Tthe 플루가브베르카노넨판셀게파드 ( "대공포 탱크 치타", Flakpanzer Gepard로 더 잘 알려짐)는 전천후 기능이 가능한 독일 자주포 대공포 (SPAAG)입니다. 1960 년대에 개발되어 1970 년대에 배치되었으며 최신 전자 장치로 여러 번 업그레이드되었습니다. 그것은 독일군(Bundeswehr)과 다른 여러 NATO 국가의 방공의 초석을 구성했습니다. 독일에서는 Gepard가 2010 년 말에 단계적으로 폐지되었고 4 개의 FIM-92 스팅어 또는 LFK NG 미사일 발사기가 장착 된 Wiesel 2 Ozelot Leichtes Flugabwehrsystem (LeFlaSys)로 대체되었습니다.
The Polikarpov Po-2, originally designated U-2 (for ‘Uchebnyy’ or ‘Training’), is a Soviet utility and trainer biplane designed by Nikolai Polikarpov. First flying in 1928, it became one of the most produced aircraft in history, with estimates up to 40,000 units built. Its simple, rugged, wood-and-fabric construction made it inexpensive, easy to maintain, and capable of operating from small, unprepared airfields (STOL capability). During World War II, despite being obsolete, it was effectively used as a light night bomber, liaison, medical evacuation, and reconnaissance aircraft. It was famously flown by the all-female 588th Night Bomber Regiment, nicknamed the “Night Witches” by the Germans, who also called the plane the “Nähmaschine” (sewing machine) due to the sound of its engine.

Empty Weight
Approx. 700–770 kg (1,540–1,700 lb)
Maximum Takeoff Weight
Approx. 1,350–1,400 kg (2,980–3,090 lb)
Powerplant and Performance
Engine: One Shvetsov M-11D / M-11FR 5-cylinder, air-cooled radial engine.
Power Output: Typically 93–119 kW (125–160 hp) depending on the variant.
Maximum Speed: Approx. 130–152 km/h (81–94 mph).
Cruising Speed: Approx. 100–110 km/h (62–68 mph).
Note: This slow speed was often an advantage against German fighters, whose stall speed was higher than the Po-2’s top speed.
Range: Approx. 450–630 km (280–390 mi).
Service Ceiling: Approx. 3,000–4,000 m (9,800–13,100 ft).
Key Design Feature: All-wood airframe with fabric covering, making it virtually invisible to early radar.
Armament (Light Bomber Variant)
Defensive Armament: One rear-facing 7.62 mm ShKAS machine gun in the observer’s cockpit (in U-2VS/Po-2 LNB variants).
Bombload (External): Up to 300–350 kg (660–770 lb) of bombs carried on racks beneath the lower wings and fuselage.
Typical load: Six FAB-50 (50 kg) bombs.
Combat Use: Used primarily for “nuisance raids” at night, often gliding silently over targets after cutting the engine.
