Description
Contemporary Russia remains an acknowledged world leader in aviation, notwithstanding the country's present complicated position. Powerful military and civil aircraft have been built in Russia during the past several years and dozens of well-known design bureaus are working on new aviation technology. Their products, including "MiG" and "Su" fighters, "Tu" bombers, and "An" gigantic transports, are known world-wide. At the dawn of its aviation development, Russia used many types of foreign planes. During the 1920s and 1930s, for example, Russia purchased Italian aircraft and engines. This article deals with the exploitation of Italian planes beginning in World War I. At the end of 1916, Italy and Russia signed a mutual aid agreement whereby Italy would deliver a variety of military equipment in return for Russian wood, metal, oil, wheat, potash, and sodium carbonate. The Italian government extended a credit line of 400 millions lire to Russia to purchase military technology and equipment.
