Re: Странно. Откуда...
203 P-47Ds were also provided to the Soviet Union. There was a certain irony in sending aircraft designed by a Russian emigre back to Russia. Reactions of Soviet pilots, who were used to relatively small and nimble fighters, to the oversized Juggernaut are an interesting matter of speculation, but details of the Thunderbolt in Soviet service are unclear.
The Soviet Union was allocated 203 P-47D-22-RE and 27-RE Thunderbolts under Lend-Lease, but only 196 actually reached their destination.
