Wikang Tagalog

Ang OV-10 Bronco ay isang magaan na sasakyang panghimpapawid ng eroplano ng militar na pinapagana ng mataas na wing turboprop engine (mataas na pakpak) na ginawa ng North American Rockwell bilang isang light attack sasakyang panghimpapawid at light transport sasakyang panghimpapawid. Ang turboprop-engined na sasakyang panghimpapawid ay binuo noong 1960s bilang isang espesyal na sasakyang panghimpapawid para sa COIN (COunter-INsurgency) o pakikipaglaban sa anti-gerilya. Sa kabila ng pagkakaroon ng isang nakapirming pakpak, ang kakayahan nito ay katulad ng kakayahan ng isang mabilis na mabibigat na helikopter ng pag-atake, na may kakayahang lumipad ng mahabang distansya, murang at maaasahan.

Ang pagpapatakbo sa Pilipinas

Noong Nobyembre 1991, ang iskwad ay nagsimulang tumanggap ng OV-10A Broncos mula sa Estados Unidos. Ang sasakyang panghimpapawid na ito ay napatunayan na isang epektibong platform na anti-insurgency na multi-role. Inaasahan din na palitan ang armada ng AT-28D Tora na tumatanda at bumababa. Isang kabuuan ng 24 OV-10A Broncos ay naihatid noong Hulyo 1992. Sa pagdating ng mga broncos, muling nabuhay ang kadakilaan ng iskwadron.

English

The OV-10 Bronco is a lightweight military aircraft powered by a high wing turboprop engine (high wing) manufactured by North American Rockwell as a light attack aircraft and light transport aircraft. The turboprop-engined aircraft was developed in the 1960s as a special aircraft for COIN (COunter-INsurgency) or anti-guerrilla warfare. Despite having a fixed wing, its capability is similar to the capability of a fast heavy attack helicopter, capable of flying long distances, cheaply and reliably.

Operating in the Philippines

In November 1991, the squad began receiving OV-10A Broncos from the United States. This aircraft has proven to be an effective multi-role anti-insurgency platform. The AT-28D Tora fleet is also expected to replace the aging and declining fleet. A total of 24 OV-10A Broncos were delivered in July 1992. With the arrival of the broncos, the greatness of the squadron revived.
