(OP SACRET
of the political and industrial centers of the USSR. It is estimated to have
2,100 fighters of which 1,000 are jets.
The Naval Air Force, 3,100 aircraft, uses the same types of aircraft
as the Military Air Force plus a torpedo-carrying type. It is organized to
support each of six Soviet Fleets.
The Soviets are believed to be deficient in electronics, instruments,
spare parts, high altitude bombing equipment, maintenance, and are relatively
inexperienced in all-weather and long-range operations.
The 1948 production of aircraft in the Soviet Union is estimated at
12,000 aircraft of which approximately 6,200 were combat types including
1,619 jet fighters.
The Soviets are conducting intensive experimental and development
efforts in jets, with emphasis on fighters.
The Soviet Air Show showed only normal progress in jet development.
None of the swept-back wing fighters displayed is believed to be in series
production.
