The Sukhoi Su-25 (NATO name: Frogfoot) is a single-seat, twin engine, armored assault aircraft developed in the Soviet Union by the Sukhoi Design Bureau. It was designed to provide battlefield close support. The Su-25 began as the T-8 Project. The first prototype made its maiden flight in February 1975. The basic version of the aircraft was produced at Tbilisi, Georgia and they were delivered to the 200th OShAE at Sital Chai in Azerbaijan during April 1981. Between 1978 and 1989, 582 single-seat Su-25s were produced. They served in the Soviet Union and some export Su-25K operators are Iraq, Angola, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, North Korea, Peru and Slovakia.
