Re: VVS operational use of Kocherigin Di-6?
Hi
Di-6 was never used over Chalchin-Gol. One of new fighter used there was I-153. No Soviet Russian new resarches confirmed of using any Di-6 there, it is well now and resarched part of using I-16 with RS-82 so there are no reason to hidden the history about Di-6 which was not good fighter.
Di-6s were used in combat over Poland in IX/X 1939, there were several tens attached to assoult regiments.
During Winter War the planes was aslo in some units but in the secondary position it was used as a spare parts "store".
During Barbarossa there were some tnes of Di-6 in unservisable condtition all lost - no comabt use in June 1941 if only single planes as a laison no any data about it.
