The Super Fighter That Ended Up Battling Itself

In the contested skies over Ukraine in 2024, a Soviet-era Sukhoi Su-25 streaks across the sky, its familiar silhouette unchanged since the days of the Cold War. But as it approaches its target, something is different, as the pilot releases not Russian-made munitions but a NATO-approved French Hammer-guided bomb. Born in the 1970s as the USSR's answer to the American A-10 Warthog, the Sukhoi Su-25 was built to survive intense ground fire during close support missions. Its twin R-95Sh engines, each producing 9,900 pounds of thrust, push it to speeds over 600 miles per hour. With thick armor plating shielding the cockpit and a powerful twin-barrel autocannon that can fire 3,000 rounds per minute, the model has proven its worth in dozens of conflicts around the world. From Soviet factories to desert battlefields and now carrying Western-made weapons over Eastern Europe, the Su-25 has evolved far beyond its creators' expectations. Today, in Ukraine's contested airspace, this modern-day "Flying Tank" continues to adapt. As these battle-hardened aircraft crisscross the skies, they fly for both sides of the conflict. The same robust airframe that once symbolized the Soviet might now embodies the complexities of 21st-century warfare, serving in ways its designers never envisioned. --- Join Dark Skies as we explore the world of aviation with cinematic short documentaries featuring the biggest and fastest airplanes ever built, top-secret military projects, and classified missions with hidden untold true stories.
