Regiment Aviation Art — 3 museum-grade prints on the theme. The Sukhoi Su-25 Grach — known in NATO reporting as Frogfoot — first flew on 22 February 1975 and entered front-line regimental service in 1981 as a dedicated subsonic attack aircraft built around direct ground-force support in the pilot's line of sight. Titanium armor around the cockpit bathtub, redundant control runs, and short-field capability let Frogfoot crews operate from austere strips near the front, while the GSh-30-2 twin 30 mm cannon and wing pylons for S-25 rockets, Kh-25 missiles, and general-purpose bombs defined its tank-plinking and battlefield interdiction role across Soviet, Russian, and export service. The Mil Mi-24 Hind entered Soviet service in the 1970s as the world's first purpose-built gunship with a troop cabin — the brutalist formula NATO codenamed Hind that married transport volume with wing-mounted rockets, cannon, and tube-launched anti-tank missiles. The Mi-35M is Rostvertol's export-facing modernization of that lineage, retaining the signature double-bubble cockpit and side-by-side troop compartment while upgrading avionics, engines, and night-operations kit. The TAI/AgustaWestland T129 ATAK — ATAK meaning attack in Turkish — is a twin-engine tandem-seat attack helicopter derived from the Agusta A129 Mangusta, optimized for hot-and-high geography and day-night armed reconnaissance. First flight came in September 2009; Turkish Land Forces introduction followed in 2014 after a co-development programme between Turkish Aerospace Industries and Leonardo.
