Apok Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 How come we dont have rear facing gunpods on Su25? They even have been seen on Su22 in this way.
G.J.S Posted May 10, 2021 Posted May 10, 2021 SPPU-6, and SPPU-22, are the pods in question. The -22 is the heavier of the two, and can be mounted either forward firing or rearward. The only reason to have it rear firing is suppression (not targeted) when the aircraft has overflown an enemy position. In the case of both systems, the barrels can be depressed to a maximum of 45* down. - - - The only real mystery in life is just why kamikaze pilots wore helmets? - - -
