The An-12 Soviet military transport aircraft (or 'Cub' according to NATO classification) was produced at the end of the1950s under the guidance of O.K. Antonov. From the very beginning of its long service the intended principal mission of this aircraft was transportation; however, as the years passed, its role in the Soviet Air Force changed repeatedly due to the fact that this aircraft was capable of performing so many roles not originally envisaged. The An-12PP built in 1970 was one of the most interesting (and at the same time the most secret) modifications. During this period air defense systems were very dominant and the role of an air force during the era of the Cold War had somewhat decreased due to the threat of major losses of flight crew in the opening phases of potential conflict. The rapid development of air-to-air missiles was also a negative factor, especially after the introduction of missiles with homing warheads. |
