Ilyushin Il-23A lyagushka-byk

Auto Credit Based on TheOfficalMarylander's Russian Aircraft Challenge!

The Ilyushin Il-23A Iyagushka-byk (Bullfrog) is a twin engined ground attack aircraft developed by the Soviet Union. The aircraft never saw soviet use, sadly, as the Soviet Union dissolved before its first flight in 1992. It was pulled out of storage for a combat test during the Russian invasion of Crimea in 2014, but it was found to be less cost effective compared to the already proven Sukhoi Su-25 Frogfoot. This is a challenge aircraft. I used purely russian weapons as well, to give it that russian flair.
