The su-25 is slow and the most vulnerable aircraft (on both sides) in this war.
Very similar role to the beloved A-10 thunderbolt, which also has the similar issues when fighting a modern military. The A10 has superior ECM but is about 1/2 speed of the frogfoot.
Ukraine shot down 2 of them so far today.
Not sure what ordinance an A-10 can carry but I could be a nice launch platform, with that said there are better options
As I understand it is pretty robust and relatively easy to work on, engines are less susceptible to FOD so less then ideal runways are good. But burrerrrp is out of the question
Gripen sounds like a good choice

Interesting example of proportional navigation.
