The Russian book 'The Hot Skies of Afghanistan' has a frightening picture of an Su-25 which returned to base after being hit by a Stinger. It has a large circular hole carved out of the lower fuselage just to the rear of the jet exhausts, almost as if something had taken a buge bite out of it!

I have watch long time ago some archive Soviet movies and I could note that this plane could take enormous punishment and stay alive and danger. It have armor plate between two engine and it could survive explosion and complete destruction of one engine.

Yes, it was designed to operate from very rough conditions.
This photo has to be be my favourite Su-25 image. This one runs a close second.
