Production version of the KhAl-5. The R-10 was a wooden low-wing monoplane. They saw combat during the war with Finland, but proved to be slow and vulnerable. 490 built.
I knew I had escorted them. They did get slaughtered by the Finns too, when I was escorting them. We met up with a group of Blenheims escorted by Hawks, I burnt a Blenheim and damaged another one. Those rear guns on the Blenheims are swines! And my I-16 kept drifting upwards...when I was trying to stay under the bugger...
I recognize it from the stubbiness and cannons... (Edit ~ Which it seems to be missing, on further examination... There are usually three in the nose, very pronounced - they stick out a LOT)
