Zvezdochka will eventually increase entire Delphin fleet to 35 year life span.
lol, looks like that Chinese troll is back.
Please ban him again.
Yeah, Ulan-Ude already built a Su-25UBM or two, and they have been in trials for a while now. Keep hearing news about how the trials have been passed.

Su-25BM, not a common sight. What is the payload?

Good pic of that Grey Su-25. Looks much better from bottom, when the colors don’t clash.
Gracias Spud.
Why did they put it off for so long?

Good photos of Verkhorutye, which has just finished repairs and overhaul.
Did not know where else to ask:
Can the F-22 carry the AIM-9X yet?
in august 2008 the birds(su-25) bombed the factory were they were produced(tbilisi)
Yeah, it wasn’t really hardcore bombing though. They hit something on the periphery of the plant, no serious damage took place to the assembly line AFAIK.
Compared to say, American bombing tendencies, it was downright mild. 😀
Isn’t there a contract for 16 Su-25UBM ? Where are they going to be built ?:confused:
PS: Nvm i think i found where , Ulan-Ude , right ?
Yeah only place that builds Su-25 in Russia.

Severodvinsk will get Fisik-1 torpedoes.
Su-34 doesnt use L-175 unless you have some really good proof of that. It uses L-265.
I thought some of them had L-175B
new built or just upgrating them
Upgrade. Single seat Su-25 is only built in Tbilsi (or used to be, they havn’t made a wholly new example since the USSR collapsed).
What I would take issue with is this statement though:
True, the plan as it stands now is pretty sound, but a lot of time and money was wasted along the extraordinarily convoluted way which led there. Some projects which should not have survived are still around and most of the others were delayed more than necessary.
Defense projects in Russia have always been fundamentally tied to political and industrial standing (especially following collapse of USSR), so it is not surprising. Not sure where they got the idea that is it so disciplined and systemic.
