Grumman A-6A Vsiljivec – Fotografije & Video

V Grumman A-6 Vsiljivec je bilo ameriško jurišno letalo z dvojnim reaktivnim motorjem in srednjim krilom za vse vremenske razmere, ki ga je zgradilo podjetje Grumman Aerospace. V službi ameriške mornarice in marinskega korpusa med letoma 1963 in 1997 je bil Intruder zasnovan kot srednje napadalno letalo za vse vremenske razmere, ki je nadomestilo batni motor Douglas A-1 Skyraider. Ker je bil A-6E predviden za upokojitev, je njegovo misijo natančnega udarca prevzel Grumman F-14 Tomcat, opremljen z LANTIRN kapsulo. Iz A-6 je bil razvit specializiran derivat za elektronsko vojskovanje, EA-6.

V Grumman A-6A vsiljivec 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.
V 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.
