Russia’s Flying Tanks in Action: The Su-25 and Ka-52

Russia’s close air support (CAS) doctrine relies on two powerful platforms: the Su-25 “Frogfoot” and the Ka-52 “Alligator.” The Su-25, often compared to the American A-10, is a rugged, heavily armored attack jet built to survive intense ground fire while delivering devastating strikes with rockets, bombs, and cannons. Meanwhile, the Ka-52, one of the most advanced attack helicopters in the world, combines speed, maneuverability, and cutting-edge sensors to hunt and destroy enemy positions with precision-guided missiles and rapid-fire autocannons.
