Su-25 footage

Thought this might interest some people here, some stills and video by a Russian Su-25 pilot during the 1990s
The photos are posted on English Russia and can be found here

SSC,

That is awesome! Really cool footage, great find. EnglishRussia is a great site for wasting time... if you don't mind wading through a lot of crap, and I do mean a lot.

The photos were great. The time spent waiting for the video to buffer was longer than the actual video on my PC so I gave up trying to watch it.

Targan that's a shame because once you get past the opening scenes of landscapes, the footage is of Su-25s in flight including attack runs, take off and landing runs and at one point they are in formation with several other Su-25s.

SSC,

In the second video there was also a plane doing barrel rolls alongside @5:35. was that a Fulcrum?

Targan - if you are having trouble loading them, my suggestion is view the third one, “461 SHAP” – full version. It's got some of the best footage edited in.

Good suggestion. Just watched the 3rd video, impressive stuff. It might be that last time I tried to watch the videos there was heavy load on my ISP's servers or something.
