It seems to me that in future there will be more work for the Su-25. Large command posts and weapons depots were bombed, now militants are distributing from one large to several medium ones, and dozens of jeeps are not put in a heap. And in general, they try not to shine in large groups and move mainly at night.
Of course, VKS planes are unlikely to be chasing after every jeep, but nevertheless the task will become more complicated.
T-72B appeared in Syria

Why only su 25? To advertise weapons, Su 34 should work. Then, exactly, the contracts will go.

It was precisely noticed: we, the inhabitants, should be closer to the economic efficiency of the resources used and combat effectiveness than the presence of new contracts for old weapons.

We, the inhabitants of Russia should be closer to security !!!
There, our military provides us with a peaceful sleep.
People risk their lives ensuring our safety.
And you say cost-effectiveness
Many were obsessed with profit and money.

We will win this war for Syria - we will have both contracts and field development and a union state with the Russian Navy and VKS bases.
And if we lose, then we will have an "anaconda loop", an unstable Middle East and Central Asia, an extremist entity with a jihad against the Russian Federation, flows of migrants, the proximity of World War III.

Not many people here differ from amers, they think in money and profit.

It would be nice to fly an unmanned Yak-130 in the sky of the Middle East. The experience will be priceless.

Your optimism is respected. But there is also Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, etc. ... there is a lot of work there unfortunately.

[31rus]

What you have listed and there is a list of targets for aviation, other ammunition will be used, tactics for attack aircraft may change, but otherwise typical goals and objectives, but there will be more work for turntables

[2s1122]

But I want only turntables, and shock UAVs for what then are needed.

[mitrich]

So we don’t have drone drone, and in the near future is not expected, only intelligence, the level of 20 years ago for Amers and Israelis.

Why did you decide that? Now they are developing a strike UAV based on the Yak-130. They are going to make an impact UAV out of it.

[mitrich]

So, write yourself, it’s being developed. And it can be three and five years or more, until the moment of commissioning. And it is not known how it will show itself in a combat, real situation. So it is not yet in sight.

[sever.56]

We expect that tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, we will find out that as a result of the use of these bombs, more than one leader of the Barmalei disintegrated into molecules.

We tested the new OFZAB-500

This is not American excavator bombing. All seriously.

[KAPITANUS]

More and more ! Heavier and harder! Dig deeper and deeper!

The ground rock is apparently rocky, then stony zemlyanitsa.

And will high-precision ammunition be used or are we waiting until the depots run out?

If there are enough of these, why pay more, if they don’t lay the carpet there, it’s absurd to hit with a caliber in a jeep

[Maksus]

Yes, then, so as not to even enter into the zone of airborne defeat of MANPADS spiritual. You never know what the Americans will throw them.

[LukaSaraev]

Rather, Ukrainians. They withdrew from the agreement on MANPADS, their choice ..

You see, only the last du cancer will use expensive ammunition in places where there is no work for conventional conventional PSUs.

[KGB WATCH YOU]

From the recent, KAB-1500LG. KAB-500S is also constantly thrown.

[Maksus]

Interestingly, why are there so many minuses? For deciding to combine pleasant (send bearded to heaven) with useful (about refreshing stocks in warehouses in the know, or are there people with a military education here?) ????

Today, Russian attack aircraft used two concrete-piercing bombs weighing 500 kg each at the IS facilities.

Well, figs with them, in the sense of bombs. For good people, do not mind

BETAB-500 - a concrete-bombing bomb used to destroy reinforced concrete shelters ...

Let the terrorists know - there is no place for them, either on the earth or under the earth!

[Shturmovik]

So there was already information about the use of KAB-1500, it will be abruptly!

Something like this.

[Mikhail Krapivin]

Very instructive. It should be shown to everyone who wants to fight for the idea and American dollars.

[almost demobil]

Cool vidyuha, with every flight of the bomber there are less and less howls who want to go to the bar

[figwam]

Something like this.

Red-red blood -
An hour later, just the earth,
Two flowers on it and grass
After three she is alive again.
And warmed by the rays of a star
By the name of the Sun.

[Deniska999]

They will dig up new fighters.

a lot of bearded dug up .. let’s still dig, no need to bury .. babah and fertilizer
