Certainly that is one of the worst wacked airframes in the modern era to make it home. I repaired ZD843 in GW1 and that was easy for the ABDR compared to this. Way worse that the Jaguar A91 wacked by a MANPAD in 1991 on the Al Jaber raid. Yes, some WWII frames coming home were way worse. SU25 was a basic idea copy of the A-10A so concepts of design survivability have seemed to work. Just. RTS the good bits for another U/S jet.
