You did not ask for it? So you are one of the fools that wants already declare a winner of a debate instead of keeping a discussion fair and equal for evaluation of capabilities and limitations? The problem is not A-10 or Su-25 or which is better in what or what philosphies they have been designed by, what you care is that a debate goes the way you want it to go so others have to tell all the fancy words you want to here to aggree with you and your biased opinion... Just one of these kind of people that have no buisness being on forums.

Yes, the Su-34 can do SEAD missions like no other aircraft but no Su-34 is not a CAS aircraft like A-10 or Su-25. There is a reason why Su25 and A-10 have armor to the extent they have and Strike Aircrafts like F-15E or Su-34 do not. F-15E is less fidelity aircraft for the job of F-111 while Su-34 is the less fidelity but with more effeciency of the job of Su-24.

That is an AMASE POD, no DIRCM installed. This pots are modular based, they can recieve DIRCM's, but that version does not have them. It has MAWS (Missile Approach Warning Sensor) and additional FLARE dispensers. Also there are very little amount of such AMASE pods.
