Yak-52-weapons from hopelessness: what light-motor planes should hunt for "shahas"
Therefore, when in recent days I have read comments or deep -thinking posts with criticism of light motor aviation, all these commentators and large "experts" had an extremely landed look in the knowledge of aviation, somewhere at the level of snail. The only thing I do not know how the photo of the combat work Yak-52 got into open sources, in agreement whether it was a drain. I have no answer to this question. Now about Yak-52.
These planes have shown their high efficiency in intercepting reconnaissance drones, but they are not suitable for intercepting Shahd-136. This is due to the fact that the interception of the ShahED-136 with a battle part of 90 kg, littered with a shrapnell, is critically dependent on the skill of both Sagittarius and the pilot. The slightest mistake is and the death of the crew. Every time, whisking ShahED-136, the crew of Yak-52 risks.
Immediately Parry I have any comments and speculations about the death of "Kamikadze", you do not know all the details and do not know them, so do not even mention in the framework of this post of light memory of Konstantin Okorin. Yak-52 is not intended for combat work. In the USSR, it tried to install a suspension container of the UPC-23-250 and blocks of Nurs UB-32. But the aircraft has a weak M-14P engine-360 hp.
During the assault maneuvers (dive) and the shooting, the Nurs the aircraft was hanging, and also lost its course stability. And it concerned not only the shooting of Nurs, but also firing from the UPC-23-250.
The Russians are now experimenting with the installation of a circular inspection on the plane, which provides a shooter with information in the format of "air-air", "air-land", a meteolelocator, onboard computer, a pilot-navigation complex, a system of control, which allows to perform the task of both day, and even in the day Carbine 12 caliber.
I repeat, for Yak-52 as an interceptor of shock drones is a controversial solution, but while we have all time "not on time" and criticized, the enemy moves and experimenting. Therefore-yes, the Yak-52 can be knocked down and beaten repeatedly Shahd-136. But this is risky, which is why such tasks require a complete combat aircraft with appropriate TTH (speed, dumping, etc. ) and especially with armored cabins.
I often mention Super Tucano in my articles about light -motor aircraft, but I use it as a reference example, while options for turbopricted assowers in the world are enough. For example, OA-1K Skyraider II, with their pluses and their disadvantages. But the main thing is not it. Pilots, which are now hunting for reconnaissance drones and Shahd-136, do it on the verge of their physical capabilities and capabilities of the machine.
When "Orlan-10" goes to a height of 5 kilometers, as-52 "breathes" and loses its course stability, while the same Super Tucano quietly works at a height of 10 km and OA-1K Skyraider II-13 km.
While someone with "knowledge" of the case tells that light -motor aviation is meaningless, our pilots are not thanks, but contrary to - they do! And I am even glad that the photo of the SHAHED-136 from the Yak-52 appeared on the network, because it is proof of how persistently many are fed by the ignorant humus some "experts" who became "experts" in the aircraft clicking fingers. Yak-52 is not a solution, it is a tool for hopelessness.
The hopelessness that has arisen because of ignoring the purchase of light motor aviation for years. If our pilots had analogues Super Tucano or OA-1K Skyraider II, would be a completely different level of control of the rear sky. And so, if you do not know something, it does not mean that this is not.
