Kanonier Reichmann Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 I'm playing a scenario at the moment when a "Neman R10" rocks up as the Soviet air support. I've never heard of such an aircraft. I've tried a google search but have come up with zilch so I'm wondering if any aircraft grogs out there can provide some information on this (I assume) fairly rare Soviet aircraft. Regards Jim R.

Kanonier Reichmann Posted October 26, 2002 Author Share Posted October 26, 2002 Thanks for the info & pic's guys. I gather from the picture and the lack of information on its military exploits it was not exactly a stellar performer? Regards Jim R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Weiss Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 Looks a little like a Japanese Val. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Jim R.Designed in 1934 they were almost completely obsolote in 1941 (and almost most had already been removed from air force inventory), but in those desperate day everything was used and they apparently did fly airsupport missions with these things before they were relegated completly to recce.

Foxbat Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 Oh, and armament was 2 7.62mm mgs in the wings (plus one in the rear defence turret) and up to 300 kgs of bombs. Top speed 350-400km/h. A decent plane for the early- to mid thirties I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
