OK..... does that mean that the other three "Yak"s in the OOB should be "Jak" ? |
Of course. I think I should have written that before... (English pronunciation is the same as Yak).
One more thing. Digging deeper into 2024 article on MiG-15 in Polish aviation I've just found, that only from 1956 oldest MiG-15s were assigned to attack regiments, replacing Il-10s, and followed by Lim-2 - and only from that moment they were modified to drop bombs...
So, I suggest to keep
131 MiG-15 and
685 Lim-1 as strafers only (the difference is only in name, Lim-1 was Polish-built MiG-15, and Lim-2 - MiG-15bis).
Then, we could add MiG-15 with bombs from mid-56 until around 12/68, and make
687 Lim-2 with bombs available from 1/58 until 12/69 or 12/70.
Or, if you don't want to add new unit and multiply useless strafers, we could keep unit 131 as a bomber MiG-15 from mid/56 until 12/68 (Lim-1 would fit a strafer role a year later - or it could become available from 1/52 and pretend to be a MiG - which it technically was).
Sorry for a mess.
One more thing:
130 Yak-23 - withdrawn from combat units in 8/54 (now 12/56).
