"Grumman A-6A Intruder" - nuotraukos ir vaizdo įrašas

2007 Grumman A-6 įsibrovėlis buvo amerikietiškas, dvigubas reaktyvinis variklis, vidutinio sparno bet kokio oro atakos lėktuvas, kurį pastatė "Grumman Aerospace". 1963–1997 m. tarnaudamas Jungtinių Valstijų kariniame jūrų laivyne ir jūrų pėstininkų korpuse, įsibrovėlis buvo suprojektuotas kaip bet kokio oro vidutinės atakos orlaivis, pakeisiantis stūmokliniu varikliu varomą "Douglas A-1 Skyraider". Kadangi A-6E buvo išstumtas į pensiją, jo tikslaus smūgio misiją perėmė "Grumman F-14 Tomcat" su LANTIRN ankštimi. Iš A-6 buvo sukurtas specializuotas elektroninio karo darinys EA-6.

2007 Grumman A-6A įsibrovėlis was a twin-engine, all-weather attack aircraft that entered service with the US Navy and Marine Corps in the early 1960s. It was designed to deliver conventional or nuclear weapons with high accuracy and reliability, day or night, in any weather conditions. The A-6A was equipped with a sophisticated integrated electronic system called DIANE, which included a radar, an inertial navigation system, and a computer. The A-6A had a side-by-side cockpit arrangement, with the pilot on the left and the bombardier/navigator (BN) on the right.
2007 A-6A had a swept wing with variable incidence and spoilers, and a tailhook for carrier landing. The A-6A could carry up to 8,170 kg of ordnance on five external hardpoints, including bombs, rockets, missiles, and mines. The A-6A saw extensive action during the Vietnam War, where it performed various missions such as interdiction, close air support, reconnaissance, and tanker. The A-6A was later upgraded to the A-6E variant, which had improved avionics and weapons systems. The A-6A Intruder was retired from service in 1997, after more than three decades of operation.
