Ukrainian troops have dramatically downed a Russian fighter jet over eastern Ukraine as an oil depot was set ablaze by a drone strike more than 100 miles away in Russia.

The Soviet-designed Su-25, nicknamed “Frogfoot” by Nato, was downed over Kramatorsk, Donetsk, as it fired on Ukrainian troops.

What would you call it for the general population?

I might be wrong but I think the correct term here is attack aircraft

Or the beautiful German terms "Erdkampfflugzeug" or "Schlachtflugzeug"
