NKL-26
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The NKL-26 was an armoured aerosan introduced by the Soviet Union during the Second World War, based on the earlier NKL-6 (OSGA-6). It was made of plywood and had a ten-millimetre armour plate on the front only, and was armed with a 7.62mm DT machine gun in a ring mount. It was powered by an M-11G aircraft engine.
Each NKL-26 had a crew of 2. NKL-26s were organzied into battalions of 30 NKL-16s with a transport company of NKL-16s - each with three companies of 10. Each company was organized as three platoons of three vehicles, and a commander's vehicle.
Combat Aerosans often worked with ski troops battalions, and could carry found ski troopers riding outside the vehicle on its skis.
