LockOn: Flaming Cliffs

Damage Model

Damage modeling of Su-25T is simulated as never before due to a detailed 3D model of damage and advanced physical modeling. When damaged, the aircraft can break up into many separate pieces, each of which continues to move on its own trajectory.

Avionics and aircraft systems

The Su-25T cockpit and instruments have a great deal in common with those of the standard Su-25. The primary differences are HUD symbology and the IT-23M television monitor (TVM).

The day-time TVM is used for target acquisition using the "Shkval" targeting system.

At night, the TVM is used with the "Mercury" night vision pod.

The HUD is used to show information regarding flight and weapon modes: navigation, close air combat, air to ground combat

Weapons

The Su-25T is equipped with the following weapons:

• Air-to-air missiles with infrared seekers: R-60 and R-73.
• Built-in 30 mm gun system.
• Unguided air-to-surface rockets.
• Unguided bombs.
• Laser-guided missiles and bombs using TVM and laser range-finder / designator for day-time use. Such weapons include: KAB-500Kp, Kh-25ML and Kh-29L.
• Infrared-guided missiles using TVM and laser range-finder. Such weapons include: Kh-29T.
• Anti-radar missiles can be targeted with the "Phantasmagoria" targeting pod.
• Removable SPPU-22 gun systems.
• The Low Light Level imaging pod, "Mercury" can be carried underneath the fuselage.
• Acquisition and targeting systems for the "Vihr" air-to-ground missile system.

The "Vihr" missile system was developed primarily to destroy armor. As most anti-tank missiles, "Vihr" missiles have a 2-channel control system; that's why the flight trajectory has a spiral flight path. The targeting system allows the pilot to correct the aiming point while the missile is still in flight. To the right is an example of what a "Vihr" smoke trail looks like.
