The LBSh (Russian: ???, initially known simply as ?, short for shturmovik) was a light ground attack aircraft (shturmovik) designed in 1939 by Sergei Aleksandrovich Kocherigin. A low-wing monoplane with fixed undercarriage of mixed construction, the design proved underpowered, although decently armed. Offensive armament included two ShVAK 20 mm autocannons and two ShKAS machine guns in the wings and up to 600 kg of bombload. Defensive armament consisted of one turret-mounted ShKAS machine gun firing rearwards.[1]
