AIRCRAFT BRIEF
The Sukhoi Su-25T is a dedicated anti-tank variant of the Su-25 Frogfoot, developed in the late 1980s and first flying in 1984. It introduces the Shkval electro-optical targeting system and Klen-PS laser designator, enabling day precision attack with the 9K121 Vikhr anti-tank missile at ranges up to 8 km. The Su-25T formed the basis for the further upgraded Su-25TM (Su-39), and the DCS World version is the most advanced freely available variant in the sim.
