#SputnikInfographic | La-5: A 3D Look at a Key Piece of Soviet Victory Equipment
Sputnik presents 3D models of Victory equipment that broke the back of the World War II.
The Lavochkin La-5 was a Soviet fighter plane. It was a development and improvement of the earlier LaGG-3, using the significantly more potent Shvetsov ASh-82 radial engine in place of the earlier model's inline engine.
It was one of the most powerful warplanes in the Soviet Air Force when it was in service, competing with German aircraft on a level playing field.
Armed with two 100 kilogram bombs and twin 20 mm ShVAK cannons, the single seat La-5s had a 1,000 km range.
