Title: Building the Flying Tank: Su-25 Titanium Bathtub Welding & Ballistic Armor Assembly
Description: Discover the secrets behind the legendary survivability of the Su-25 Frogfoot (Grach). This video takes you inside the factory to witness the fabrication of the famous "Titanium Bathtub"—the welded titanium armored capsule that surrounds the pilot.
Designed for low-altitude Close Air Support (CAS), this armor is built to withstand direct hits from anti-aircraft guns and small arms fire. We detail the heavy-duty welding processes and the precise installation of ballistic plates that turn this aircraft into a true flying tank.
🛡️ Manufacturing Highlights:
• The Titanium Bathtub: Welding the thick titanium sheets (up to 24mm) that shield the cockpit.
• Ballistic Armor: Installing additional steel and titanium plates for engine and fuel tank protection.
• Pilot Safety: How the armor geometry deflects ground fire.
• Structural Integration: Joining the heavy armor block to the lighter airframe fuselage.
See how Russian engineering prioritizes pilot survival in the harshest combat environments.
