这 波利卡尔波夫波-2 是一架苏联双翼飞机，在二战期间用作全天候多用途飞机。它也被称为U-2，因为它的初始训练作用，以及Kukuruznik，因为它的农业用途。Po-2 易于生产和维护，共制造了 20,000 多台。在飞行中，它非常可靠，并且可以原谅大多数飞行员的错误。
Po-2用于东线的各种任务，如联络，医疗，补给，侦察和心理战。它作为夜间骚扰轰炸机特别有效，在低空飞行并向德军阵地投掷炸弹。Po-2被德国人昵称为Nähmaschine（缝纫机），因为它的发动机声音独特。驾驶Po-2最著名的单位之一是第588夜间轰炸机团，完全由女飞行员和机械师组成。他们中的一些人执行了一千多次任务，并获得了苏联英雄的称号。
这 宝-2 在朝鲜战争中也被朝鲜和中国军队使用。事实证明，由于其低速和机动性，它对喷气式战斗机具有惊人的弹性。Po-2 一直服役到 1950 年代后期，当时它被更现代的飞机取代。然而，它仍然被认为是苏联最通用和最成功的轻型战斗机之一。
