?ilyushin il-28 beagle? (russia) tachical jet bomber, the first soviet jet bomber to enter service in large numbers. First flown on the 8th august 1948, the il-28 entered service with v-vs bomber squadrons in 1950 and remained in service for three decades with the soviet air force and nay. It was a fairly orthodox design with a straight wing, swept tail surfaces, and two big underwing engines. The tail turret was unusual for an aircraft this size, but was considered much more efficient than a dorsal turret. It was a successful type that was exported to over 20 countries, and also served as reconnaissance aircraft, torpedo bomber, target tug, anti-submarine aircraft, and target drone. About 2000 were built. Now last 5 soviet-built il-28's may be still in service with egypt, but some 650 chinese hong-5 are in service with china, n. Korea and romania. :
