With your obvious knowledge of military equipment, I wish you would post a piece about the SU-25 Frogfoot that’s been delivered to Iraq. The sense I’ve developed of it is that the airplane is sort of the Russian version of the US A-10 Warthog?

Actually, the Su-25 is closer to being the Russian version of the A-9, which was the Northrop design that lost to the A-10.

Or, depending on your point of view, the great-grandson of the Il-2 Sturmovik.
