Soviet multi-fuel turbine engines and Su-25 Frogfoot
The TV2-117TG, intended for the Mi-8TG and
Mi-38 helicopters can run on liquid natural
gas, benzine and diesel. It must however be
started and stopped on kerosene.
Does anybody know if the same goes for the
Tumansky R-195 which powers the Su-25? I only
know it can run on diesel apart from its normal
fuel.

The Su-25 is excellent in other field-operations
respects too. It can (of course) operate from
grass (the perfect countermeasure to JP233 and
Durandal) and it's quite independent from ground
support. When you move it to an other base, you
hang four pods under the wings, containing:
spares; tools; ground power unit; fuel pump and
hose.
