[<strong>Su</strong>-<strong>25T</strong> Frogfoot]<br />

Select air-to-ground mode by pressing the [7] key. Select the desired bomb by pressing the [D] key.<br />

Confirm the selected bomb type on the HUD. To detect and identify targets, you must turn on the<br />

"Shkval" TV targeting system by pressing the [O] key, or the "Mercury" system by pressing the<br />

[RCtrl-O] key. Search for your target by moving the scan zone center with the [;], [,], [.], [/]<br />

keys. Upon target acquisition, ground-stabilize the sensor by pressing the [Enter] key. For positive<br />

target identification you can change the sensor’s magnification level by pressing the [=] (zoom in)<br />

and [-] (zoom out) keys.<br />

Step 2<br />

To lock a target, you need to manually set a specified size (also known as "target base") of the target<br />

correctly. By default, the target specified size is 10 m. It is recommended to use the following target<br />

base values:<br />

Personnel and minor structures – 5 m.<br />

Cars and armored vehicles – 10 m.<br />

Tactical aircraft and helicopters – 20 m.<br />

Transport and strategic aircraft – 30-60 m.<br />

Buildings – 20-60 m.<br />

Ships – 60 m.<br />

The "Shkval" targeting system will lock on to the nearest object within the acquisition frame that has<br />

dimensions comparable with the set target size. If the incorrect object is locked, move the acquisition<br />

frame to the correct target with the [;], [,], [.], [/] keys.<br />

When a target is locked, an "AC" message will appear on the TV monitor – auto-tracking.<br />

Step 3<br />

Range to target is indicated by the range scale displayed on the HUD. When the maximum launch<br />

range is reached and the "LA" message appears, release the weapon by pressing the weapon release<br />

button on your joystick or by pressing the [Space] key on your keyboard.<br />

After release/launch, you can immediately begin another task.<br />

Note that it is impossible to deliver TV-guided weapons in poor visibility conditions and at night; they<br />

only work in the visible light spectrum and are influenced by all the limitations associated with<br />

daytime TV-devices. To lock a target, the target must be illuminated by a natural or artificial light<br />

source.<br />

Laser Designation Missiles<br />

The <strong>Su</strong>-<strong>25T</strong> can use the Kh-29L and Kh-25ML laser designation homing missiles. The Kh-29L and Kh-<br />

25ML were designed to destroy buried command centers, control centers, reinforced concrete<br />

shelters and structures, anti-aircraft artillery positions, artillery, and other protected targets.<br />

The delivery procedure for such weapons is as follows:<br />
