    “During the Great Patriotic War, the Luftwaffe pilots nevertheless adapted to shoot down attack aircraft, entering them into the“ dead zone ”from the tail side. Our specialists had to develop a modification of this combat vehicle, the Il-10. extra rear seat for the radio gunner. "

    At the end of 42, the IL-2 was doubled.
    ...
    IL-10 is a completely different story ...

    "Il-10 is an attack aircraft of the final period of the Great Patriotic War designed by the Ilyushin Design Bureau. Created in 1944 by deep modernization of the Il-2 aircraft, the first flight took place on April 18, 1944, test pilot V.K. Kokkinaki. In 1945, 2556 were produced. machines of this type. "...

    The article as a whole is not bad, but some artistic intersperses are somewhat surprising.

    At about two in the night, a bath with five tons of nitrate suddenly caught fire, which was used to cool metal billets. Arriving firefighters were about to shoot down the flames with water. However, I categorically forbade them to do this, because I understood that if water gets into the burning nitrate: a chemical reaction will begin, accompanied by the release of a large amount of hydrogen, which means that after this there will be a crushing explosion that will blow the whole building!
    This story, most likely, is just one of the tales told on the blockade by some "uncle Vasya, a former mechanic of that very plant."
    When heated, saltpeter either melts, or explodes (sodium and potassium), or explodes. When pouring water into the melt, the processes that are usual for this occur (remember the water in the pan). In an explosion, all energy is released instantly and the temperature of thermal decomposition of water (1000 g C) is not achieved. Nitrate itself never, under any conditions (like nitric acid), produces hydrogen.

    The article is pseudo-patriotic nonsense, not confirmed by facts ... about armored backs, etc. etc.
