Description and Lore


Davydov Da-32 (NATO reporting name: Fatal) is a single-seat, single-engine jet aircraft developed in the Soviet Union by Davydov Design Bureau in Volgograd in 2009.
Shortly after the adoption of the Da-30 Aircraft, the Soviet Air Force identified a number of problems with the aircraft, particularly, the military was not satisfied with the long-timed engines response, which was vital for ground support aircraft.
The Davydov Design Bureau, taking into account the identified shortcomings, began work on the modernization of the aircraft, which led to the creation of a new aircraft.
New aircraft received new Nikolaev VN-6000 engine instead of two old VN-260s, which improved it's acceleration performance.
Unlike the previous aircraft, Da-32 received new Soviet made avionics.
Da-32 has common weaponary with Da-30, except new two 30mm autocannons equipped with 400 rounds of ammunition each.
