How to fight the "Night witches". From the memoirs of the pilot of the regiment "Night witches" Natasha Kravtsova. Waiting for my turn to take off, I started the engine. The front line was crossed at a high altitude. From here we laughed at the German anti-aircraft gunners and searchlights who couldn't reach us. With two minutes to go, I turned off the engine and glided down. The railway station lay in front of us. We can clearly see echelons with German tanks on the tracks. Flying low. Our plane 2 stands out clearly against the background of moonlit clouds. It makes me feel like I went out without a dress. The station is closer, the enemy can see our plane below. This is the most unpleasant moment when you know that they are going to start shooting at you. Suddenly, the floodlights turn on. The plane is immediately put in the cross beams. Not paying attention to them, the Navigator of the Nina is busy aiming. I maintain a battle course, trying not to look at the ground where the searchlight mirrors are blinding. I can't even go a little off course. Otherwise you'll miss. The first anti-aircraft gun barked. Then another. Shell bursts fall somewhere higher. Anti-aircraft gunners correct the error. Bright flashes are approaching the plane. I want to turn off, but I can't. Seconds seem like hours. Finally, the goal is below us. The plane rocked as the bombs came off. Four high-explosive bombs of fifty kilograms each fly down. Ready - shouts Navigator Nina, half-leaning out of the cockpit, looking at the ground. At times like this, I'm always afraid that she might fall out of the cockpit after the bombs. Came shouts Nina. Laying a deep roll, I throw the plane away from the beams of searchlights and anti-aircraft guns. The air smells of burning and gunpowder. Constantly maneuvering. The wind is whistling in my ears. The plane shudders from the explosion of shells. I want to curl up into a ball. I squeeze the maximum out of the engine to get out of the firing zone. We go North to the sea. The plane is descending. Ahead, the sea glows like steel. We are going down even lower. Waves fluttered under the wing. The anti-aircraft guns stopped firing. The searchlights went out. The Germans thought we had fallen into the sea. And Nina and I realized that we were out of the nightmare we were in. Look at the wing, the Navigator called to me. Turning my head, I saw two large holes in the lower wing. Pieces of paneling dangled like flags. We'll get there, " I said. The control of the plane was in order, and the plane continued to fly confidently. All fears were over and we returned home safely. Where we were expected.

I don't care what nation you speak of, whether it is men or women. Warfare is a HUMAN endeavor, and not limited to just men. And whether they were officially recognized for their bravery and service matters not, because they will forever be immortalized whenever their story is told -- whether a young boy is reading about the Eastern Front, or a young woman is listening to Sabaton.

Как воевали «Ночные ведьмы». Из воспоминаний пилота полка «Ночные ведьмы» Наташи Кравцовой. Дождавшись своей очереди взлететь, я запустила мотор. Линию фронта пересекли на большой высоте. Отсюда мы посмеивались над немецкими зенитчиками и прожектористами, которые не могли нас достать. До цели осталось две минуты, приглушив мотор я спланировала вниз. Перед нами как на ладони лежала железнодорожная станция. Мы отчетливо видим эшелоны с немецкими танками на путях. Летим низко. Наш самолет ПО 2 отчетливо выделяется на фоне освещенных луной облаков. От этого у меня ощущение словно я вышла на улицу без платья. Станция ближе, внизу противник видит наш самолет. Это самый неприятный момент, когда знаешь что сейчас начнут в тебя стрелять. Внезапно включаются прожектора. Самолет сразу попадает в перекрестие лучей. Не обращая внимания на них штурман Нина занята прицеливанием. Я выдерживаю боевой курс, стараясь не смотреть на землю где ослепительно горят зеркала прожекторов. Мне нельзя даже немного свернуть с курса. Иначе промахнешься. Рявкнула первая зенитная пушка. За ней другая. Разрывы снарядов ложатся где то выше. Зенитчики исправляют ошибку. Яркие вспышки приближаются к самолету. Хочется свернуть, но нельзя. Секунды кажутся часами. Наконец цель под нами. Самолет качнуло, это оторвались бомбы. Четыре фугасные бомбы по пятьдесят килограмм каждая летят вниз. Готово - кричит штурман Нина, наполовину высунувшись из кабины, глядя на землю. В такие моменты я всегда боюсь как бы она не выпала из кабины вслед за бомбами. Попали - кричит Нина. Заложив глубокий крен, бросаю самолет в сторону от лучей прожекторов и стрельбы зениток. В воздухе пахнет гарью и порохом. Постоянно маневрирую. Ветер свистит в ушах. Самолет вздрагивает от разрыва снарядов. Хочется сжаться в комок. Выжимаю из мотора максимум, чтобы уйти из зоны обстрела. Уходим на север, к морю. Самолет снижается. Впереди отливает сталью море. Снижаемся еще ниже. Под крылом замелькали барашки волн. Перестали стрелять зенитки. Погасли лучи прожекторов. Немцы подумали что мы упали в море. И до нас с Ниной дошло, что мы выбрались из того кошмара в котором мы оказались. Посмотри на крыло - крикнула мне штурман. Повернув голову я увидела две больших пробойны в нижнем крыле. Словно флаги болтались куски обшивки. Ничего долетим - ответила я. Управление самолетом было в порядке, и самолет продолжал уверенно лететь. Все страхи оказались позади и мы спокойно вернулись домой. Где нас ждали.

Before the war, the PO-2 was a training aircraft that was used in flying clubs to train pilots. There were many such planes in the country and many people who could fly them (including women). Here, from them and began to form shelves equipped with PO-2. The aircraft PO-2 was outdated and slow-moving, but under its characteristics came up with a fairly effective tactic for its use. This is the night bombing of the near rear of the Germans. During the flight to the enemy, one plane dropped 200 kg of deadly cargo. During the night, the planes PO-2 made several departures (up to 6 times). Bombed from a low altitude (300-500 meters). The infantry units spoke very well about the results of the work of the crews of PO-2. the Effect of them was great, because they bombed very accurately. They flew up to the target stealthily with the engine turned off, dropped their cargo, and quickly left the firing zone. There were losses, but it was not easy to shoot down PO-2. The projectiles pierced through it, and it continued to fly. The accident was caused by a projectile being fed into the engine or into the pilot. There were cases when the pilot was killed, but the plane was brought to the airfield by the Navigator. There were cases when a damaged plane landed on an emergency landing on enemy territory, after which the pilots made their way through the front line to their own. By the way, the Germans knew that women fly on the PO 2 at night. They seriously thought they were witches with special powers that made them so difficult to shoot down.

Конечно могла!А ещё можно было попасть прямым выстрелом из "вальтера" в летчицу. Неужели вы думаете, что при тактике "ночных ласточек", когда двигатель выключается заранее большой шанс попасть в тёмный фон даже из пулемёта по непрестрелянному "тёмному фону", который занимает все небо. Поверьте, шансы близки к нулю.. Я стрелял ночью без подсветки по более узкому сектору с трассерами и результат смешной) а в коменданских частях и частях охранения возможно были и более опытные люди, но стрелковое оружие явно было более примитивный) так что не согласен) но это моё мнение, бывали и чудеса

In fact, the plane "Night witches" was what is now called a drone. According to its characteristics, it was a manned drone that delivered bombs to the exact address in complete silence, and disappeared into the night sky. Admirable is the fact that these planes were flown by young girls who were 17-25 years old. During the night, they made 5-6 sorties to the near rear of the enemy. They took a lot of risks, their flying skills helped them in the fight against the fascist anti-aircraft gunners.

Formally, the plane "Night witches" was ranked as a night bomber. In reality, in peacetime, it was a training aircraft for flight schools. With the beginning of the war,it was slightly redesigned, made suspensions for bombs and equipment for flying at night.The plane was operated by two people, the pilot and Navigator. This aircraft was assigned the task of bombing the enemy's near rear. The plane coped well with this task. 4 bombs of 50 kg were hung on it. During the night, the plane made up to 5 flights. It turns out that one ton of deadly cargo fell on the enemy's head with extreme accuracy. It was very effective. And the most amazing thing is that these planes were flown by female pilots. Most of them served in civil aviation before the war, but there were many female students who learned to fly before the war as a hobby. All of them went to the front and they went through the entire war as pilots of these biplanes.

The events that can be seen in this video took place in 1941-45. This is the Second World War. It is clear that the biplanes of the Night Witches are very similar to the First World War. The Polikarpov 2 aircraft was a dual-control training aircraft before the war. This circumstance made it possible to convert it into a night bomber. It was equipped with equipment for flying at night and with suspensions for bombs. The crew consisted of a pilot and a navigator. At night, the planes flew into the near rear of the Germans and very accurately bombed them from an altitude of 300-400 meters. It was very similar to what is now called a drone. These planes were flown by girls. They were determined and skilled pilots.
