The new version of the aircraft has integrated Turkish-made guided bombs and missiles Teber, as well as cruise missile guidance kits (KGK). The aircraft is also equipped with a laser guidance kit (LGK).

The upgrade includes key enhancements such as increased range due to the opening wing, the introduction of new all-weather daytime surveillance systems, and the integration of encrypted ANS/KKS software.

The maximum range of the Turkish KGK missile mounted on the Su-25 ML Lachin is 110 kilometres when launched from a high altitude and over 37 kilometres from a lower altitude. At the same time, thanks to KGK, MK-82 and MK-83 bombs are able to accurately hit in any weather conditions. This allows the aircraft to safely carry out their missions without approaching danger zones.
