Since 2006, the Polish Air Force has been operating multi-role combat aircraft (WSB) Lockheed Martin (General Dynamics) F-16 Advanced Block 52 + Jastrząb. Emotions about buying them have already subsided. The machines work very well. The National Catholic Government of the Republic of Poland has already sent these planes on stabilization missions to the Baltic…

The MiG-29 UB aircraft is a two-seater version of the MiG-29. The plane received a cockpit with seats set in tandem. The entire front section of the hull was rebuilt. The aircraft was deprived of the radiolocation station, mainly due to its significant mass. As a result, the aircraft lost a significant part of combat…

In CCCP, the Su-17 plane, despite constant modifications and the creation of its second generation, still did not meet the assumptions made. It was not about volatile properties and performance, but about the possibility of effectively attacking ground targets in "all weather conditions". The variable geometry of the wings was not a sufficient argument here.…

The concept of atomization and rocketization of the battlefield brought real development of the Su-7 aircraft. Nuclear warheads were to be carried by missiles and barrel artillery. But some of the enemy’s promises (moving targets) were to be destroyed by air bombs. Supersonic aircraft have been designated for this task. Due to the high speed,…

For the first time with the MiG-23 aircraft, our politicians and military officers came across while looking for a successor to the IL-28 bomber aircraft. The last six bombers were removed from the state in 1979, but in fact for the entire decade they were no longer of any combat value. CCCP offered us MiG-23…

Currently (2017) the most modern combat aircraft in the world are designed only as single-seater machines. Two-seater versions of combat aircraft that were called training-combat aircraft are no longer being built. Projects already implemented and put into service, such as F-22 and F-35, confirm this rule. This tendency results from several basic premises. First, computer…

The entire contract for the supply of Yak-23 fighters for the Polish Army has not been completed yet, and in July 1951 the supply of MiG-15 fighters began. The reason was the development of events during the Korean War, the Berlin blockade lost, and above all the CCCP’s possession of nuclear weapons. This resulted in…

We wrote a lot about the political side of choosing Gulfstream G550 planes for transporting the most important people in Poland in other articles. We are convinced that the best offer and the best aircraft in the class of commercial machines have been selected. The Gulfstream G550 is truly an aircraft of the highest quality,…

The Soviet Yakovlev UT-2 plane was a bad training and training plane. He was difficult to pilot and did not forgive mistakes. Engineer Tadeusz Sołtyk even described it as dangerous and claimed that it is not necessary to select pilots through the cemetery. In 1943, the OKB Yakovlev office developed several designs to modify the…

It has been 21 years since the accident of Iryda, with which the destruction of the aviation industry began. I wrote a few topics about it in the previous years. However, this topic will shock the public opinion for a long time, because what was done was incredibly stupid.
