27.Depress the gun pods to the desired angle by watching the gun reticle on the HUD.
28.Maneuver the aircraft to place the reticle over the target.
29.Fire!
30.Well attack the next target with only two pods. To do so, set the Ripple Quantity switch to По 2 (Po 2) by pressing LCTRL + Space.
31.For this run, well switch to Programmed Point Tracking mode, which is enabled automatically when the laser is active and guns pods are selected.
In this mode, the guns will automatically stay fixed to the aimed point. If we fly the aircraft carefully without inducing any roll, the entire burst will land in one spot.
32.Lets disable automatic burst cut-off by pressing LShift + C. The guns will now fire as long as the trigger is held down.
33.Running in on the target.

36.Press the trigger to fire and hold it down until the attack is complete.
37.After a minute of activation, the laser turns off automatically to cool down.
38.Well attack the next target with all four SPPU pods. To do so, set the Ripple Quantity switch to По-4.
39.The lower part of the WCS Panel contains three windows that display the amount of ammunition remaining as follows:
-outer external gun pods
-inner external gun pods
-internal gun
Note that the ammunition remaining is displayed in quarters:
K fully loaded
3/4 75% remaining
1/2 50% remaining
H3 (Russian NZ) -- Low
//// -- None
40.Running in on target
For this run, we will use the Shkval electro-optical targeting system to aim the gun pods. The guns vertical position will be controlled by the WCS to stay on the Shkval aim point.
41.Activate the Shkval system by pressing O.
42.Search for and designate the target by either ground stabilizing over the target area (indicated by КС on the TV monitor) or actually locking the target (indicated by АС on the TV monitor).
43.Enage the autopilot by pressing A or LALT + 6. The SAU-8 flight control system will now fly the plane directly toward the target.
44.Activate the laser.
As you can see, the SPPU pods are automatically tracking the target in the vertical plane. Combined with the autopilot, targeting is completely automatic in both horizontal and vertical planes. All that is left for us to do is press the trigger once the LA (Launch Authorized) cue is displayed.
45.Press and hold the trigger until the attack is complete.
46.Press LALT + 9 to disengage the autopilot.
47.As you can see, the Su-25T is armed with a wide array of effective gun solutions and gun employment options that allow it to engage many types of ground targets.
48.You can now take over by pressing the ESC key and conduct some more strafing runs.
