RF-19 'Arkhipov'

48 forestlad  3.6 years ago

1951, Moscow. With jet engine craft growing ever more popular, Shedvletsky Brothers Aeronautics began designing a fast paced, Quick attack fighter, with the sole purpose of beating back the Americans. A new jet fighter, the RF-19, was born from the fires of the RF-10. (Which was a complete disaster) The RF-19 was a huge morale booster. When it began to scream over the battlefields of Korea, the Soviet and North korean soldiers began to charge.

It was the true phoenix of the ashes.
