The KH 29s are normally carried by supersonic aircraft

Russian tanks in Armenia learn driving on mountain serpentine roads
February 25, 2013 | 21:13
YEREVAN. – Armenia’s Alagyaz mountainous training center launched tactical exercises with firing via tanks, organized by the Russian military base installed in Armenia, the Southern military district informs.
The tanks will hold offensive combat with conventional mechanized enemy units that have overcome the mountainous terrain and take up defensive. The exercises will work out joint actions of infantry and armor units at the location and outpost, as well as in traveling and outposts.
Special attention will be paid to management of skills by the crews for operating in mountain serpentine roads, aiming to apply the skills and determination of the distance to the target instrument in smoky and foggy weather.
Over 50 armored vehicles and about 200 personnel are participating in the exercises.

what else can SU-25 carry btw? In a conflict with Azeris, our SU-25's is gonna be all we have to drop stuff from the air, it will be very dangerous job for our pilots, since we don't have any stand-off bombs, and will have to rely mostly on dumb bombs dropped from close distance.
The russians are upgrading their SU-25 to SM standard (and some 10 SM3 were delivered to the south recently), because they're recognising the precision-guided weapons are the way to fight today's wars, specially against islamofascists. I'd like to see ours upgraded too, but I wont hold my breath..
