sorry,.. the SU26 is called FrogFoot. It’s a flying tank.

There is no SU-26 airplane, the SU-25 Frogfoot is the Russian close air support bird. It vaguely resembles the YA-9A from the A-X competition that gave us the A-10, but it seems to be a function-follows-form thing as the Frogfoot seems to be built around a different philosophy and is not as well armored as either of the A-X competitors.

The SU-26 is a WW2 Soviet self-propelled gun. :P
