Su-25 in battle action footage

[Captain Chuck]

Headmounted camera in cockpit of SU-25 SM while flying in real combat. From this you can see how accurately DCS portrays our flight simulator. It looks like a DCS mission!

Unfortunately, my video file is too big for DCS forum so I must reduce the size and lose some clarity maybe.

 

[VZ_342]

Very nice! Thx for sharing!

[VIKBELL]

Unfortunately  that the target's are not pixels.

Well if you like that you gonna love this

That would be AUTO-EJECT! It must have been a SAM.

Close... a powerline from what I have been reading.

 

[Jethro11]

Yes, I read power line too.  Is there an auto eject on the 25?

Su-25 has a manual ejection seat. 

Seats with automatic actuation of extraction for a dangerous roll and height were on the Yak-38 and Yak-141

The ejection seat AUTO EJECT uses collision detection to AUTO-EJECT in this case.

The su 25 does not have a collision detection system.
In the video, the pilot pulled the handles of the ejection seat.

It's not his only delusion, sadly. He's convinced that technology is far more advanced than it actually is. Su-25 in particular is a rather simple aircraft, even in its latest version. I think it has a radar altimeter, but not any sort of GPWS.

That would explain the clear-and-straight cut vertical stabilizer.

Really wish they would build a full fidelity Su-25 like the A-10C II, I love that aircraft.

I did not see him or her pull a handle as mentioned it appears to be AUTO-EJECT. The EJECTION SEAT has a sensor which detects collision or the moment before a collision. Russian aircraft have very good EJECTION SEATS they also feature something that is used for Navigation which the aircraft use. I think the SU25 in that video may have an equivalent of an ACES III.

Delusion sadly, right and you know so much do you not? Ejection Seats all have GPS for ORIENTATION particularly in the event of an INVERTED EJECTION. The Mig29 has such features so of course so would other aircraft like the SU25. Watch videos of Mig29's and SU27 Ejections and you'll see the seat in some of them fire and ORIENTATE prior to the chute being fired.

Trust me, I think most of us on the team would love it as well, but I am not sure we could do one right now, its still highly protected.

It would be strange to classify the Su-25 while allowing you to make the Hind, seeing as the only major system it has over it is the Klen-PS and maybe the INS (which, as in most Russian aircraft of the time, has very little input from the pilot). Then again, government don't always make sense.

Their Navigation is primarily GPS not INS. They could make a full Modelled SU25 or SU27 there is enough information I think for them to model them. 

[Dragon1-1]

Sigh... again, the original Su-25 was introduced in 1981, GPS didn't exist then, nevermind GLONASS, which is what Russian aircraft use. You do not know what you're talking about. Su-25 is a very simple plane, with a basic INS, a depressible sight based on radar altitude and limited (though perfectly adequate for its role) avionics. The modernized version is the Su-25M, and if I meant that one, I would have written Su-25M.

  I would think by this point his bs only works on (rare) new guys. Anybody that's been here more than a couple weeks knows to ignore him

[Dragon1-1]

New guys are the only reason I wrote that.
