In Russia, the modernized Su-25UB was prepared for testing.

In Russia, tests of the two-seater Su25UBM will soon begin, reports Rossiyskaya Gazeta with reference to Interfax-AVN.



“The modernization of the Su-25UB combat attack aircraft is due to the fact that it is easier to perform daily combat missions on a two-seat attack aircraft. And, above all, at night. Su-XNUMHUBM will have increased efficiency of combat work at night, ”a source in the military-industrial complex told the agency.

According to him, "the tests will last about two years and will include the order of 150 flights."

The interlocutor noted that “according to the on-board radio-electronic equipment, armament and combat effectiveness, the Su-25UBM aircraft will be almost identical to the most advanced modification of the Su-25 attack aircraft - the Su-25СМ3 aircraft”.

“Earlier, two modernizations of the single-seat combat attack aircraft Su-25 were carried out (versions of the Su-25SM and Su-25SM3),” the source recalled. - The first 16 Su-25SM3 aircraft in November last year were received by the pilots of the assault aviation regiment of the first Guards mixed aviation division of the Southern Military District, stationed in the Kuban city of Primorsko-Akhtarsk. "

Help "WG": "Subsonic attack aircraft Su-25, known by the nickname" Grach ", operated from 1981 year. The aircraft is designed for round-the-clock support of ground forces over the battlefield with a direct view of the target. In the 2009 year, purchases of this type of attack aircraft for the Russian Air Force were resumed, it is assumed that they will remain in service at least until the 2020 year. ”

It’s too early to write off the old man, the flying tank is very tenacious and it’s very hard to shoot it down, and the machine itself is very reliable, plus the thrust-weight ratio is excellent, plus it doesn’t matter to it, mountains, or fields of the North American continent (well, this is in case help in the fight against IS in the United States!)

          The old man will still fight, it’s too early to write him off. The SU-34 is replacing him and the Yak-130 is trying to upgrade to the level of an attack aircraft and they will probably make it an attack UAV (the most armed of attack drone). But I think when the attack aircraft fleet will be equipped with new Su-34 and Yak-130 (new modification), maybe it’s worth making an UAV out of SU-25 ...

            The Su-34 cannot replace Grach in any way. They are not armored, can not operate effectively at low altitude and speed. Khrushchev replaced the attack aircraft with fighter-bombers, the results were negative.
            Then they returned to the attack aircraft, they showed themselves well in Afghanistan.

            Yak-130 - again, where is his armor? She is not, which means he cannot directly support the troops in battle. Maximum chase gangsters who do not even have Zushka.

          What's the point? Probable opponents of new attack aircraft are not expected. Just updating the park is the thing. Another thing, to reduce the cost of attacks on low-security targets, it would be necessary to continue the late Soviet research on the subject of the most unified and cheap turboprop attack aircraft, otherwise the gap has remained unmet since Soviet times

            Still, it’s a mess when the plane is older than the pilot at the helm. According to the canon, it should be like in Switzerland - the equipment is necessarily younger than the youngest soldier and at the same time the army is engaged in its immediate task, and not the construction of cottages or outfits in the kitchen.

            Su-39 is also called Su-25TM.

            Let's first read about the Su-25T:
            The design of the aircraft is similar to the Su-25UB (about the modernization of which is written in the article) (unification of 85%). The difference is in a single cabin (while maintaining the Su-25UB armored unit), an extra-precancer compartment, which houses the Shkval sighting system equipment, and an extended keel.

            There is a project to finalize the Su-25T to the Su-25TM (Su-39).

            Here is the "new" attack aircraft.
            And Basarev above proposes to develop something ABSOLUTELY NEW just for the sake of novelty.
            Sorry, but I can not post it. Also, however, not a completely new development - based on the Su-34.

Dear, and that the Americans are fighting only brand new f22 and change equipment every 3 years? Quite the contrary, in spite of its colossal budget, all successful equipment is used to the maximum. The only caveat is that they have it constantly being upgraded! And so if you measure the dates of occurrence, then they and we have almost all come from the 80s. So we need to modernize the equipment and not write garbage that the su-25 is outdated. Not outdated, but it is necessary to upgrade to the cm3 version.

      "... In October 1975, the first production A-10A, officially named Thunderbolt II, took off in honor of the famous P-47 Thunderbolt World War II fighter-bomber. Since March 1976, aircraft began to arrive at units of the Davis-Monten, Arizona airbase [4]. The first A-10 squadron reached combat readiness in October 1977 ..."

      It looks like nothing. Ulan-Ude released a couple of them. And the predecessor of the Su-39, the Su-25T, after the transfer of several machines by GLITS to the Lipetsk Center, produced by the Dimitrov TAPO, was noted in Chechnya ... that's all. Vladimir Petrovich Babak, Chief Designer of the Sukhoi Design Bureau for the Su-25, he is also the President of the Sukhoi Shturmoviki, apparently stopped relying on both the Su-25T and the Su-25TM (Su-39). And technology for almost twenty years of completion of the state tests of the Su-25T has stepped forward. Although the Commander-in-Chief Bondarev once mentioned recently that the PAK SHA will be made on the basis of the Su-25UB.
      By the way, a good photo. Su-25TM (Su-39) manufactured by Ulan-Ude. The company Ulan-Ude bear is depicted on the air intake. I was just almost like that (without the presence of people around, but with the presence of a bottle in the area of ​​the wheel of the main rack) was presented in 1997 when I was dismissed from the army. From the fraternal collective of OKB im. Dry.

          In addition to the words of the Commander-in-Chief Bondarev that the Su-25UB glider will be adopted as the basis, there are no special details. Strictly speaking, this is the idea of ​​V.P.Babak with the Su-25T and Su-25TM. Take the spark glider as a basis. But what are the ideas now ... Maybe the second crew member will be, maybe the second cabin will be used for an additional fuel tank (such information also slipped), maybe they will be used for the Su-25T or Su-39 under the instrument compartment ...
          On the one hand, this reduces the time (it is not necessary to design a completely glider radically new), on the other hand, new equipment must be squeezed into this glider.
          How will the idea be worked out with radar? Already on the Su-25SM3 they were going to place it inside the bow of the airframe instead of the container version. But, something about the further development of this idea, I have not yet seen the materials. Well, etc.
          One of the main issues is the number of crew members (two or one).

    The modernization of the Su-25UB combatant attack aircraft is due to the fact that it is easier to perform all-day combat missions on a two-seat attack aircraft. And, above all, at night. The Su-25UBM will have increased efficiency in combat work at night.

    That is, no matter how perverted ours were with the modernization of a single-seat attack aircraft, no matter how they created a super-sophisticated Su-39, all the same, when switching from "daytime" to "all-weather and all-day", we had to return to the classic "pilot + URO operator" scheme.

          You are absolutely right. I wrote about that. One of the comments of test pilots was the difficulty of combining the piloting process with the aiming process for a number of combat modes. It was, I repeat. remark of military test pilots of the first class. At one of the meetings with the then Chief of the GLITs, Lieutenant General Yu.P. Klishin, the question was raised about the advisability of creating an attack aircraft with two crew members in the future. Perhaps now the technology has gone far ahead, but in my opinion this issue has not been removed so far.

      I agree with you. The glider and the Su-25 and Su-25UB have already been tested in different variations. For example, in the Su-25T and Su-25TM (Su-39), the Su-25UB glider was taken as the basis. The second cabin was involved under the instrument compartment. The complex to ensure the combat survivability of the Su-25, and especially the pilot's survival in the conditions of counteracting air defense, proved to be excellent in real combat conditions.
