Even the comments by readers on this feature are of interest.
Recently, Ukrainian spotters who were on the annual summer gathering methodical tactical aviation Kulbakino published this gorgeous photo of military transport aircraft An-26 Forces of Ukraine framed four pylons for bombs and suspension actually bombs.
I certainly knew about the possibility of bombs, say with the AN-12 or AN-72 armed, but the ability to install on "little peaceful" AN-26 pylon "for external load up to 500 kg payload" was a revelation to me.
Of course, this photo captures the AN-26 with a very small "payload", but the fact that in addition to threatening the Su-25 and Su-24 similar cargo in Slavic can bring military transport An-26 and An-30 makes somewhat different perspective on what happened almost a month ago, April 22 (at the beginning of the so-called "anti-terrorist operation" in eastern Ukraine) and fire damage fotorazvedchika Ukrainian An-30B over the Slavonic.
Then it caused a strong reaction Ukrainian media, even the prosecutor's office announced the establishment of the case under article "terrorism."
