By Stalin's glorious mustache, while in previous years of Team Yankee you could leave this parked on some backwater airfield, you ''NEED'' this thing in Team Yankee V2. With competition from the cheaper, but more vulnerable, [[SU-22 Fitter]] in the new Warsaw Pact book the SU-25 may no longer the best choice. Further play testing will be needed.

	While previously considered the poor man's counterpart to the A-10, the Frogfoot now plays an important role as a tank hunter against the new NATO super tanks.

			===Soviet===
	Soviet, WARPACT and Oilwar commanders should make ample use of the Frog's heavy anti-tank missiles to keep heavy tanks honest. A flight of 4-6 Frogs are now a practically mandatory investment in order to fight M1a1s and Challengers. Clocking in at 14 or 21 points, these battletoads will watch your back while you rush B for uncle Joe.

			===Czechoslovakian===

			The new Warsaw Pact book includes Czech piloted Su-25s for their forces instead of Soviet ones.
			These feature improved skill of 4+ in exchange for lower morale, which is irrelevant for aircraft.
			Cost is the same as the Soviet version. Play testing will be needed to compare these with the [[SU-22 Fitter]].

	Also, if you're wondering why the hell it's called a 'Frogfoot', it's because that was its NATO reporting name. The idea is that the word is something unlikely to come up in casual conversation so if you said 'frogfoot' everybody would know what you're talking about. The "F" means it was an attack or fighter aircraft, and two-syllable means it was jet powered.

	Although the "Frogfoot" is depicted (so far) as being exclusively flown by the Soviet Air Force, the Czechoslovakians had some of them, too. After the end of the Cold War and the breakup of Czechoslovakia, the two successor states, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, each took possession of some of their former country's Su-25s.

The aircraft has seen heavy use on both sides of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

	The main armament of the Frogfoot is the KH-25 ATGM, boasting Guided and HEAT, meaning that it will never take penalties from range. Combined with Brutal, this makes the Kh-25 an excellent choice for turning infantry or (probably) light vehicles such as Chapperals inside out. Otherwise, AT27 ensures an auto penetration against most tanks at any range, and 2+ firepower ensures that anything hit stays dead. The downside to this undeniably powerful missile is simply that the USSR has other FAR more cost-effective options. Other weapons can be effectively ignored unless you're flexing on someone who forgot to bring anti-air.

	Being unpredictable as all aircraft are, the Frog acts as a sword of Damocles to punish NATO players for getting cocky with their super tanks. While the new tanks still get a 6+ bail save vs the AT27 missiles, ~~they~~ still have great odds of knocking out an 18 point monster head on. In a pinch, the ~~Frogs~~ can be ~~instead~~ used to winkle out dug in infantry in support of an assault, but the 8" safety distance is a bummer.

	Savvy pilots will learn to chart out ~~weakspots~~ in the opponent's AA umbrella (remember kids, premeasuring is not a war crime) and thread the needle to snipe tanks at maximum range. ~~28inches~~ goes a long way towards hiding your somewhat fragile planes away from AA guns (but probably not missiles).
