This working aid has been prepared to provide information on the
military aircraft used in the Soviet Union, North Vietnam, Communist
China, and North Korea.
The performance information given is intended only to provide a
general idea of the maximum capabilities and armament of each air-
craft. Actual performance and equipment will vary widely depending
on such factors as the type of mission being flown, the load carried,
and the variant of the aircraft. The year that each aircraft variant
entered service is listed in parentheses following the description of that
variant. Two ranges are provided for the airborne intercept (AI)
radar of missile equipped fighters-search range/target tracking range.
The following specialized terms have been used to describe aircraft
performance:
Radius ......... The distance possible when flying a mission and
returning to the same base. This maximum
figure is reduced on missions in which tactical
or other considerations require flight under
less than ideal conditions.
Range ......... The distance possible on a one-way flight;
given only for transports with normal pay-
loads.
Speed ......... The maximum speed under optimum conditions.
Combat ceiling .. The altitude where the aircraft can still climb
at the rate of 500 feet per minute, i.e., can
maneuver effectively.
Cargo capacity .. The maximum load which the aircraft can trans-
port. This may be limited by the floor
strength of the cargo compartment.
A page showing the insignia found on the aircraft of the Soviet
Union and the Communist countries of Asia precedes the descriptions.
