A & A Models 7211 IL-102

Ilyushin Ił-102 was a Soviet prototype attack-bomber from the post-war period. The prototype flight took place in September 1982. The machine, however, never entered mass production. The drive was provided by two Klimow RD-33 turbofan engines, 51 kN each. The on-board armament consisted of two 23 mm and 30 mm cannons. The machine could also carry a load of bombs or rockets weighing up to 7,200 kilograms.

The Il-102 aircraft was created on the de facto grassroots initiative of the Iljushyn plant, whose management decided to significantly develop the mass-produced Il-40 and the prototype Il-42 aircraft. In the design of this aircraft, the emphasis was primarily on high resistance to damage, and the machine was very well armored. It was also armed with a remotely controlled turret with a 23mm gun in the tail section, which was incredible for the 1980s. The machine, however, did not enter mass production, as it did not offer any significant progress compared to the Su-25 already produced. Only a few prototypes of this unusual plane were created - according to some sources, only two copies.
