Su-25NG
The most advanced, versatile and capable multi-role aircraft available today. Evolved from the proven Su-25.
The Next Generation Attacker.
Su-25NG is the most advanced, versatile and capable multi-role aircraft available today. Evolved from the proven Su-25, the NG delivers new technologies and capabilities, whilst building on the aircraft's durable and versatile design.
The inherent capabilities of the Su-25 — coupled with the range of new mission sensors and equipment available — enable the platform to be configured for simultaneous or swing roles.
A fully integrated avionics, sensors and weapons suite delivers rapid information collection and processing for unrivalled situational awareness — and the capability to strike at stand-off ranges across all domains.
Two services
Repair. Or modernise.
Not every operator wants a full Su-25NG upgrade. The plant brings Su-25 airframes back to flight-ready condition without changing what's on them — capital restoration on the same workshop floor that built the original.
Service 01
No modernisation requiredStandalone repair & capital restoration.
For operators who want to keep their existing Su-25 fleet airworthy without changing the airframe's configuration. Strip-down, component overhaul, structural repair, and recertification to flight-ready condition.
- Capital restoration to zero-hour airframe condition
- Structural repair and inspection
- Powerplant, hydraulics and electrical overhaul
- Recertification and return-to-service support
- No avionics or weapons modifications — original spec preserved
Service 02
Full upgrade packageSu-25NG modernisation package.
Full modernisation to current operational standard — new avionics suite, weapons integration, self-protection, redundant FBW flight control, and Western / non-Western armament compatibility.
- Glass cockpit with HUD, LAD, HOTAS, HMD, NVG
- Conformal fuel tanks for extended endurance
- Litening targeting pod and modern stores compatibility
- Defensive Aids Sub-System (RWR, MAWS, CFD, SPJ)
- Optional Eurojet EJ200 or Snecma M88 engine retrofit
- Multi-role: CAS, COIN, FAC-A, SEAD, RECCE, anti-ship
Both services use the same workshop floor and the same DEKRA-audited quality management system (ISO 9001:2015, EN 9100:2018). Scope is agreed programme-by-programme.
