Su-25
The Sukhoi Su-25 (NATO reporting name 'Frogfoot') is a Soviet-designed single-seat jet close air support aircraft developed by the Sukhoi Design Bureau. It entered service with the Soviet Air Forces in 1981 and is built to deliver direct fire support to ground troops from short, unprepared airfields. The type has been operated by many post-Soviet states and continues to serve in the air forces of Ukraine and Russia, among others.

Ukraine intercepts only about 60% of Russia's new jet-powered Geran drones
Ukraine is shooting down roughly 60% of Russia's new jet-powered Geran drones, compared with 90–95% against other models, Air Force spokesperson Yuriy Ignat told the Financial Times. The faster, better-armed aircraft bypass Ukrainian air defenses more often than their propeller-driven predecessors, and pilots are increasingly being forced to engage them with aircraft cannons. President Zelensky said countering jet drones is the country's number one issue, with 67 Ukrainian companies working on countermeasures.
