Design and development
Work on creating an attack aircraft to replace Su-25 was started in 1984. The first project was ready by 1989. The theme was called Sturmovik-90. One of the options developed in Sukhoi Design Bureau received the T-12 index. It was a very unusual machine. The plane had a carrying body with two cabins between which the channels air intakes were located, with forward-swept wings. At their ends were placed containers with EW equipment. In the left cockpit there was a pilot and under the radio transparent fairing there was a radar, and in the right cockpit Weapon Operator was located and under the fairing there was an optical-electronic system.
Armament was mainly located in two internal compartments, although it was possible to place additional weapons on the underwing pylons. Work on the T-12 took place at a very serious pace and the assembly line at the plant in Irkutsk was being prepared, but the dissolution of the Soviet Union put an end to the project.
