In 2014 civil unrest began in Crimea and Russia annexed the area. Russian sympathizers launched attacks throughout parts of the Ukraine and Ukraine forces reacted. On July 2, 2014, returning from a sortie in Eastern Ukraine Su-25M1 Blue 06, assigned to the 299th Aviation Brigade at Nikolaev, Kulbakino Airport (UKOR) crashed at Dneproptrovsk Airport with the pilot safely ejecting. The crash was listed as "due to technical difficulties" but was likely caused by ground fire. Ukrainian Air Force Blue 06 MSN 10121 c/n 25508110121 was the first Su-25 with the pixel paint scheme.
Designed as a close support aircraft with similar requirements to the US A-10, the Su25 was first flown on February 22nd, 1975. © Copyright 2003-2024 The Flying Mule, Inc.
