The Ministry of Defense decided to deploy attack aircraft in the western direction

The western direction will be reinforced by assault units aviation, the Ministry of Defense decided to deploy units and units equipped with Su-25SM3 attack aircraft in the territory of the Western Military District.

The Western strategic direction, today, is one of the most important, given the concentration of NATO forces and assets near the Russian borders, however, there is no ground attack aircraft in the Western Military District. The last 899th Guards Attack Aviation Regiment, based in Buturlinovka near Voronezh, was disbanded in 2009, and attack aircraft from the Southern or Eastern military districts were involved in exercises or maneuvers. This situation was recognized as erroneous, the military department decided to correct the situation and create assault regiments equipped with Su-25SM3 attack aircraft on the territory of the Western Military District.

The military is currently working on the issue of deploying aviation units equipped with Su-25 attack aircraft in the Western Military District. "News" with reference to sources in the Ministry of Defense. So far, nothing is known about the specific timing of the appearance of new air units.

The Russian Su-25 attack aircraft has been produced since Soviet times, the machine has proven itself from the best side, this is confirmed by the use of this aircraft as part of a special military operation in Ukraine. The main task of the attack aircraft is to cover ground troops and strike at enemy positions. The aircraft is designed to destroy small mobile and stationary ground targets, as well as low-speed air targets.

At present, the VKS is armed with the latest modification of the attack aircraft - the Su-25SM3. The modernized vehicles are equipped with a digital display that displays the ground and air situation, a new fire control system and GLONASS satellite navigation are installed. The combat effectiveness of the machine has improved three times compared to previous modifications. The aircraft is capable of hitting ground targets from a considerable distance, without entering into visual contact with the target, but only by coordinates.

The right decision! Serdyukovshchina must be destroyed and everything destroyed by him should be revived, and he and his girlfriend should go to hell!

[Vladimir M]

Has Serdyukov been driving for the last 10 years? Serdyukov was supposed to "clean up" the Army after the dashing 90s, as he did the second question. But a completely different person was supposed to be engaged in the construction of the New Army with units of constant combat readiness.

What was there to destroy? By the time Serdyukov became minister, the army had been gone for many years. But who has been driving the last 10 years and building a new army? And what did you get as a result. Here are the questions...

But are the problems only with the places of basing?
And what about the number of attack aircraft?
How many Su-25s are left in service? After reforms, deliveries to friendly countries and losses in NWO?
There are less than 200 of them. And this is very little. Maybe, of course, there is a certain amount in storage and it is possible to return them to service through major repairs and modernization ... but I have doubts about this.
Therefore, I consider it necessary to resume production of the Su-25 in the CM3 version or in the Su-39 version (which was created, tested, but not accepted into service). There is no need to invent something fundamentally new, an attack aircraft - a battlefield aircraft, must be highly protected, maneuverable, subsonic and inexpensive. That's how he is. And it is necessary to have about 500 such aircraft in the Aerospace Forces. And not "about 200 pcs."
And of course - the airfield network, specialists from airfield services and aviation equipment. This cannot be done in a couple of years, but it is necessary to do it by 2030, when a war of a completely different scale is expected. If it carries over in this and next years.

[Lech from Android.]

NATO members are planning to increase their rapid reaction forces on the border with Russia from 40 to 300 bayonets... the NATO threat to our country is growing... the deployment of attack aircraft is the right decision.
We got into a fight with the West in which we need to reach a new level of training and struggle against these crusaders.

[DMFalke]

It's not a threat. The West provoked a conflict in which both sides gladly got involved. And the west? It supplies old weapons to/into Ukraine, Europe buys new ones out of fear, the United States updates its arsenals almost for nothing - state corporations receive billions of orders, the right people get decent kickbacks from this. Everything works, everyone is happy. In addition to the participants in the NWO, there are only losses, to buy and restore equipment for their own, to restore destruction for their own, the economy suffers, etc. etc.
Plus, the West was finally able to make a babayka out of the Russian Federation, at the level of the red threat - the military budget and the wallets of their owners are safe for another 20-30 years. We scold the Americans "well, stupid", and they turn us around as they want, and the whole world in their own interests.

[zloybond]

Here you can make a significant and major amendment. - The whole Army goes through a real school of war. Not just courses! Fighters and commanders get real experience. Unlike those who are watching from the sidelines and shivering in fear in an armchair, the Russian Army is under fire. Those who could run away from the battlefield ran away even at the time of mobilization. The industry is making adjustments to production, taking into account real combat experience of use. Started work on other shortcomings. So some build up strength - others hone these forces.

[Deon59]

Su 25 has not been produced for a long time. And the pilots on the new shelves will be sucked out of their fingers

Recycling or storing old equipment also costs a lot of money. It saves money to ship such rubbish to another country, and the companies that produced this equipment will also make money on the supply of spare parts.

The Western Military District opposes NATO member countries. What were they guided by? In addition to the fact that this is direct sabotage, nothing else comes to mind.

Have you ever managed to put this beautiful slogan into practice?

[ask]

The Su-25 attack aircraft is not produced! The last one was from 1991! Only the aircraft of the extreme 10th series are being modernized, of which there are few left ... The plant was in Tbilisi. After the collapse of the USSR, combat (single-seat) ones are no longer produced, and sparks - a completely different aircraft, they still seem to be doing.

[AKsvlad047]

Agree completely! It is necessary to start production of the Su-25 again in a new configuration. Judging by the results of the air defense system, they work more efficiently at the front end than the Su-34s, which are also 5 times more expensive. Without high-precision, long-range ammunition, the effectiveness of the Su-34 is equal to the Su-25. This begs the question - what to release? We can’t make ammunition for the Su-34, which means we need to rivet the Su-25, otherwise we can leave our advanced units without air support at all!

[Sebostyuan]

In your opinion, is it easier to start producing obsolete aircraft than accurate and long-range bombs for new aircraft?

[AKsvlad047]

In fact, for our industry - yes! It is easier to make Su-25 than high-precision and long-range ammunition! If it were different, they would already be doing it! I am also for ammunition and new aircraft, but reality says otherwise! For this reason, old but modernized aircraft are better than new ones with old ammunition!

[Sebostyuan]

The absence of high-precision, tactical bombs in the Aerospace Forces is the desire of the military, and not the possibility of production. The bet was made on "Hephaestus". Hephaestus is a very good system, but for its own tasks. And relying solely on her was a mistake, it has now been corrected.
Ps. If there are planes and pilots, then of course I am for the idea of ​​​​reviving the ShP. If there is nothing. That's in my opinion. A combination of attack UAVs and attack helicopters is better suited and easier to implement.

[Alexey Lantukh]

Establishing the production of even old aircraft is an expensive thing. At the same time, the SU25 will not be five times cheaper. Well, a maximum of 1,5 times. Efforts should be directed towards precision-guided munitions and the rocket-powered bomb plan.

[Deon59]

China still produces Tu 16, An 12, An 24 and does not take a steam bath. And it’s better for us to cut the money for development, and by the time it is released, it is already outdated.

[Scharnhorst]

Didn't have time to write, but I agree. I think it’s wrong to resume production of a model from the 80s. It is more relevant to increase the production of combat helicopters and form mixed air brigades. In Ukraine, even modern combat helicopters are pressed to the surface and, due to the saturation of front-line air defense, they are forced to launch NURS from a hill, and faster Su-25s with tridents die at the first flight to the front.

[AKsvlad047]

Well, not from the first flight! As we can see, they have been flying for 10 months and we can’t land them all!!!

Interestingly, and due to what sources are they going to deploy? From what directions will they shoot? Or did some factory start making them on a large scale?

[Aviator_]

Or did some factory start making them on a large scale?

The plant is not the biggest problem. Where are the flight schools, where are the teachers and the base of these schools? The Orenburg building has been given to the Russian Orthodox Church since 1993, and is still in ruins.

And attack aircraft are now taught in Borisoglebsk!

[AlexWar]

And why do we need the Su-25, it's time to transfer new aircraft and put the old ones in NZ warehouses. America F-35 buys. We need something newer than the Su-57
There is a Su-57, why not armor it well and make it an attack aircraft?
Most importantly, for 30 years, the Su-25 has not been replaced with a new, well-armored attack aircraft.
Until the war with NATO began, it would be necessary to reopen all closed runways. Reanimate all parts that were closed. So that Europe understands that Russia has begun deploying troops.
Today there was news that tanks were being brought to Poland for a reason. It's time to start the operation to move to Lviv

[incognoto]

are you comparing su 25 with su-57? do you even understand that these are different types? moreover, do you think that in one year it is possible to re-equip the VKS? in the future, in general, the task of storming aviation will be transferred to UAVs ..

[Volunteer Marek]

Here's how! So simple? Where can I get planes? From museums? Or do we have a factory for their production? Five pieces a month? How Novosibirsk used to build the SU-24. Have the flight schools been restored? Pilots, in sufficient numbers, where? And how much time and effort is needed to train a combat-ready pilot? And what about engineering and technical schools (Perm, Achinsk, Kaliningrad VATU)? What about ARZ? And, a thousand more "WHERE?". The answer is spinning on the tongue, but the censorship will not miss.
R. S. Regiment Normandy-Neman, what was in Galenki, where? 20 years since destroyed. We don't have attack aircraft. And not only her, unfortunately. And the current leaders will not restore it. Alas.

Flight schools must be restored, there will soon be no pilots if the war drags on.

They lived in peace with the geyropa - they destroyed the western defense lines, they lived in peace with the east - they destroyed the eastern defense lines. Campaign, today no one thinks to restore fortified areas in the ZabVO, but in vain .....

[ask]

I agree, Serdyukov messed up. But there were also positive moments. Judge for yourself: there was an assault aviation regiment on the Su-25 in Krasnodar. It was formed in 1993 to strengthen the southern borders - it was dispersed in 2009 (together with Buturlinovsky. Buturlinovka-Krasnodar, there was such a song: they fought together, together they "dispersed." In the regiment under the states, 3 squadrons were able to recruit people and equipment for only two. But By 2009, there was only one squadron of serviceable equipment left, and people, in fact, too. The rest is in "wood", spare parts, resources ..... But the REGIMENT! Yes, and they didn’t see the battle banner in this regiment from 1993 to 2009. It wasn’t there at all, they didn’t give it, and people had problems with housing, it’s like there’s no regiment (where’s the banner?). Was it a boy?"

[AlexWar]

In my opinion, it is necessary to create parts A of constant readiness and with the latest technology, and parts B with modernized equipment, which should be intended for the mobilized. Part B for deployment in case of war. Part B for example for conscripts. And for contract soldiers, Part B is the part that trains the fighters, and Part A is the part that should be able to fight.

[Uprun]

Well, they just discovered America ..... Probably you haven’t heard about cropped parts? In the ZabVO in the fortified area in the 80s there were 3 deployed battalions and an artillery division Grad to the state of wartime and 8 framed battalions with equipment in storage. About partisans, military training of reserve officers is a separate issue. Only all this was in the Soviet Army.

[Damir_N]

To maintain these aircraft, trained engineering and flight personnel will be required. The SM and SM3 are very different from the simple SU-25 in terms of avionics. Where can you get so many trained specialists in such a quantity at once? In 2011, it was the SU-25 regiments that were greatly reduced. Our regiment was retrained in the Lipetsk center on the SU-25SM, and we were the first to be reduced. In my opinion, there are no more technical secondary aviation schools or simple VATU. All were bombed. Nothing will grow from the wishlist right away. Everything takes time. We can break it down instantly, but build it there.

[AlexWar]

Only these Su-25s will resist the F-16 and F-35, they are outdated, the equipment has not been produced for a long time.
Our bombers seem to be Su-34s, they will only be well armored by an attack aircraft.
https://topwar.ru/193645-su-34-opravdannoe-prevoshodstvo.html
The Su-34 also has a reservation
I think that the work of two crew members is more effective than one, one of the battlefield is monitored by the second one controls the weapon. Plus, if they catapulted together, there is a chance of staying alive.
Is it possible to work with conventional bombs? Yes, it is possible. Up to 16 FAB-500, up to 22 FAB-250 or up to 34 FAB-100. Plus, inherited from predecessors, you can hang up to 6 units with NAR S-8 (120 missiles) or S-13 (30 missiles), as well as up to 6 S-25 missiles. Yes, the S-25 is a very stupid missile. Unmanaged. But she has warheads weighing 150 kg, of which 58 are explosive charges, the rest is 9000 fragmentation elements.
A dozen planes can make hell for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, especially detonating ones. Who burn everything.

[bk316]

Su-25s will face F-16s and F-35s

The attack aircraft will resist the fighter?

Only these Su-25s will resist the F-16 and F-35, they are outdated

In fact, the f-16 began to be operated 3 years before the su-25

Bombers

Bombers?

A dozen planes can make hell for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, especially detonating ones.

Volumetric detonating aircraft?

I think so

Seriously?

[Revolver]

It is all good and logical, but one thing is not clear: what prevented such a decision from being made a year ago? After all, they did not prepare the CBO for a couple of days. Or did they get drunk on the occasion of February 23 and decided "how will we hit it now!"?

[AdAstra]

It seems, judging by what is happening, it was like in the last sentence of your comment

[AlexWar]

Why don’t we use these bombs here, they would have been bombed in the area of ​​\uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbcities, then the infantry would be launched on the offensive and they would take any city
The only question is the availability of these ammunition. a couple of visits to the front line there will be nothing

[Andron78]

This is probably the right decision, but the effectiveness of attack aircraft in a technological conflict, when the front line is saturated with air defense systems, in my opinion, has greatly decreased. An attack is already a loss task, and an attack with a roll-up is ineffective. Today's attack aircraft is more like an attack helicopter with long-range precision weapons.

[Zapasnoy]

The Russian Su-25 attack aircraft has been produced since Soviet times

Completely incorrect statement. It has not been produced for a long time, but, unfortunately, it is only being modernized.

[SpbGenn]

The danger is minidrones at low altitude.
When a drone hits a gas turbine engine, the latter fails.

[jovanni]

Deployment is good. But is there such a number of "collapsed" attack aircraft so that they can be deployed ...

[lubesky]

The last 899th Guards Attack Aviation Regiment, based in Buturlinovka near Voronezh, was disbanded in 2009.

I won't even comment, you know...

[Sergey3]

What I don’t understand is, are they still being produced? They were made in Tbilisi, then a little in Ulan - Ude, discontinued by Manturov in 2016. Now only the last modification made is being modernized. Then what is the article about? Instead, the Su-34 is produced, and even then in small quantities, because. the state did not want to buy a lot of them.

[Arkady007]

1. Where is the Su-25 produced today (question for backfilling) and how many units per year?
2. Where can I get pilots for this type, where are they trained and how many per year?
Glory to Serdyukov and his supporters.
3. How tired of this lie from the highest stands. It looks like they set themselves tasks for which they do not know the answer.

[storm]

On the face is an attempt by the Moscow Region to recreate a miserable copy of the USSR army.
Instead of the accelerated development of aerospace reconnaissance and target designation systems, so urgently needed in modern warfare, they are beginning to form assault air regiments based on the long-obsolete Su-25s that have not shown themselves in any way in the NVO ...
Shooting NURSAM from the "hill" without entering the air defense zone, the main method of using attack aircraft.
This niche is very densely and successfully occupied by attack drones of the medium and heavy class, it is in this direction that it is necessary to develop and form regiments of unmanned aircraft.

[FoBoss_VM]

Isn't it time to think about restoring the production of the Su25 in a modernized version based on the results of its own in Ukraine? There is nothing to make up for the losses, the park of rooks is not endless, and the car at the front is very necessary, as it turned out, and very effective

[Wayfarer_2]

The troops must be fully provided with reconnaissance and strike drones. So that there was not one per battalion. And so that a swarm attack, if necessary, could be done. And not just once. And I think that the SU-25, no matter how you modernize it, is still outdated. It is better to transfer money for its production to the SU-57 or the Okhotnik drone. It will also be possible to carry out the work of the SU-25 with these devices or the SU-34, only from afar, risking less.
