DB-3 bomber of the 1st MTAP (mine-torpedo regiment) VVS KBF (Baltic Fleet Air Arm) 2. Iliushin Il-4 "Khabarovki Komsomol", used as a sea-mines laying aircraft. An air-born sea mine AMG-1 3. DeHavilland "Mosquito" at the tests in the USSR 4. A crew of SB-2LL-100 bomber before a mission. Despite the G.A. Golovko's (Vice-Admiral, Commander of the Northern Fleet) statement, there were enough SB bombers to organize a full scale mine laying operation at the German communication lines. 5. Of course, a Polikarpov I-16 had become obsolete by June 1941, especially as compared to the Yak-1, LaGG-3 or other newer types. But still, if flown by an experienced pilot, the cannon-armed versions could put up a good fight and give the old what-for even to the Messerschmitt Bf 110 6. An ALLG-1 on transportation dolly. During World War II such mines were used by the Soviet naval aviation at all theatres of operations 7. In the beginning of the war the DB-3 aircraft were the only carriers of mine weapons in the Soviet naval aviation. Here the armourers of the 1st MTAP VVS KBF (the 1st Mining/Torpedo Bomber Regiment of the Red Banner Baltic Fleet) deliver an AMG-1 mine to the aircraft 8. An II-4T bomber runs up the engines before a mine-laying sortie. The aircraft carries an AMG-1 mine 9. De Havilland Mosquito |
