Ideas... Used by the Russians for defense around positions at Stalingrad and other cities. Proved to be somewhat effective so long as speeds were not excessive. Some that had been captured by the Germans were captured by the Americans and tested by the USAAF and the RAF. A few BI-6 planes were captured from various positions in the Pacific and were tested by the USAF. Some of these abondoned positions included Korea where they became popular anti-Superfortress weapons. The excess stocks from the USSR were sold off to countries including Egypt where they were used to fight the Israelis in 1948. They proved to be devastating against most planes in the Independence War, but were eventually beaten by the J7W1 and J7W2 planes that the IDAF got from Italy.
