Trying to find any plane known to me in it. It has quite typical russian cockpit and also wings are with russian design (that vertical parts used to control air flow). Yet it doesn't seem like any russian plane. So my guess is that was made by you or chinese... going to google it...
Indeed it's Chinese
SU 25 frogfoot
in this picture looks similar to a su25, but the airplane is more similar to mirage F1 or a mig23
It's a A-5 C, the export version of the Nanchang Q-5 (Chinese: 強-5; pinyin: Qiang-5; NATO reporting name: Fantan). It is a Chinese-built jet ground-attack aircraft based on the Soviet MiG-19. Its main role is close air support. It is armed with 2× Norinco Type 23-2K 23 mm (0.906 in) cannon, (100 rounds per gun) and 10 hardpoints for carrying various munition with a capacity of 2,000 kg. It has a max speed of Mach or 752 mph and has a combat range of 400 km to 600 km (Depends on mission) with maximum payload. Combat effeteness of this attack plane is only speculation as to this day not a single A-5 has seen live combat.
