Jackson Duvalier Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 I'd never heard of them, nor had I considered the possibility of their existence. Thank you for sharing this! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty84 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Wow, and I thought I'm quite well informed about the technical/weapon developments in WW2 but I was not aware of the Soviet efforts on guided bombs. Many thanks for sharing these interesting information Serge. Can you recommend any books/literature on this topic? Thanks! Cheers Markus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jochen Barett Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Not to mention the Russian inventor of the electric light bulb, the telephone, the computer, television, manned motorized flight, the newspaper, the internet, the wheel, the car and so on. Makes me wonder why we learn about guided Russian bombs of WW II in 2020 for the first time. How come Airfix and Frog never produced a kit of an Илью́шин with one of those? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
