that such a scheme allows serious damage on one side of the fuselage, without significant damage to the aircraft, and most importantly, without loss of control. The Su-25 has a classic single-fin tail unit.

Flight technical characteristics of attack aircraft


In terms of speed and maneuverability, the Russian Su-25 wins by a strong margin. The maximum flight speed of the Rook is 950 km / h, cruising speed is 750 km / h. The maximum flight speed of the "Warthog" is noticeably lower - up to 720 km / h, and the cruising flight speed is only 560 km / h. At the same time, the engines on the A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft are significantly more economical than on the Su-25; they provide the vehicle with a larger combat radius and a ferry range of 4150 km. The ferry range of the Su-25 with four PTB-800 suspended tanks (with drop) is limited to 1850 km.


Also, the Russian attack aircraft loses to its American counterpart in the practical flight ceiling, which is limited to 7 km. The American attack aircraft is able to climb to a height of 13 meters. Both aircraft have practically the same thrust-to-weight ratio at normal take-off weight, but the Su-380 wins here by a small margin. At the same time, the maximum take-off weight of the A-25 is noticeably higher - 10 kg, against 22 kg for the Su-700 (according to the Sukhoi company). It is not surprising that the Su-19 noticeably outperforms its competitor in terms of climb rate - 300 m / s versus 25 m / s for the A-25.

If we talk about the possibility of using outside concrete airfields, then the Su-25 has advantages, which can take off from unpaved strips. At the same time, the take-off run of two aircraft with maximum load does not differ much. 1050 meters for the Su-25 versus 1150 meters for the A-10. Both aircraft were designed to operate in a full-scale war. Therefore, we got a fairly strong chassis and large straight wings, which allow you to take off even from short, uneven stripes. The Americans built the plane with the expectation that it could take off from unfinished or damaged airfields, taxiways, and straight sections of highways. Incidentally, this is another explanation for the location of the two engines on top of the fuselage. This solution was chosen by the designers to reduce the risk of engine damage by foreign objects during takeoff from unprepared or damaged runways.

According to test pilot and Hero of Russia Magomed Tolboev, who flew both aircraft, the Su-25 is a more maneuverable attack aircraft, capable of performing complex aerobatics, while the A-10 has limited roll and pitch angles. "The Su-25 can fit into the canyon, but the A-10 cannot," Magomed Tolboyev noted in an interview with Russian media.

Weapon capabilities


A-10 Thunderbolt II is an attack aircraft designed primarily to fight enemy armored vehicles, including tanks. Its main armament is not rockets and bombs, but a unique seven-barreled 30-mm artillery mount GAU-8 Avenger, around which the aircraft fuselage is literally built. The ammunition capacity of the gun is impressive and amounts to 1350 rounds of 30 × 173 mm. Among the nomenclature of ammunition there are sub-caliber ones, including those with a uranium core. This gun can easily deal with any enemy infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers. But the tanks will not be good either, given that sub-caliber ammunition penetrates 1000 mm of armor from a distance of 38 meters at a meeting angle of 30 degrees. At the same time, the gun is also distinguished by high accuracy. From a distance of 1220 meters, 80 percent of the shells fired in a volley fall into a circle with a diameter of 12,4 meters. The artillery armament of the Su-25 is much more modest and is represented by the GSh-30-30 double-barreled 2-mm automatic cannon with an ammunition capacity of 250 rounds.


The main armament of the A-10 is a GAU-8 Avenger cannon against the background of a Volkswagen Beetle passenger car

Both aircraft have approximately the same number of suspension points. "Warthog" - 11, Su-25 - 10. At the same time, in such an important parameter as the combat load, the American attack aircraft surpasses the domestic aircraft almost twice. For the A-10, the maximum combat load is 7260 kg, for the Su-25 - 4400 kg. And this is without the ammunition load of the 7-barreled aircraft cannon, which weighs about a ton. The artillery ammunition load of the Su-25 is noticeably lighter - 340 kg.

Separately, we can note the range of used ammunition. "Warthog" is intended mainly for the use of high-precision weapons, including smart aerial bombs JDAM, which are able to engage and actively maneuver targets. But the main weapon of the American attack aircraft, in addition to the cannon, is, of course, the famous AGM-65 Maverick air-to-surface missiles with an electro-optical targeting system. The missile can hit well-armored and moving targets even in urban areas. In this case, the principle of "fire and forget" is implemented. After the missile seeker is fixed on the target, its flight no longer depends on the position and movement of the attack aircraft itself.

The Russian Rook is also capable of using a wide range of weapons, including smart ammunition. But the main work is carried out by free-fall and corrected bombs and unguided rockets. At the same time, during the modernization, for example, on the Su-25SM3 model, the ability to hit targets with conventional free-fall bombs was significantly increased due to the installation of the SVP-24-25 Hephaestus sighting and navigation system. This complex makes it possible to bring the accuracy of strikes with unguided aircraft weapons to guided weapons. True, this is only true for stationary purposes.

The second feature of the Su-25 is the use of air-to-surface guided missiles with a laser targeting system. After capturing the target and launching the missile, the pilot must hold the target until it is hit. In this case, the laser rangefinder-target designator is located in front of the attack aircraft. The pilot must keep the plane on the course, highlighting the target until it is hit, which in the face of enemy air defense counteraction is associated with significant risk.

              Well, here, most likely, for the Su-25 it was the first real test by fire ... then immediately after the GSE he was sent on a "business trip" for the "river" (past Lipetsk), so there are no methods for using the ASP on it for the "air force" ovsky "was not ... only according to the results of AB tests.
              Well, who tried what they knew before, because before that everyone had already flown somewhere and on something.
              So A. Koshkin could well have been the "founder" of the method of using ASP "from under the SABs" ..., that is. tactical technique specifically for the Su-25 wink

        Overheating occurs after a two-second burst, at the maximum rate of fire. No one bothers the pilot to shoot in two second bursts, or reduce the rate of fire by half, if necessary.

        In addition, a minute to cool down is just until the attack aircraft turns around for the second run.
        And overheating is not a diagnosis yet, you can shoot further, if necessary - just dispersion and accuracy suffer. There is a full video on the network, where the pilots beat much longer than 2 seconds.

          I've seen a-10 work on video.
          one target that needs to be approached in a minute rarely happens, usually he attacks a group of targets, some of which he can fire with a cannon, but in reality he is forced to shoot only one or two.
          By the way, don't think that the A-10 needs a long queue.
          half-second is enough for exercises.
          I personally think that the a-10 is an attack aircraft for the rich, and the su-25 is for the poor (nourishes, laser guidance, unguided bombs, cheaper shells, low requirements for the airfield). And objectively a-10 is better, but its operation is much more expensive and necessarily requires air superiority in the area of ​​application.

        Rutskoi's memoirs about work on the Su-25 in Afghanistan are interesting. He asked to install the NAR package rotated 180 degrees. This made it possible to reduce the time spent under fire by the dushmans. I shot them after passing over the target with pitching. Otherwise, I had to make two runs.

      I did not notice such a thing from the combat videos of work in Afghanistan. Can you tell me the size of the queue?

      The article is scanty, without a conclusion. And the topic is so hackneyed that it reduces the cheekbones. Both are excellent planes. Somewhere one is better, somewhere else. But what exactly is that Rook will survive the A-10. At least no one in Russia is going to write off attack aircraft.

          Thanks, but there is no source for this information either. The same is indicated on the Russian wiki and on airvar. That's just in English-language sources everywhere they write that the queue length is not limited by anything. A 2 second volley is needed only to save the resource of the trunks. That is, if necessary, there are no special obstacles to increasing the queue. But I do not insist and I admit that I am mistaken.

            there are a lot of reasons to limit the queue.
            for example, the cumulative impulse seriously decelerates an aircraft near the ground.
            it is not worth describing how dangerous it is. Vibration during burst fire is also sensitive.
            exhaust fumes and particles at high density can damage engine performance.

              They write that the a-10 without any special consequences can release all the ammunition without any problems. The cannon creates energy when firing equal to half the thrust of the engines, that is, the story about the fact that an attack aircraft can stop and fly back is stupidity. Propellant gases were indeed a problem, but afterburners and scheduled cleaning of the blades after a certain shot were introduced. I just would like to see where the information about the minute interval for cooling came from, while only on Russian sites they write about it.

                  There is such a thing. In the flight manual, it is forbidden to fire a cannon with one engine running. In this case, even 2 seconds is enough to go into a stall.

                      The Su-25 is much younger than the A-10, so this gun was abandoned on it. Approximately the same age as the A-10, another attack aircraft is the MiG-27, on which there is a very similar to the American 30mm cannon. With the same problems.

        Well, I already wrote about the MiG-27 - it's easy to be smart, having before your eyes both someone else's and your negative experience. But in fairness - if the Su-25 needs to throw 4 FAB-250, then the A-10 will throw one modernized Mk.82 with homing. And one and a half tons of ballast is not a hindrance to him. The flight range of the Su-25 is much shorter, our attack aircraft work from the "watch on the ground" position, and the opponents - "watch in the air", well, the engines - the Su-25 has a modernized single-circuit from the mid-50s, on the A-10 double-circuit , with a good resource. This does not mean that the Su-25 is bad, but that the A-10 is not bad at all.

      hi how about the fact that there are no bombers in the NATO power? just like a species. Moreover, this zrada is a total taboo for "free patriots". that 160 or b52 they are comparing and there are no bombers so it's taboo. mig29 and f16 are both drummers but which bombers are there? several to f15? so su27 is also a drummer) a glider on a bomber from a fighter is already a fiasco, and all that.

      Look closely, they are the same. Round wheels, two fenders, only the motors are different. In addition to the fact that the American's wheels are made of real rubber, and the Soviet ones are made of galoshes, even the corrugation is the same as that of galoshes and in places you can see pieces of red, which clearly proves that it flies on galoshes.

          As far as I remember, the military did not particularly like the A-10 at first, then it seemed like nothing, showed good efficiency and survivability. A couple of years ago, they wanted to completely abandon them. Somehow it does not pull on a superplane, the Americans would be promoting it to the fullest. Well, like the F-35.
          In terms of appearance, the A-10 is so simple that such an aircraft (purely outwardly, we do not say weapons and electronics) could have been made somewhere in the late 40s, which cannot be said about the SU-25. I personally like drying more if we proceed from the appearance. Just like the Panther is more pleasant than the Tiger, and the T-34-85 is more popular than the Panther. No comparison of characteristics. How can a warthog be beautiful? )))
          And if you compare the combat capabilities, then calling the Su-25 sludge compared to the A-10 is very bold, but unprofessional. It would suck, in the USSR they would have snapped something else in its place. A decent plane that will be in service for a long time.
          PS In order not to be gullible, a quote from The National Interest:
          "Each of the aircraft has its own advantages. The A-10 is focused on the use of a powerful cannon and electro-optical missiles, and the Su-25 is focused on precision bombing with conventional ammunition and the use of missiles and laser-guided weapons."
          The Americans don't think the Su-25 sucks. Well, where are they to our "experts", right? )))))

              Well, what is a warthog and a rook talking about ??.
              Wart uses missiles that do not require target designation until the moment they hit, they were not designed for the Rook (the rook is to blame?).
              use the rook warthog nomenclature, it is still unknown who would have more losses.

          And you probably pedal on your clunkers and also your smarts? Yes? Oh yes, you want to build the first nuclear power plant, and then with someone else's technology. Well, catch up with them 10. Or maybe you have a nuclear club lying around? No? Sad, sad. Well, now it starts, Russian oligarchs have divided the country! Okay, at least we have ours, and you? 60% of your country's assets are already under someone else's oligarchy. You have not made independent decisions for a long time, do not even try to pretend to be independence. Your capital is one big incubator of someone else's business. Is there even a place to live there? Well, no matter how hard you try, I'll tell you about the garlic, you most likely will not reach the level of the 80s of your own rise.

I can give you hundreds of examples where our country is utterly superior and better than others (ranging from normal heating in every apartment, to the speed of home and public Internet, which is orders of magnitude higher and cheaper than abroad), but I will not.
            The purpose of my critical comments is to remove the blinkers of hurray-patriotism from the eyes of comrades who are especially stubborn on this topic. And on the topic of the article, I repeat once again, our 25th against the background of their wartlog is a dull suck, you can compare any characteristics: range, load, quantity and composition of weapons (here you just need to imagine how it is to keep the target under fire from the ground) the flight time of the launched rocket and piloting at the same time, in WWII it was easier to work on the front edge on the IL-2), I'm generally silent about avionics. Actually, a comparison of losses during combat use explains everything perfectly. The very course of the design idea, where the engines were covered with planes from fire from the ground and duplicated the vertical tail, says a lot ...

Then you can consider the commentary on Poland to be zeroed, it has nothing to do with you. And at the expense of the Su-25, I disagree with you, and the warthog and the rook have their advantages and disadvantages. Depending on the place and conditions of use. So your arrogant criticism is biased.

Well, I sat down in a puddle and God bless her, this is my puncture, rejoice. This is not my time and not my books. I also did not read "Kings and Cabbage" and put "The Thorns Singers" in waste paper and bypassed a lot of other things that were popular and interesting in your time. I do not smoke, I have nothing to do with gopota. I put Avka because I like owls and it looks not standard for the image of a bird. I read a lot of books, they just don't fit into your time and it's hard for you to understand. Whether you read "The Wasp Factory" or "All About Life" but Hemingway was most likely swallowed in one gulp like me. Permyak commands respect from your age. So don't judge strictly. We are from different eras. And at the expense of aircraft in arms I will not argue, here I agree with a clear advantage. But in terms of speed, maneuverability and price of the issue, this can be debated. For example, a warthog doesn't eat diesel, but a rook does. The beard cannot perform difficult aerobatics. And he loses the cruising speed. Ascent speed is the same. The rook is still more protected than the beard. And the Afghan has proven this in practice. The rook has a welded capsule, and the beard has bolted parts. And the engines are less protected. Yes, the beard has a lethal cannon, well, that's how it was made to destroy tank columns. A rook for battlefield support, the concepts are different. Therefore, spread rot against a decent car is not worth it for the sake of weapon calibers, as I understand they are closer to your heart in view of your specialty. You, in spite of your alleged education, avoid objective evaluations and arrogance unnecessarily. Well, that's your right. And I think the su 25 is a worthy machine of its time, and now it serves faithfully. It's like with tanks in World War II, but the tigers were cooler, but the final point was set by t34, the price of the issue hi you can continue to "laugh" with your wife. And I will go to a game of chess with mine.

He can find the lurking dude with the Needle no better than the pilot of the Su-15. But to dump from the rocket, taking into account the available A-10 accelerations and overloads, there is no chance, from the word in general. Well, to carry a heavy cannon is also "brilliant")))

The A-10 uses GPS-guided bombs - and the Americans are happy with everything, no more is needed to fight the jihadists. Or are you planning to use the Su-25 in Europe against troops covered by strong air defense - this was considered a mistake in Soviet times.

From which platform to launch there is no difference and the carrying capacity plays a small role. Moreover, armor, a powerful cannon, are simply atavisms.

      On the ground, the A-10 significantly surpasses the Su-25 due to the AGM-65 "Mayverik" missiles with the "fire and forget" function. The launch range of the Maiveriks allows the A-10 not to enter the zone of action of the close military air defense (ZAK and MANPADS). In one run, the A-10 can attack 6 different targets with 6 "Mayverics". The Su-25 cannot do that, because you need to illuminate the target with a laser in front of you.

    during this "battle of stormtroopers" it is absolutely imperceptible that Thunderbolt 2 was developed by specialists of the Republican company, after it was bought by Firechald. The chief designer of Republic until 1962, Alexander Kartvelli, was an emigrant of the first wave. Since the Korean War, our MiGs met him with thunderjets, then in Vietnam - with thunderbirds. Later, Kartvelli took part in the development of the a-10. Will machines developed in the USSR / RF meet again with machines developed by compatriot emigrants? Who knows?..

          A-10 is not flexible or what? It seems that for almost half a century of operation it has shown itself. Nothing remained of the initial concept of application, their peers - the F-16s of the first series have long been decommissioned, and the Air Force needs Thunderbolts and they are still needed! In terms of the range of weapons used, the A-10 outperforms the Su-25 in all respects (unfortunately for us). And yes - it is better to work with guided weapons according to the "spirits" - and the plane will be more intact (nobody canceled MANPADS from the barmaleev, and S8KO does not cancel them), and there are less chances for civilians to catch them. Moreover, GPS-guided bombs are minimal. This is not me saying that the Su-25 is bad - no, the Su-25 is an excellent aircraft, but belittling good enemy equipment out of ignorance or false patriotism may turn out to be more expensive.

            Well, in the first place, no one belittles ... (and no one canceled the economy) - that is why the Americans keep A 10. (there is no point in developing a new car). A 10 aircraft built around a cannon for which there are no adequate targets in modern conditions. Hellfires versus barmaley is certainly convenient - but also expensive. The nomenclature of unguided weapons on the A 10 is much narrower. (By the way, the Rook, in general, is not a T8 product for a long time) but it costs much cheaper.

                  "I don't know who wrote to you that the UPK was created for Yakov, but it is not so ..." - there was an article about the Yak-38, in the magazine "Aviation and Astronautics", there everything was written about the UPK-23-250. He flew with such settings. Already at the end of its career, another VSPU-38 cannon container, ventral, was created for the Yak-36, but it did not become widespread. The fact that the UPK-23-250 is universal does not negate the fact that it was created primarily for the Yak-38, and at the same time for all others, since the suspension assemblies are unified.

              The cannon in the container is mounted on a harness. There is a backlash in any suspension. The impact on a relatively light container is large. Suspended components of the suspension and the aircraft also stagger. Shooting accuracy is much lower. Suspended units of the aircraft for the cannon are special. That is, an outboard gun is always extra weight on an airplane. Although small. And you can't put a lot of shells in a container.

          For a "show" you can always find a couple ... we are talking about reality. They have no plaque. More or less, they began to fly only after the start of the war ... and then they quickly stopped - the planes ran out. Well, and "vulnerability" - modern air defense is not a toy.

            It is clear that the attack aircraft is a specific weapon
            And so you're right, it's bad with aviation in Ukraine
            On the other hand, it makes no sense for them to develop it, all the same, the Russian one will be much stronger
            I think the logical move for Ukraine is drones
            Although modern ones do not completely replace aircraft, there is a range of tasks in which they will be stronger.

        It depends on many factors. But the Su-25 has a great chance of returning to the airfield on one engine (which has been confirmed many times in practice). The Su-1's survivability system is very well thought out: an armored cabin, local armoring of engine nacelles, tanks with filler, a firewall between the engines. reinforced traction.

    The maximum flight speed of the Rook is 950 km / h, cruising speed is 750 km / h. The maximum flight speed of the "Warthog" is noticeably lower - up to 720 km / h, and the cruising flight speed is only 560 km / h.


    For an attack aircraft, high speed is not an advantage, but a disadvantage. The American's flight range is twice as long, and the cruising speed is one and a half less, i.e. the time that he hangs over his army is three times higher. At low speed, the pilot has a better view of the battlefield.

    Just recently watching a film, Australia filmed an Australian infantry company being ambushed by a Viet Cong. The commander on the radio yells: Send assault helicopters to our aid. He, they say, has no combat-ready helicopters now, we will ask the Americans for help. The Americans say: we can distinguish two "Phantoms". Two Phantoms flew in, the pilots say: we can't see anything from above. They are told: drop bombs at the intersection. They dropped their bombs into an empty space and flew away.

    In the end, the Americans correctly took into account the Vietnamese experience.

    But the tanks will not be good either, given that sub-caliber ammunition penetrates 1000 mm of armor from a distance of 38 meters at a meeting angle of 30 degrees. At the same time, the gun is also distinguished by high accuracy. From a distance of 1220 meters, 80 percent of the shells fired in a volley fall into a circle with a diameter of 12,4 meters.


    Yes, the shelling of a burnt T-62 showed the "efficiency" and "high accuracy" of this squalor. From 1-0,9 kilometers out of 100 shells 10 hit, of which about not the least penetrate the armor of modern Russian tanks. Confused by this fool

    Su-25 outright loses the A-10 in terms of power plants. On the first copies:
    Double-circuit TF34-GE-100F General Electric Engine dry weight, kg 645, thrust 4116 kgf, beats fuel consumption. 0,37
    single-circuit turbojet engine R-95SH Engine dry weight 990 kg, thrust 4100 kgf
    That is, in the power plant there is a total loss of 790 kg at once, and a loss in fuel efficiency.
    on the modernized Su-25T (TM) attack aircraft, more powerful turbojet engines R-195 (2х4300 kgf) were used.

    As an artillery platform, the A-10 is immeasurably more powerful and more effective.

      Alas! We've always had problems with engines. If there was a good two-circuit engine of suitable thrust, it would be installed on the Su-25. Initially, they wanted to install the afterburner (!) Version of the AI-25, but as the aircraft's mass grew, it had to be abandoned. And I had to put what is. P-95 is a non-afterburner version of the well-known P13-300, developed almost as early as the 50s of the last century. The newest aircraft was equipped with a dense engine - a spent, reliable, but alas, heavy, "hot" and gluttonous. On the R-195, the exhaust temperature was reduced, but the problems with gluttony did not go away.

The most is against armored vehicles. The main armament of the opposite UAVs. Expensive, yes. But the cost of the plane and the life of the pilot are more expensive.

    with the section of the task "attack aircraft" - "warthog" is undoubtedly better
    one of the main requirements for an attack aircraft is the ability to move at minimum speed near the ground without stalling and attack at any convenient moment (it is impossible to attack at high speed near the ground - the pilot simply will not consider the target)
    Su-25 - about 300 km / h
    claim that the minimum flight speed at the ground of the Su-25 is less
    I don’t know what it is for A-10, but its stall speed is 220 km / h
    and for the Su-25 - 200 km / h
    so, we can assume that if the Su-25 has a gain in this aspect, then it is insignificant

      Did they come up with something better on the CM3 than the P-195, created back in Soviet times? And if you work outside the air defense (and this is the only way to work in the 25st century), then the size does not matter. Well, the Su-12T was a very cool modification, it's a pity that it seems that only XNUMX pieces were released. Two cars were sold to Ethiopia, where they showed themselves excellently, one of the cars withstood a close explosion of the Kvadrat air defense missile system.

          The A-10 is also an attack aircraft. And it works as a medium-altitude guided weapon carrier. Do you want to scatter planes and the lives of pilots - send the Su-25 to attack, the old fashioned way. Women still give birth to soldiers, what is there, though the industry will not give new Su-25s yet.

    IMHO:
    SU-24 - as an aircraft, it is less whimsical and easy to operate, tenacious. A real workhorse.
    But the Americans have created a much more advanced set of weapons for their own, implementing the principle of fire and forget. As a result, the warthog has a potentially increased combat range and no need to "guide" the missile to the target, which increases the combat stability of the complex as a whole.
