In 2014 unrest began in Crimea and Russia annexed the area. Russian sympathizers launched attacks throughout parts of the Ukraine and Ukraine forces reacted. On July 2, 2014, returning from a sortie in East Ukraine, Sukhoi Su-25M1 Frogfoot, Blue 06, assigned to the 299th Aviation Brigade at Nikolaev – Kulbakino Airport (UKOR) crashed at Dneproptrovsk Airport with the pilot safely ejecting. The crash was listed as “due to technical difficulties” but was most likely caused by ground fire. Ukrainian Air Force Blue 06 MSN 10121 C/N 25508110121 was the first Su-25 with the pixel paint scheme.

In 1999 Russia decided to upgrade their Su-25s with actual work beginning in 2001. The first of the upgraded aircraft designated Su-25SM (Stroyevoy Modernizirovannyi) Grach (Rook) flew on March 3, 2002 with the first six aircraft entering service with the Russian Air Force in December of 2006. The modernization was intended to expand the life of the Su-25, make it All-Weather capable, more lethal and reduce operating and maintenance cost. The upgrades also increased ordnance loads and a wider selection of ordnance was also added.


Hobby Master offers a wide selection of quality, pre-assembled, diecast model airplanes. Each model is crafted to a high level of accuracy using specifications of the original aircraft. They are constructed with precision-made diecast metal and some plastic components.
