The Russian military has shown the consequences of hitting their Su-25 missiles from the anti-aircraft missile system.

After hitting a Russian plane over Ukraine, the single-seat attack aircraft was able to return to the airport.

The plane was seriously damaged, the rocket hit the engine.

When a rocket hits the engine, a fire usually occurs, which can sometimes be extinguished by a standard fire extinguishing system.

The pilot quickly shuts down the failed engine, shuts off the fire hydrant and activates the fire extinguishing system.

In the published photos, probably one engine burned twice, although in the Su-25 you can turn off the engine only once.
