History time guys - level 10 nickname for Su-25TM is Grach, which translates to Rook in English. It was given to Su-25 by Russian soldiers during the 80s' intervention in Afganistan. As you should know, it was performing a CAS role there, much like A-10s do. Russian troops were grateful and they appreciated Frogfoot's pilots support. They thought that this aircraft is like Rook - mother of this birds species spreads her wings to protect the children, when faced with danger, and so did the 25TM - it was defending the troops below.

Seems like a fun story, but that's the most trusted one behind this nickname. I have already given some explanations, I hope to post some more overtime, it's my passion.
