  1. You kid but. in the Koreas, one of the problems facing the South Korean and USAF defenders are North Korean An-2, flying very low, very slow and with fabric fuselages...

  2.  @vladintool  we are both right and wrong. Yes the An-2 is made of aluminium, and that was the one I wanted to refer, but I meant today . The Po-2 was indeed used for night attacks, but I was thinking of the An-2 being used to infiltrate commandos and sabouteurs, due to it's ability to practically fly at grass level.

  3. the problem here is that Korea has lots and lots of mountains, hills and valleys; perfect for a small, slow plane to zig zag under cover of line of sight. Only airborne radar works and even that has problems.
