NATO reporting name: Frogfoot
A twin-seat carrier-based combat trainer powered by two R-95Sh turbojet engines each producing 4.100-kgf thrust.
The Su-25UTG is a derivative of the Su-25UB combat trainer version of the baseline Su-25 attack aircraft. It differs from the Su-25UB in having the arrestor hook for practising flying off and on the deck of the aircraft carrier as well as a somewhat lighter airframe due to the fact that its weaponry and armour plates were dismounted.
The Su-25UTG made its maiden flight in September 1988, with its production beginning in 1990 at the Ulan-Ude plant. A total of a dozen aircraft have been manufactured to date.
The Su-25UTG is operated by the composite air division deployed on the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier. In 1999, one of the aircraft was fitted with a folding wing.
