Suchoj Su-25 (v kódu NATO Frogfoot) je sovětský jednomístný proudový letoun určený k poskytování přímé letecké podpory (close air support, CAS) pozemním jednotkám (ničením tanků, obrněných vozidel a dalších pozemních a případně i jiných cílů). Na základě analýz byla zjištěna potřeba specializovaného letadla pro přímou palebnou podporu, podobného jako byl Il-2 Šturmovik nebo Iljušin Il-10 z období druhé světové války a po ní, tj. silně chráněného a s vysokou palebnou silou.

The Sukhoi Su-25 Grach (Russian: Грач (rook); NATO reporting name: Frogfoot) is a single-seat, twin-engine jet aircraft developed in the Soviet Union by Sukhoi. It was designed to provide close air support for the Soviet Ground Forces. The first prototype made its maiden flight on 22 February 1975. After testing, the aircraft went into series production in 1978 at Tbilisi in the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic.

The basic version of the aircraft was produced at Factory 31, at Tbilisi, in the Soviet Republic of Georgia. Between 1978 and 1989, 582 single-seat Su-25s were produced in Georgia, not including aircraft produced under the Su-25K export program. This variant of the aircraft represents the backbone of the Russian Air Force‘s Su-25 fleet, currently the largest in the world.The aircraft experienced a number of accidents in operational service caused by system failures attributed to salvo firing of weapons. In the wake of these incidents, use of its main armament, the 240 mm S-24 rocket, was prohibited. In its place, the FAB-500 500 kg general-purpose high-explosive bomb became the primary armament.
