TR06229 SU-25UTG FROGFOOT

In August 1988, the Ulan-Ude mass-produced Su-25UB was used by the Design Bureau as the platform for a Su-25UTG two-seat trainer version for naval aviators of aircraft carrier-based planes. All its attack and weapons systems were removed and an arrestor hook installed. The plane’s main function was to train pilots to take off and land on the deck of an aircraft carrier of project 1143.5. The first flight of T8UTG-1 prototype took place on 1st September 1988, the machine piloted by the design bureau's test pilot I.V. Votintsev. On 1st November 1989, in the course of Su-25UTG flight development tests, the crew of design bureau pilot I.V. Votintsev and FRI test navigator V.A. Krutov performed the T8UTG-1's first landing on the deck of the Tbilisi ACHC (later renamed the Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union Kuznetsov). The Su-25UTG went into series production in 1991, with the planes handed over to Naval Aviation.
