Historical description

The Sukhoi Su-6 was developed in response to the Red Army’s need for a heavily armored and powerfully armed assault aircraft. The design, based on a cantilever low-wing monoplane layout, was intended to replace the popular Il-2. Although the Su-6 SA type 81/82 underwent intensive testing between 1942 and 1944, it was ultimately not mass-produced, as priority at the time was given to expanding the Ilyushin line. The type 81 version featured a single pilot seat, while the type 82 was a two-seater, with a rear gunner, resulting in differences in details and armament between the variants. The aircraft is mainly known for participating in air shows and trials on the Eastern Front during World War II.
