1/48 Su-25 Wing Air Brakes Early Version (for Zvezda)

The Sukhoi Su-25 is a Soviet-made ground attack and close air support aircraft, developed from the OKB-51 Sukhoi in the late 1970s and entered service with the Soviet Armed Forces in 1981.

Designed to provide air support to ground forces, it is employed for tactical bombing missions in hostile territory against military installations, forward bases and ground units even in the presence of portable air defense devices and in environments saturated with electronic countermeasures. Known among Russian-speaking troops as the Grach, it is also known as the Flying Tank, on a par with the Soviet Il-2 Sturmovik fighter-tank, because of the thick titanium tank enveloping the cockpit to protect the crew.

In service with various air forces in the former Warsaw Pact and on the African continent, it is equipped with redundant systems to maximize its survivability in the event of adversary failures and strikes and has been produced in numerous versions the most recent of which is called the Su-25SM3, on delivery to the Russian Aerospace Forces since 2017.
