Gordon & Komissarov. The Su-25 ground attack aircraft made its first flight on February 22, 1972. After five years of tests the aircraft reached its definitive configuration with new engines, a revised airframe and new armament. Gradually the Su-25 started a family. The Su-25UB combat trainer came first, followed by the single-seater and two-seater built for export as the Su-25K/Su-25UBK. The Su-25 has been widely exported, serving with air forces in Europe, Asia, the Middle East, Africa and South America. 496 pages, 600+ photos, 8½"x 11", hardcover.
