Russian Su-25 in Chechnya (1995)

[crysis90war]

Hey kids, who talk about russian vs american, let me tell you something. There won't be any winner, only loosers. If somebody lived a war, I will answer him. Others go fuck away

[TATARSTAN59500]

many su-25 resist of sa-18 and ols strela shot by chechen 

[thrashmetalfiend]

I love how this video was shot in 1995 yet the music sounds like it's from 1985.

[Havoc101182]

That's why Russian Army "invaded" in Сhechnya

[TheCaucasianEagle]

these "brave' pilots killed so many people, even own russians, bombing everywhere, hope they will get "rewards"

[90magor]

russians in checchnya killed and raped more civilians than armed chechen wariors..... russians bombed all grozny!!!!

[Arnee01901]

@90magor when rusians bombed grozny thre were no civilians. grozny was a base of bandits and terrorists.

[TheCaucasianEagle]

@Arnee01901 dont try bullshit people overhere, i was living in grozny that time, and i can tell you that mostly their own russians stayed in Grosny, and therefore mostly russian citizens from Grozny was causilities of that airstrikes

[TheCaucasianEagle]

@Arnee01901 dont try bullshit people overhere, i was living in grozny that time, and i can tell you that mostly their own russians stayed in Grosny, and therefore mostly russian citizens from Grozny was causilities of that airstrikes

[Havoc101182]

@TheCaucasianEagle maybe you say how this "citizens" cut off heads to russian citizens?

[TheCaucasianEagle]

@Havoc101182 i haven't seen that civilians cutting russian civilians heads off, i was among those citizens, but i saw how russian army killed 350000 civilians including your own russians, you can ask these russian who survived and flew out from Chechnya

[Metalicalypse]

Thanks to russians for getting rid of that fucking chechen scums.

[KingprestorJohn]

Mr. ooUooU,

I suppose you'll also tell me why there are almost no Serbian churches or serbians left in Kosovo--since the peacefull muslims burned them all out. The KLA are not freedom fighters--they are terrorists.

[KingprestorJohn]

ooUooU, I suppose you'll tell me. Where did you get your view of it? From the media?

[KingprestorJohn]

Awesome ground support. To our Russian and Serbian brethren in arms against islamic extremism--respect, from an american.

[hyppopotamm]

Хороший самолёт. Очень удачный. Его надо бы продолжать выпускать по чуть-чуть дорабатывая, а власти всё хотят "принципиально новый". Зачем?

[phantom7irk]

@hyppopotamm Затем, что морально устарел. Есть разница между усовершенствованным старым и принципиально новым. И эта разница в реальных боевых условиях может быть в жизнь. Враг не дремлет и нам за ним надо успевать в плане военных технологий. И так отстали.

[typhoonzsmk]

Самолет-солдат. Этим все сказано.

[EmperorofTerra]

Irony: Tbilsi Aircraft Manufacturing, the mother of the Su-25 built 800 out of 1000 Su-25s in total and it was bombed by it's own weapons in 2008.

[botchedonce]

I love Russian planes and armor. They just look tough! The Su-25 looks like it can deliver a ton of munitions and take a beating and return to fight again. Another great plane from the Russkies. Good job Russia!

[wild50gunner]

the SU25 is a great plane the thing is a freaking tank those things have had a engine riped out by SAMs and still made it back to base its kind of like a smaller, faster, russianer, less hevily armed A-10

[Ivan1the]

Ntsbhdb, не хватит чужие мувики перевыкладывать? 

[islamiscoming09]

you name killing civilians : fighting ???? chechenya is unconquerable , mujahidin will kill you dunkies

[Heightofhate]

@islamiscoming09

1) Chechnya is already conquered

2) Chechnya is under full country - mainly by pro-Russian Chechens

3) Chechnya depends on the money of the controlling party - if there's money, Chechnya is controlled, if there's a lack of money - there are riots and hostilities.

That's that simple.

[islamiscoming09]

@Heightofhate

1) no , chechen let you in chechnya just for one reason : chechnya is your cemetery...

2) the majority of chechens killers are chundrens and womans ... the majority of russians killers are soldiers ....so i unterstand now the meaning of conquered ...when russians have fighting mujahiddin in grozny 1995 face to face russian have escaping from chechnya

5) yes if you have really conquered chechnya you don't need pro-russian gouvernement for fighting in your place....

[Heightofhate]

@islamiscoming09 1) Chechnya is a Russian cemetry? Is that why ONE MILLION Chechens are so much complaining that Russians killed 200 THOUSAND of them while Russian losses didn't exceed 12 THOUSAND?

Add to this the fact that there are 180 MILLION Russians worldwide.

2) The majority of Chechen killers were women? Great! Good that Russians killed so many of them - that was right?

3) Grozny was taken by Russians in 1995 and in 2000. Chechens tried to take Grozny in 1921 - but failed.

[islamiscoming09]

@Heightofhate

6) if the war is ended and you have conquered chechnya tell me why weekly you have soldiers killed by mujahiidin

[Ntsbhdb]

@islamiscoming09 That´s bull. Combat operations in Chechnya has stopped 2 years ago, Chechnya is fully under Russian control. The only problematic regionas are Dagestan and Ingushetia. Look at the leaders of second Chechen war - every single one of the, except Umanov who is dieing anyway, is dead. There are only few guerilla fighters which are small in numbers, have no equipment, have no foreign support and they will eventually rot and die.

[Heightofhate]

@islamiscoming09 4) When Chechnya was NOT under Russian control Russia needed its Army to control it. Now Chechnya IS under Russian control - and the fighting against islamists and carried out by pro-Russian Chechens themselves, by the local police, simply said - and that's a sign Chechnya is under control.

5) Russians have about a 100 both combat and non-combat each year - it's nothing! Russia loses about 30,000 in car accidents EACH YEAR - compared to this, losses in Chechnya are nothing.

[islamiscoming09]

@Heightofhate

7) i hope that russians don't forget the victory of mujahiidin in the war of 1979 in afghanistan....mujahidin will kill you dunkies

[Heightofhate]

@islamiscoming09 In Afghanistan, not Russia and Russians, but the USSR and Soviet soldiers - many of whom were ethnic Chechens, including the first Chechen separatists leader Dudayev - fought against islamists financed by the USA (who's the main enemy of Islam worldwide, thus, those islamists were just whores) together with the Government of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan.

The decision to leave Afghanistan was taken in 1985, in 86 - the talks, in 87 - the pact signed, in 89 - withdrawal

[SymAmineC8H11N]

@Heightofhate if this were the case then why would the kremlin or any other country in general, want to have such a small & obscure territory just to dish out money to the local population?? no there's more to it than that, either russia's ego or potential mineral & oil reserves.

[Suyamu]

@SymAmineC8H11N

Chechen separatists wanted more than just independent Chechnya - they wanted more parts of the Caucasus - as seen in their attack on Dagestan before 2nd Chechen war.

Chechnya was also breeding ground for Terrorists and criminals - and these people know no borders.

Having control over Chechnya means these problems can be fought at their source.

[Heightofhate]

@SymAmineC8H11N Of course, there is more to this: 1) Genocide of ethnic Russians in Chechnya from 1991 to 1994; 2) Stealing of about 10 BILLION bucks from the Russian economy through fake documents by Chechens working in the banks around Russia; 3) Kidnapping people, robberies and burglaries, as well as sexual violence against Russians living around Chechnya not far from its border; 4) Non-payment by Chechnya for gas and electricity during years; 5) Attacking of Russia in summer 1999.

[ReDDDgo]

How it is possible to name terrorists who kill including Chechens, guerrillas? The terrorist has no nationality. The terrorist cannot be the guerrilla. The terrorist is the terrorist.

[Fuck4everyou]

burn  fucking kafirs in hell

[Heightofhate]

@Fuck4everyou

[spinfrak]

"Frogfoot" can sure take a heck of a lot damage. So can the "Warthog" both have the same role as well. Can complete understand the chatter after a hit like that.

[tropickman]

WHy do they yak so much?!

[Ntsbhdb]

They don´t - it was filmed back in 95 and the camera wasn´t that good so the audio recording isn´t at it´s best.

[Muddach]

they don,t say "yak" they say BLYA it mean fuck

[Krishna0666]

@tropickman

One of pilots got a hit (may be it's his plane at 5:35 )

So he is cursing and other pilots trying to calm him down :)

[Arnee01901]

I think americans don"t understend what Us soldiers in Iraq terrorists like Chech. terrorists are fighting for a money not for them god.

[grvc44]

what happento that su 25? why its tail like been hit from airsoft bullet?

[Ntsbhdb]

Probably that´s damage caused by Chechnyan AA fire.

[grvc44]

they fly to low?

[Ntsbhdb]

dunno

[AleKaban]

And Russian pilots best in the world!

[DaimothCL]

That's actually not true. Russian pilots, on average, spend 10% the flying time USAF pilots do.

Lately they've been trying to be better about it, but there's still no comparison.

[Ntsbhdb]

Well considering that only reports we have are that since end of Yeltsin´s precidency Putin ordered dramaticly rise fly hours of Russian pilots I don´t know how you can compare that. We have absolutelly no data on how many hours do avarage Russian fighter pilots fly (and reports about USAF are many times different). So basicly, it´s only your assumption.

[AleKaban]

DaimothCL What is not true? I am Russian and for me our pilots are the best in the world. Your pilots are not interested me)

[AleKaban]

SU-25 magnificent machine!

[OoandyXx]

Go i luv this airplane

[h0ochiMan]

Derjites parni....

[ProjectGF]

Ruskaya Mashina!!

[Ome99]

WOW, for an airpane to take such damage yet still be able to make it back to the airfield and perfectly land, thats one tough plane, and a skilled pilot for flighing and landng with his plane on such a condition.

[RomaVintorez]

хех на 4:50 сказали: всё отымели

[AndrewPowergo]

Everything ingenious in the simple

[kibabiba]

2:11 cool!

[Ainura11287]

cool???? ty pridurok?????????????????

[locolopelocolope]

0:14 AA-8?

[Ntsbhdb]

Probably Kh-25. There wasn´t need for air-to-air rockets in Chechen war.

[locolopelocolope]

Well.... I found a couple of pictures of KH-25 and they are a little bit "larger", and with only 4 front-wings. Then I check some AA-8 pictures.....and they match with the missile carried by this SU-25 (thin, 8 front-wings). Now I´m curious, because, as you said, there was no need for air-to-air missiles in that conflict...as long as we know!

Great video !

[kibabiba]

tank! Can stand a direct hit of a missile)))

[julianbocian]

Awesome! They are pretty shot up. Pretty very much shot up. But still flying. Nothing like a good Russian machine. I Love Suchoi!!!

[BorshCaen]

Военные летчики России - вылучшие! Пока вы в небе Родины - мы как у Христа за пазухой! :)

[robin01086]

Здорова.

[weallliveinusa]

Su-25 are literally flying tanks.

They can withstand horrible damages and still fight and fly.

Genious planes. Unlike the Western shit.

[Ntsbhdb]

Exactly. Too bad that our army sold them to Georgia and Armenia.

[tropickman]

Was that a miss at 2:26, when he hit the road, or did he aim at it?!

[Ntsbhdb]

First of all, I´m not the one who filmed this - I´m not even Russian but I thought that this video is amazing and since nobody has uploaded it here on youtube I did the job. And for your question - as you could see, there was a some kind of factory or something nearby so we probably saw only part of explosions. I don´t think that pilot would miss something that big.

[armoredturkey]

that looks like rocket fire or maybe HE 30. rounds.

for a spread weapon like that, a hit like that is dead on.

Im not sure if the road was the target, But i think that considering that there are multiple Su-25s in the video, there may have been a wide range of targets in that area, perhaps the road was thrown in as well.

[Ntsbhdb]

It makes sense. But this video is from first Chechen war so I guess we´ll never know. But whatever - enjoy the video.

[Heightofhate]

@Ntsbhdb I see nothing bad in selling any military hardware to Armenia for Russia - Armenians are old and devoted Russian friends and will never act against Russia.

As to Georgia, Russia hasn't sold Georgia anything, but the plant where Su-25s were assembled in Soviet times was located in Georgia, thus, they had a few jets after the re-organization of the USSR into the CIS. They inherited them.

[Ntsbhdb]

@Heightofhate You seem to misunderstood what I wrote. I´m from Slovakia and we had in possetion something about 13 Su-25 till 2001-2003 when we sold them all to the Georgia and Armenia, bytheway horrible underpriced.

[thomaspruzina]

@Ntsbhdb You forgot to mention that ownership of those planes was that time expensive and wasteful. Just ,,having" those and maintaining them operationable cost millions EUR every year. We better sell those Mig's from Russians aswell, no matter what price. I dont give a shit if NATO wants us to fight for ,,their" oil, I dont really give a shit. Only thing we could be afraid of was Hungarian possible attack in case we would leave NATO. Anyway go Russians go!

[Heightofhate]

@Ntsbhdb I even know why you sold them to Georgia at such prices and who told you to do it. ))

I've been to Slovakia many times, love this country.

[Ntsbhdb]

@Heightofhate At a time we sold them, Saakashvili was still in opposition. I guess it was something like when we sold Su-22 (also underpriced, of course). The reason was simple - bribes from the buyer to generals, ministry of defence etc. There are now legends about company Viper which sold these 22s to some African country, that company was established few months before the deal, although it has worst prices it won in competition and than after the deal was made and done it ceased to exist.

[Heightofhate]

@Ntsbhdb I didn't even know Slovakia sold Su-25 to Georgia in the 90s and had ever possessed Su-22 in its history before they were sold to some African countries.

I try to monitor the world weapons market and love reading about its history but this information is a suprise to me.

[Ntsbhdb]

@Heightofhate We sold them to Armenia and Georgia, Su-22 were sold to Angola. Pretty please, don´t ask on the price we sold them at, it makes my head explode every time I remember it.

[DaimothCL]

Hmm. Nerd rage much?

The USAF is the most powerful and technologically advanced Air Force in the world, and has by far the most money to spend. The F-22 and F-35 will remain unparalleled until, estimates say, 2040.

[Ntsbhdb]

Dunno - you don´t like pissed and if you´re nerd....Well I don´t think I´m the one who should make that assumption. As of now USAF is most advanced air force because it is only air force which operates the 5th generation fighter plane. Bytheway - Korea, Russia, China, India, Brasil, Japan - all of these countries have projects on their 5th gen fighter planes. Russians will fly their first this year so that your unparalleled till 2040 argument is just riddicolious. Yeah and F-35?

[Ntsbhdb]

I´ll be honest with you - overrated pice of crap. It´s aerodynamic is below avarage level of 4th gen fighter plane and it´s stealth basicly don´t exist because on the sides RCS of the plane jumps to the avarage RCS of 4th generation fighter plane. This plane can be used only as ground support, not for air space domination.

[Ntsbhdb]

*you don´t look pissed

[mussdatsein]

The F-22 and F-35 are weak allroundtalents. bad concept, worse planes... and who told u russian pilots only train 10% of american pilot trainingtime??? russia has a lots of borders. russian pilots fly for real, not for training.... read ur comments in other videos too... u don't know nothing about russia and the world. in the moment usa doesn't have the best planes, tanks or ships... for every american best product there is a better alternative from other contries

[DaimothCL]

That's really not true. Do your research. The US spends 20x what the Russians do on its military. Russia is behind the UK, Japan and China too. The US has, by far, the largest and most technologically advanced air force.

Russia has decent technology, superb tanks, but they've been suffering badly in air technology after the collapse of the USSR because of a general lack of funding. More money = better technology.

The US has more combat experience too, as it's in two wars at the moment.

[Ntsbhdb]

With this I agree, however how many hours do RUssian pilots fly knows only Russian army - I was looking for those info but I haven´t found nothing.

[dewey911]

who gives a shit what america spends on its military! US is sinking so far into debt i dont see why they are spending billions on their military. US is paying billions to china weekly just to cover the interest! i see where this is all going.

[Mattc23q]

@dewey911 America spends 4.7% of their total GDP on the Military and Armed forces, Russia spends 4.3% of their GDP on the Military and Armed forces.

Source: World Bank, World Development Indicators, CIA Factbook.

[EtherealN]

@Mattc23q Russia does not have a 1 trillion dollar deficit and 100% GDP/debt ratio, though. ;)

[Mattc23q]

@EtherealN America only has a 95% debt ratio, which is common since capatalism is a win or lose system. Russias Debt is 9.5% of there gdp which is uncommon for a Republic

[grvc44]

yeah russia has lot of borders, but when it came to experience russia is far behind from US, US pilot has much better skill than the russian.

[NSLV527]

LOL the F-22's and 35's are not weak at all. They're fast, heavilly armed and, most importantly, almost completely stealthed. Any enemy plane would be shot down miles away from being able to see it. And the United States DOES make the best tanks ans ships and planes. They have stealthed ships, stealthed planes, and the M1 Abrams which is at LEAST comparable to the leopard tank. And when it comes to auto loaders, an abram crew can reload 3 times in the same amount of time an auto loader loads 1.

[38602]

F-22 is the best plane... If so, why you, guys, refuse to buy it?

And did you try to reload in moving tank?

[NSLV527]

I dont reload tanks, so personally no, altho the Abrams is apparently quite spacious and comfortable. And what r u talking about "you guys" refusing to buy it? If ur assuming that i am american, and that by "guys" u mean the US military, the 165 or so F-22's should prove otherwise, more than all of russia's "up to date" fighters combined. Also, the United States wants to replace fighters with fewer fighters, reducing the amount of pilots and aircrew used while maintaining air superiority.

[Muddach]

you wisehead show me any not-up-to date american jet which is able to flight and landing with such almost smashed tail and engines like SU-25 on this video.

[NSLV527]

The goal of American jets is to not get hit in the first place, but an A-10 can take one hell of a beating.

[Ntsbhdb]

IAF F-15 once landed without a wing.

watch?v=ZpwyU30g7rI

Basicly in cases like this it is just and only about pure luck, depends where the fragments of either bullets or rocket debris smash, which components are damaged, how badly is structure of the plane damaged etc.

[Lachausis]

@Muddach A-10 can take much punishment. One landed with 1/3rd of its wing gone

[pozuzen]

I guess chechnian guerillas responded with A-A heavy gun

Greetings from Lima Peru

[weallliveinusa]

There was only one single Su-25 shot down during the First Chechen War.

On the other hand, Su-25 killed thousands and thousands of Chechen guerillas.

You're so funny, dull boy.

[lima90]

he's right you know.

[Heightofhate]

@lima90 He's right Chechens responded but he doesn't know the response was outmost inefficient.
