-This may seem like a step down from the [[Su-25T]] or [[Su-39]] at first, given that you lose the venerable [[9K127 Vikhr]] air-to-ground missile pods, but between the SOLT-25 thermal tracking system and the Kh-39MT missiles, it's at worst a lateral move. The Kh-38MT missiles allow you to snipe ground targets from well over 20 km away, while the SOLT-25 allows for active tracking of targets, which makes taking out moving targets infinitely easier. It can also be used in a pinch to try to shoot down planes, but don't hold your breath there. While it loses a hardpoint compared to many other Su-25 variants, it helps to keep your loadout light anyway. Rolling with nothing but Kh-38s and R-73s is very viable in both RB and SB, as their incredible range turns you into a tank sniper and allows you to return to base for reloads extremely quickly.
