when looking back at the development of china's military equipment, the 1990s was undoubtedly an important turning period. with the disintegration of the soviet union, russia and other former soviet countries were eager to sell their military equipment in exchange for foreign exchange. the su-25 attack aircraft, as an excellent-performance ground support aircraft have naturally become the focus of attention of various countries. however, although there are rumors that china has considered introducing 100 su-25 attack aircraft at one time, it did not happen in the end.

so what is the reason behind this?

even in the development of the soviet union, especially in the movement of fighter aircraft, one thing that must be mentioned is the su-25 attack aircraft, also known as "frogfoot", which is a front-line support attack aircraft developed and mass-produced by the soviet union in the mid-1980s. the aircraft is famous for its powerful firepower, good low-altitude and low-speed performance and high survivability. the su-25 has a maximum take-off weight of 17 tons, has 8 hardpoints, and a maximum bomb load of 4.4 tons. it can carry including it has a variety of weapons, including air-to-ground missiles, rockets, and bombs, and has excellent ground support capabilities.

although this weapon has been relatively powerful for a long time, the su-25 is not without its shortcomings. as a specially designed ground attack aircraft, its range and combat radius are relatively limited, and it does not have strong air superiority combat capabilities. . on complex and ever-changing modern battlefields, this limitation may expose it to greater survival risks.
