Re: Jets & Planes but no UAV's here.
Minor OOB name change request; OBAT 011 Russia.
Unit 131 MiG-15 SD-5
[is equipped with 100 kg bombs]
Yefim Gordon's Aerofax MiG-15 book says on page 32:
MiG-15bis (izdeliye SD-5) development aircraft
In November 1952 another MiG-15bis was converted at plant No 21 in Gor'kiy. The aircraft had D3-40 shackles for carrying two FFAR pods, each with eight ORO-57 launcher tubes for ARS-57 FFARs. Firing was electrically controlled; AKS-2 gun cameras were fitted aft of the pods to record test launches. Designated izdeliye SD-5, the aircraft was tested but did not enter production.
Solution: Simply rename Unit 131 from "MiG-15 SD-5" to "MiG-15bis"
