The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said that the Ukrainian army continued to shoot down a Russian Su- 25 attack aircraft near Pokrovsk in Donetsk fiefdom on May 22.
” The Ukrainian army destroyed a Russian Su- 25 attack aircraft,” the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine blazoned.
This is the fifth Russian Su- 25 aircraft declared destroyed by Ukraine this month.
The advertisement said fighting was still violent in the Pokrovsk area of Donetsk fiefdom, where Russia’s newest Su- 25 was destroyed.
” The number of attacks in the Pokrovsk region has increased to 25. In particular, the adversary is trying to break into our combat conformations with assault groups and outfit. The situation remains tense with 9 Fighting is ongoing,” the Ukrainian army verified.
Ukraine preliminarily claimed to have destroyed Su- 25 aircraft on May 4, May 11, May 13 and May 18. The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said on May 18 that Russia has lost further than 350 aircraft since launching a comprehensive service crusade in Ukraine.
Russia has not yet reflected on the below information.
The Su- 25 is a ground attack aircraft, designed to support ground forces both day and night. presently, the Russian service staffs Su- 25 performances including Su- 25SM, Su- 25SM3 and Su- 25UB.
As an attack force assigned with attacking Ukrainian targets on the ground, Russia’s Su- 25 aircraft must face numerous challenges, especially from man- movable air defense bullet systems( MANPADS) that the West uses. The West has handed aid to Ukraine. The Su- 25 is designed for direct attack and close combat support, with a maximum speed of about 956km/ h and a flight ceiling of 6,700m.
In addition to a 30 mm binary- barrel cannon with 250 shells, the Su- 25 can carry further than 4 tons of security, including dumdums, rockets, guided and unguided losers, and indeed fresh ordnance. The Su- 25 is equipped with sword and titanium panels ranging from 6 mm to 25 mm thick around the cockpit, corridor of the fuselage and bodies, as well as the energy tanks.
During the special service crusade in Ukraine, Russia frequently used Su- 25 attacks in close combat operations. Russian aggressors frequently travel in dyads and are supported by military copters.
To avoid being detected by adversary radar, Russia’s Su- 25 frequently flies low above the ground when on duty. still, this tactic also has certain pitfalls when Ukraine’s MANPADS systems open fire on the battleground.
The fact that the Su- 25 operates too close to the ground makes this aircraft a target for attack by the Ukrainian air defense system.
Russia is enhancing its attacks in numerous areas of Ukraine’s eastern front, covering much of Donetsk fiefdom, after taking control of the megacity of Avdiivka in February. Moscow is shifting its functional focus to Chasiv Yar, an elevated megacity that could potentially pave the way for farther Russian military advances in the region.
