According to the report, Russian propaganda channels have disseminated information about the crash of a Su-25 military aircraft, which is on the balance sheet of the Russian Armed Forces, the Telegram channel " Ukraine365 " reports. At the same time, the author of the Z-channel Fighter-bomber, who positions himself as a specialist in military aviation, wrote that the Su-25 crashed, but kept silent about its causes. According to him, the pilot was saved and "everything is fine." However, on the Internet, this "specialist" was immediately told in response that the loss of the Su-25 is not at all normal, but rather very painful for Russia, since their domestic aircraft industry can no longer produce attack aircraft of this type. Another channel, Avia hub, also wrote about the accident, adding that allegedly “there was no fire impact.” In turn, the Russian Ministry of Defense did not report anything about the incident with the attack aircraft.

The report said that the secrecy with which the Russians are shrouding the crash of a military plane cannot help but suggest that there is something fishy about this case, and that they are simply trying to hide the truth from the general public. By the way, the crash of the Russian attack aircraft was also commented on by Ukrainian blogger Alexander Kovalenko, known as the Evil Odessit. "While everyone is watching the latest episode of the Israel-Iran skirmish, the Russian occupation army is out of Su-25s. The Su-25 is an attack aircraft that Russia is unable to produce, and therefore, this loss is irretrievable. At this rate, the Russian Aerospace Forces may at some point be left without classic attack aircraft," he emphasized. The Su-25, often referred to by its NATO reporting name “Frogfoot,” has been a workhorse for Russian and Soviet forces since the 1980s, designed to provide close air support in heavily defended environments.

However, as this incident illustrates, even these heavily armored jets remain vulnerable to Ukraine’s layered air defense network, which continues to prove effective against low-flying attack aircraft. The Su-25 is a tough bird, built to soak up damage and keep flying. Unlike fast jets that rely on speed and maneuverability to evade threats, the Frogfoot often finds itself deep in the thick of combat, operating at low altitudes where MANPADS teams are waiting for the perfect shot. This is where countermeasures come into play. Su-25 pilots deploy flares—intense bursts of heat meant to deceive infrared-guided missiles.
