Ik heb het russisch lidl-doosje opzij gelegd uit pure miserie en aan een nieuw schipje begonnen met volle moed en om ervaring op te doen.
Ik koos voor de SU-25 "frogfoot"
Toen ik in de jaren 90 vlak na de aankoop van mijn nieuwe pc Pentium I 166mmx een spel mocht kopen kocht ik me Commanche 3.
Een helicopter sim waar bij je de RAh 66 Commanche moest vliegen en vrij realistisch voor die tijd overkwam. (beste helisim ooit vind ik nog altijd)
Na een aantal missies begon ik schrik te krijgen van een bepaalde vijand.
Namelijk de Frogfoot !
Dit beestje gaf me zo'n kick om tegen te komen in dat spel dat het nog vers in mijn geheugen zit.
Een tijdje geleden zag ik een revell doosje van deze SU-25 "Frogfoot"
Ik wou deze maken... uit nostalgie.
Tot hier mijn inleiding.
Nu een beetje geschiedenis : (ja tis engels )
The Sukhoi Su-25 (NATO reporting name: Frogfoot) is a single-seat, twin-engine jet aircraft developed in the Soviet Union by the Sukhoi Design Bureau.
It was designed to provide close air support for the Soviet Ground Forces.
The first prototype made its maiden flight on 22 February 1975. After testing, the aircraft went into series production in 1978 at Tbilisi in the Soviet Republic of Georgia.
Russian air and ground forces nicknamed it "Grach" ("Rook").
Early variants included the Su-25UB two-seat trainer, the Su-25BM for target-towing, and the Su-25K for export customers.
Upgraded variants developed by Sukhoi include the Su-25T and the further improved Su-25TM (also known as Su-39).
By year 2007, the Su-25 is the only armoured airplane still in production except the Su-34 whose production just started.
It is currently in service with Russia and various other CIS states as well as export customers.
During its more than twenty-five years in service, the Su-25 has seen combat with several air forces.
It was heavily involved in the Soviet war in Afghanistan, flying counter-insurgency missions against the Mujahideen.
The Iraqi Air Force employed Su-25s against Iran during the 1980–89 Iran–Iraq War. Most of them were later destroyed or fled to Iran in the 1991 Persian Gulf War.
In 1993, Abkhazian separatists used Su-25s against Georgians during the Abkhazian War.
Eight years later, the Macedonian Air Force employed Su-25s against Albanian insurgents in the 2001 Macedonia conflict, and in 2008, Georgia and Russia reportedly used Su-25s in the South Ossetian conflict.
DESCRIPTION:
Designed for low-level close-in air support of ground troops, the Su-25 is heavily armored and designed to absorb significant punishment over the battlefield. The pilot is protected by an almost 1-inch thick case of welded titanium, and the internal fuel tanks are filled with reticulated foam to help prevent explosions. The Su-25 is equipped with a laser-designator behind a flat glass window in the nose allowing the aircraft to deliver precision guided bombs and missiles. Though similar in many ways to the American A-10 attack aircraft, the Su-25 has proven very unpopular with pilots. This was especially true during the Afghanistan conflict of the 1980s where the Su-25 suffered terrible losses to portable anti-aircraft missiles and ground fire. Because of experience in that war, an improved version, known as the Su-39, has been developed featuring a new nav/attack system, improved weapons delivery systems, and other equipment to improve survivability. About 330 total aircraft are believed to have been built by 1989.
