The US called the most dangerous attack Russia The American edition The National Interest has named the worst for the Islamic state (a terrorist organisation, banned in Russia. - Approx. ed.) the Russian plane. The experts unanimously decided that the su-25SM instead of the more "young" su-30SM and su-34 as it might seem.

The main role in the combat operations of Russian aviation in Syria, the experts assign the armored attack aircraft su-25SM. His role will be especially effective, when the Russian military and troops of the Syrian government will coordinate its own efforts, experts say.

Given the opinion of one of the followers of the air force of the United States, su-25SM are considered the best for conducting operations of "air - land", - notes the newspaper.

Important support air operations may provide front-line bomber su-24. This machine, reminds RIA Novosti news Agency created to isolate the battlefield from the air. Su-25SM, like the American counterpart A-10 was designed as a specific aircraft support troops.

The Russian aircraft underwent modernization. In the process, the stormtrooper armor was fitted with a "glass cockpit", a satellite navigation system GLONASS and modern avionics, which allows the use of precision guided munitions, according to the American journal.
