The Sukhoi Su-25 Grach (Russian: Грач (rook); NATO reporting name: Frogfoot) is a subsonic, single-seat, twin-engine jet aircraft developed in the Soviet Union by Sukhoi. It was designed to provide close air support for the Soviet Ground Forces.

The Su-25T (Tankovy) is a dedicated antitank variant, which has been combat-tested with notable success in Chechnya.

Designed on the Su-25UB frame, the rear seat was removed to accommodate additional avionics giving the SU-25T all-weather and night attack capability. In addition to the full arsenal of weapons of the standard Su-25, the Su-25T can employ the KAB-500Kr TV-guided bomb and the semi-active laser-guided Kh-25ML (and its variants) thanks to the Schkval optical TV and Prichal laser rangefinder/target designator housed in its enlarged nose cone. It can also carry Vikhr laser-guided, tube-launched missiles, which is its main antitank armament. For night operations, the low-light TV Merkuriy pod system can be carried under the fuselage.
