Huge hole: what looks like an An-2, which Russians confused with Ukrainian UAV (video)

The Russians began to be fired in the corn "An-2, which flew into the forbidden zone and was purely perceived by the shock drone after the dark. He flew the board over the oil refinery "Gazprom Neftechim Salaavat", which had previously been attacked by Ukrainian UAVs, so the Russians opened fire. It turned out that it was an An-2 plane owned by Light Eir, which was implementing the planned flight of Ufa Santa-Uffe for infrared shooting, the Russian media Baza wrote.

Everything was agreed, but led to consequences. "As a result of the shooting, the aircraft had a fuel leak, after which the KVS decided to return to the UFU. After 40 minutes, the aircraft was able to sit at a local airport. During the inspection in the aircraft fuselage, three holes were found from the balls," the statement said.

Later, it turned out that one of the crew members almost died during the shelling, because the bullets were sewn through his clothes and miraculously not touched the man himself. On the video published on the network, you can also see what the board itself looks after the shelling - it turned into a sieve. In the building, dozens of traces of balls, and on the wing - a huge hole, wrote in Baza.

Defense Express analysts claim that this incident causes quite controversial emotions, because on the one hand, the enemy's air defense of 1400 kilometers from Ukraine showed a high result in the air target. "But despite the fairly dense shelling, no critical node of the aircraft has undergone significant damage. And even the hole in the wing did not affect the fuel system, because six tanks with a total volume of 1200 liters are placed in the upper wing," the statement said.

The An-2 was created by the prominent Ukrainian aircraft designer Oleg Antonov, reminded analysts, and the aircraft once again proved its survivability. It was developed after the Second World War and was intended not only for civil aviation. The Soviet Air Force adopted the 1948 arms board, and the experience of plane projecting to increase their chances of survival under anti -aircraft fire at that time was just a huge accumulated.

"It is this array of experience and knowledge that now objectively returns its significance due to the re-active spread of anti-aircraft systems on the basis of low-caliber automatic guns and machine guns. And therefore, when the same long-range drones, it will not be superfluous to blow the dust from the 1940s. " ADRAINT ACD " - summed up analysts.
