    Flying battery. Good ... but where there is no more air defense than MANPADS of older models

          And how are the barmalei different from the Papuans and who prevents us from using such gun mounts, “flying” tank support terminators, and very scary systems based on “pinocchio” and “tosochki” not only against barmalei, but also against dill?

      Either they knock out air defense and use this Ganship, or, as now in Syria, they shoot from it a column at night wreaking death and panic.

          Duc will not be used against Russia or against China. But the rebels in the desert to drive the very thing.

          And why should I grieve. The Americans crushed our enemies of the Arabs, yours, as you know, did not suffer. Everyone is happy.

      We assume that the new MANPADS do not take at altitudes of more than 5 km, but this is if you stupidly consider the function of such a ganship as a flying tank.
      http://in24.org/world/30719?utm_source=warfiles.r

      But who is stopping us after we have mastered the artillery specialty of such a ganship based on a gun with a 3M projectile speed based on the old An-12, to make such a flying "tank destroyer" that could be very useful in Donbass just before the APU’s offensive - such a ganship could destroy at least a hundred dill tanks and armored personnel carriers in one voyage (2 hours of work !!) And if you equip it with a tower from TOS -1A (or don’t let the “tosochka” boh!) - then one such eroplan will replace several thousand motorized rifles and clear 3-5 km of field fortifications of the front edge of dill or barmaley at a time.
      This increases the efficiency of using VKS in local wars and conflicts of low intensity by a thousand times. The experience of using such equipment in the USA is about 50 years, in Syria this experience was applied for the first time and turned out to be very sensitive for us ...

    But indeed, it turned out a very successful car. Operation from any lanes, small take-off and landing. on the deck of an aircraft carrier sits without problems without a hook, takes off without a catapult. When will our IL-112 compete with him there?

    There are no complaints about the plane, a workhorse and a universal one. And of course, their total number is amazing, well-established conveyor!
    That's how many interesting transporters we have?

    What, what, but I always liked Hercules, a very beautiful car with good performance characteristics)
    When we have already decided to create the same pepelats to support the troops, good cannon weapons, and even from the sky ... A lot can be done.

    An example of how to improve the design over many years. And from our AN-12, it would be possible, to pull out a lot more. What, China and demonstrates.

      To our great regret, we were not able to create a modern replacement for the An-12. request
