  6. That would be a cool custom job for a flyable 47; it should be a head-turner at airshows. The H-13s (Bell 47) were the first scout helos, and the Air Cav armed some with machine guns and rockets on the landing skids for field tests.

  9. Moskva's original mission was a blue-water carrier killer, where it would be escorted by AA warships, and there would be no land to complicate threat detection. There was also the 'Battle of the First Salvo', where the Soviets would try to overwhelm NATO/US defenses with masses launches from numerous platforms. If that could be pulled off, there wouldn't be much coming back at them.

  12.  @vascoribeiro69  A robust combined arms doctrine at least. In the Yom Kippur War, Israeli jets were stymied until artillery started taking out Egyptian SAM sites.

  15. It looks much more 'Grumman' than 'Curtiss'. I wonder what Leroy thought of that? Looking at the struts and bracing, I would think conversion would be a depot-level job.

  16. I come for the 'what ifs', gripped by the humor... 😆 'What if'...the Ki-24 II is gathering dust in an old barn or hangar...
