With engine turned off.

[@elusive6119]

Until the mass appearance of radars at the end of the war, this tactic worked. The first stealth developed by the Horton brothers, their project is the basis of the b-2. In addition, the theory of diffraction of radio waves in the 60s was developed by Professor Ufimtsev. since pure stealth is ineffective (the Professor also calculated the method of detection by corelation of data from several radars) in Russia, pure stealth is not applied. Ufimtsev went to the United States in the 80's and calculated the shape of the glider for the b-2 with horizontal planes, rather than the primitive chopped f-117. Pure stealth is not possible, so just reducing visibility is used in pakfa and F22.

[@XxXDemonhunter]

@@elusive6119 sorry for being a peasant, but why pure stealth isn't possible?

[@elusive6119]

@@XxXDemonhunter Because the effective scattering area will change as the target moves relative to the locators, the target will be visible as a Christmas tree when maneuvering. It is only possible to reduce the visibility and, having found out the location of the locators of their model and frequency, calculate the most advantageous corridor for the attack, but in the presence of an integrated air defense system, it will register a moving anomaly (aberration of radio wave reflection), which will be identified using L-locators from several hundred km. This is very simplified. Stealth is relevant for cruise missiles and gliding bombs, against single targets that do not have modern shelled air defense systems. For aircraft, this technology is again applicable only in the framework of confrontation with a technically weak enemy, as a method of reducing the guaranteed detection distance for the use of weapons.

[@alyaboo9051]

Night witches are girls no older than 25 years old, this nickname was given to them by the Nazis. They were so called because they flew on wooden planes, these planes are not visible on the radar, they emit a very quiet hum for the plane and they cannot be seen in the night sky. The girls took advantage of this and attacked at night, dropping 150-200 kg of explosives at a time, they said that they could carry out several such bombings during the night. But since the sound can even slightly determine the location of the aircraft and get to guess, the “witches” did the tricky maneuver. Approaching the enemy’s shelter, they turned off the aircraft engine so that it was impossible to determine their location by sound, quietly dropped and dropped bombs, turned on the engine and flew away. The Germans heard a rumble in the distance, then it abruptly stopped. They were confused, like where did the plane go? They didn’t even expect Autors Sofi Ermolenko

[@arsenalhistory5570]

I read the memoirs of a German soldier,they could not build fires in the cold at night to warm themselves, so as not to be the target of night witches and received frostbite, they were also tormented by fear

[@VRichardsn]

Radar can most definitely detect those planes.

[@daniellioi5399]

​@@VRichardsn Radar wasn't very good back then, wood and canvas reflect a lot less than metal. They also flew at very low altitude, which even today is an effective way to evade radar. Many of the Night Witches completed 800 missions. While few american bomber crew reached 25. 25 missions in a american heavy bomber and you could go home.

[@VRichardsn]

@@daniellioi5399 Radar certainly wasn't awesome, but OP clearly said the planes "were not visible on radar", which is clearly not true.

They couldn't accelerate more quickly. What made them difficult to hit was that their max speed was lower than the stall speed of a Me 109 or a Fw 190, flying at treetop level. Made it almost impossible to get behind them for long enough to line up a shot, otherwise you'd stall your plane and crash, or overshoot them and fly right past. They were also more maneuverable than either of the German planes. The Luftwaffe ended up resorting to using their own 1930s era biplanes to conduct similar tactics in night attack groups.

[@ecag2138]

Historic fact: The story of the Russian female pilots of the 588:th bomber regiment. Their nickname “Night Witches” comes from the characteristic sound of their bomb planes that was all that could be heard during their nightly raids since they set their engines to idle and would glide through the night to their target. This sound brought the enemies thoughts to the broomsticks of witches, and they called them “Nachthexen”.

[@evilbetty9423]

Imagine how much that would fuck with the people who survived a Night Witch raid, one moment, utter silence, then the sound of canvas in the breeze, and then fire, death, and explosions all around you. After that, how many random things in the night would sound like the Night Witches had come again? Every stray breeze, every flag flapping in the wind, the silhouette of a large bird at night, any of these things might make you think you're about to be bombed again.

Wow! Such a powerful song about legendary regiment 588! I don't know if you people know, but as the planes were too damn loud, they would turn off the planes and glide on air current. In addition to this, these badass ladies climbed onto the wing of a plane and detached bombs by hand because sometimes bombs wouldn’t release. The commander, Irina Sebrova, flew over 90 day and 1000 night missions. Oh, and they had no parachutes...

[@DemonRuby]

Indeed, you are correct. I found an interesting post about it: "Nadia Popova explained in an interview several years ago that they flew without radar, guns and radio. They simply had maps and a compass. To save weight, they also flew without parachutes, so if you were downed, that was it. She went on to say: “When you looked out to see the target better, you got frostbite. Our feet froze in our boots, but we continued flying. There was no time to give way to emotions. Those who gave in were gunned down and they were burned alive in their aircraft, as they had no parachutes.” And the bonus: "Not only did all three units have women pilots, but the engineers and ground crew were also women."

The thing that gets me is I did gliding back when I was learning to fly in the cadets. You have a tiny biplane with no engine at all pulled up by a bigger aircraft to altitude and then you glide down, relying entirely on your own ability to guide the glider without any power. It’s terrifying. I was doing that at 17-18, around the same age a lot of the night witches were BUT I was in a modern glider, with a parachute, wasn’t climbing out on the wings to drop bombs and didn’t need to restart an engine asap midflight while being shot at. Nothing but the utmost respect for anyone capable of doing that.

Sabaton's comments section is one of the healthiest I've seen, cheers to it. Also, cheers to the Night Witches, may the memory of these warriors live forever. When back after the war, unfortunatelly, due to bigotry that existed even in URSS, they were kind of prevented from solidly continuing their aviation career, and it’s shamefully ungrateful.

Yep. Real women fight back! Women role in war often gets pushed back and even ignored. We are often in the shadows, the spies, the scouts, and we move entire tides of war. Heck, one of America’s greatest spies in the field was a woman..... Initially the Nazis thought a female spy was laughable. By the end of the war, one was on Hitlers number 1 to kill list. Her code name? “The Lady Who Limps”. She had a prosthetic leg due to a hunting accident but she gathered intelligence like a boss and committed espionage like one does her nails. Even though the Nazis knew she “limped”, she always tricked them and escaped via cunning or disguise. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. Never underestimate the “weaker sex”.

Это были смелые девушки. Слава и вечная память! Горжусь. Почему немцы прозвали их "ночными ведьмами"? Самолет По-2 (У-2), был тихоходным и днем представлял легкую добычу для зенитной артиллерии - Эти самолеты к началу войны были сильно устаревшими. Они вообще не были предназначены для войны. Самолеты были деревянные, их кабины были открыты. Никакого вооружения предусмотрено не было. Поэтому летали ночью. Максимальная бомбовая нагрузка - 300 кг. Часто полк перелетал вечером ближе к линии фронта и оттуда несколько раз за ночь вылетал на бомбежки. ПАРАШЮТОВ У ДЕВУШЕК НЕ БЫЛО!!!!!!! Летая на сверхмалых высотах парашют не спасет, в 1943 году парашюты заставляли одевать, но девушки предпочитали вместо них взять дополнительно 20 кг. бомб. К цели подлетали на малых оборотах на самой низкой высоте. Перед целью набирали резко высоту. Во время пикирования девушки выключали двигатели самолетов. Единственный звук который слышали немцы раздавался из-за трения деревянных крыльев о воздух. Кому-то это напомнило звук метлы, на которых традиционно летают ведьмы. Все бомбардировки проходили ночью, поэтому и ведьмы стали ночными.

You know, they werent very effective unit in terms of actual damage, one heavy bomber raid would inflict more damage than 20 night withches operations. But their raids were devastating for enemy morale. Imagine how it feels to never be safe from the sudden death caused by a silent bomber, no matter day or night, clear skies or heavy cluds. You went to bushes to pee- boom- you are dead. You just finish your chores and went to bed- boom- you are dead. You were brushing your teeths in the morning- boom- you are dead. They ofc could shoot these biplanes down with AA-guns or fighter crafts could track these slow-pacing planes and down them, but never before the bombs fell. Never.

[@Weffi76]

actualy most of the times, they could not, becuse theese planes had such a low stall speed, that most air craft at that era, could not even hit them, becuse they did fly past them before that, whit no chance to stay on their tail to aim, AA guns did work to some extent, but AA guns are desinged again to attack planes on higher altitudes, meening trying to hit a low flying plane was way harder or close to impossible at times, specialy at night you could not hit anything, though if you did hit one of those planes, most of the times, it did blow to peaces totaly.

[@steirqwe7956]

@@Weffi76 You are wrong about some things. First of all yes- biplanes has significantly lower stall speed than fighter crafts but that doesn't mean they were hard targets, in fact the opposite- slow biplane is easy target for fighter plane that can freely climb at higher altitudes and attack it from above, being free to repeat if nessesary. Second- yes some AA guns such as famous german '88 flak canon were specifically designed to fight high altitude targets, but there were other types of AA guns designed to fight low altitude targets like attack planes or scout planes. Namely quad machineguns armed with incendiary ammunition. These could turn biplane like this into wreckage with a half-second second "Burp". So flying in one of these birds was really dangerous, as soon as you are detected you basically doomed.

[@thedarksun86]

You won't =( They do not have Night Witches on setlist...

[@LorcanWard]

Strange, all the recent shows have a very short setlist but gigs back in September had Night Witches after the Intermission. I hope they play it on their EU tour.

[@HumanGuardian01]

Lorcan Ward Quebec city two days ago, no night witches BUT To hell and back live is worth enough

[@1TruNub]

Damn. Went to their concert last year. The comrades and I fought valiantly in the pit, and were 2 thirds through the concert. The moshing was becoming exhausted yet kept going, still less brutal by far. And I can just remember when the participants heard the first few cords, it was like everyone got injected with adrenaline. The pit gave its all on that one.

The moment you realize the Russian communist party is just as facist as the German socialist party.

[@γιουργια]

@ whaaat? I meam the Communist party of Russian federation has many problematic views but how the hell are they Nazi? Also, German socialist party? You mean The Left(Die linke)? They are reformist socialists lmao,no fascists. The only major political party that has some fascists in Germany is AfD. But Die Linke hates AfD.

"Our training aircraft were not created for military action. Wooden biplane with two open cockpits, arranged one after the other, and dual controls for pilot and Navigator. (Before the war these machines were trained pilots). No radio, and armored backs of the chairs that can protect the crew from bullets with a low-powered engine, which could reach a maximum speed of 120 km/h. The plane was not the bomb Bay, the bombs were suspended in the bomb racks directly under the plane of the aircraft. No sights, we have created them ourselves and called PPR (piece of cake). The number of bomb load was varied from 100 to 300 kg. In average, we took 150-200 kg. But during the night a plane could make several sorties and total bomb load was comparable with the load of a large bomber." - I. V. Rakobolskaya, N. F. Kravtsov. We were called night witches
