Sukhoi Su-25

Both ships sent out distress calls during the night, and Bulgaria sent help.

Two helicopters were dispatched with rescue teams, while an Su-25 aircraft flew over the area to help the search.

By around nine that morning, Bulgaria's public broadcaster reported that one of the ships had disappeared from the border police radar.

Now, the two crews did face very different outcomes.

Jim, we haven't done a contested, and it was lightly contested at the time, we haven't done a contested amphibious beach landing since Inchon in 1950.

And by the way, we do not have the maritime connectors, you know exactly what I'm talking about, from the amphibs, from the Gator Navy, to the beach that are reliable in the wholesale numbers that we need, and vertical envelopment via helicopter, the missile age... has really put an end to that, whether the Marines acknowledge that or not, because as I mentioned earlier in the program, as far as rotary wing aircraft, and by the way, the A-10, and its Su-25 Frogfoot variant in the Russian inventory, they don't go near the front lines.

They don't go over the front lines because they can't, because they get killed.

Same thing will happen here.

missiles, and UAVs, that is a disaster.

That's yet another thing we've learned during this conflict is that close support aircraft like A-10s and the Su-25 A-10 variant, the Frogfoot, that the Russians designed and rotor wing aircraft are things that are being kept behind, kept in reserve, not used near the front line of troops.

Because in the salvo competition of these missile wars, as it were, one could lob, as they discovered, a several $10,000 missile or variety of missiles at these multimillion-dollar aircraft, in this case helicopters, and take them down for the count.

Now, this invasion... wasn't executed in the same manner as 2014 with that annexation of the Eastern Oblast.

There were some documents that we saw the day prior of, like, what was coming.

So we saw, like, a Frogfoot jet, you know, T-72 tanks, um, stuff like that, that could be coming or most likely is coming to Arma 4.

So, um, they're focused on mod support as well too for Arma 4.

They wanna work on modders, you know, getting over from our forger to Arma 4 or so.

The jet-powered Geron 4 and Geron 5 are said to pose a significantly greater threat than earlier propeller-driven models.

Iran also purchased Russian Sukhoi-25 fighter jets in 2025, which could potentially be used to deploy the Geron 5.

In remarks regarding past diplomatic strategies, Jad Kushner, former special adviser to President Donald Trump, revealed that the Trump administration leveraged the international fallout from a failed Israeli strike in Doha, Qatar, to pressure Israel into accepting a Gaza agreement.

Kushner described the strike as terrible and militarily unsuccessful, stating it led to Israel's global isolation.
