Quote HistoryYeah, but isn't that also the slang for a T-34-76? This is my step-daughter at the FHM/Paul Allen's museum about 6/7 years ago. We saw an FW-190 chase an Il-2 around the sky that day, very memorable! Her great-grandfather was actually a T-34 gunner. Got an unexptected and extended stay in Germany and eventually made it home.  Attached FileYes, 2013. Actually nine years ago! it was the only flying IL-2 at the time. I knew some guys who worked on programming 'Panzer Corps' who were trying to get one flying in St. Petersburg at the time; They told me about pulling it out of a swamp near Murmansk around this time. Do not know what happened with that; I should find out. Steve Hinton (Sr.) is piloting the FW-190 in this pic, I don't remember who was piloting the Il-2. It was 2013 and I only had a 6gb Pentax DLSR, sorry for the poor pic!  Attached File |

    A previously unseen Russian MOB AP directional mine was captured by the AFU. Apparently, this type is modular - up to 3 units can be connected to each other. They can also be fitted with additional preformed fragmentation blocks and various aiming and mounting devices. |

    Modernization of former Soviet, now Russian heavy strategic bomber Tupolev Tu-160 to Tu-160M2 standard. Russian Air Force currently has 17 Tu-160s in service but only one is new Tu-160M2. All existing aircraft are to be modernized to the "M2" standard and another 10 Tu-160M2 are on order. |

Also, despite being in a crate marked "9M133K" (which is for the Kornet ATGM), those appear to be thermobaric RPG rounds. If you guys see crates with weird numbers on them, that is usually the GRAU Index number. The other markings are usually all the stuff you would expect: case quantity, caliber/models, shipping weight, and so on. |

Given that the rear half of the aircraft and the outer sections of the wings were made of plywood, combined with the ground attack role and the general Soviet mentality, it's perhaps not so surprising that there's only one left flyable. Only the really important bits of the IL-2 (mostly engine and pilot) were armored. The rear gunner was not included in that list. |
