Fake history of mankind. Night Witches

In light of the recent plane crashes with the participation of passenger liners in Kazan and Rostov-on-Don, when the pilots dropped technically serviceable cars to the ground, the layman began to think about what goes through the armored door of the cockpit at critical moments of flight, when the situation goes beyond regular.

And the following happens there. The technique has become so complicated that the pilots no longer understand how to act in those critical seconds that take their lives to make the only right decision. And, as a result, in these seconds in the cockpit there is a loss of control of the aircraft.

Least of all I want to cast a shadow on the flight crew, and even more so on the bright memory of their dead colleagues. But life is arranged in such a way that there are only a few pilots from God, and for the majority it is just a job. And, believe me, no one knows how each of us will behave, looking into the eyes of death. Few people manage to maintain their composure during such moments. This is confirmed by the transcripts of speech recorders, from which we hear how the brave PIC, who has flown more than one thousand hours, suddenly instantly ceases to be such and hides his confusion behind profanity. This is the very notorious human factor that the IAC has been talking about for many years.

But the increased complexity of aviation technology and the impossibility of calculating the algorithm of pilots' actions for each emergency situation is only one of the reasons for the plane crashes. There is another enemy of the pilot in the air. It is only on earth that the human vestibular apparatus is our irreplaceable friend and helper. In the air, in conditions of limited visibility, when the horizon line is not visible, the vestibular apparatus begins to give the brain false information, which leads to the pilot losing spatial orientation and the death of the aircraft after a few seconds (depending on the altitude) of the "blind" flight.

To prevent this from happening, the aircraft is equipped with instruments for flight in conditions of limited visibility. These are: attitude indicator, altimeter, compass, airspeed indicator, direction indicator and variometer. For a safe flight, the pilot must keep an eye on the instruments and constantly analyze their readings. It is self-evident that it is easiest to instrument a heavy, course-stable aircraft when flying in a straight line at a constant altitude.

It would seem that the problem has been solved, but do not rush to rejoice. Mortal danger lies in wait for the pilot when, even for a short time, he is distracted from the instruments or simply relaxes or gets tired. The human brain is designed in such a way that as soon as the instrument arrows go beyond some critical limits of normal flight readings, it is no longer able to quickly put together and comprehend the information coming from them, and issue the correct commands to hands and feet. There comes a loss of spatial orientation by the pilot and the countdown to death went on for seconds. What are these critical limits of instrument readings? Each pilot has his own. In a pilot's brain, at a dangerous moment, a picture of the spatial position of the aircraft should instantly be drawn based on the readings of the arrows and the numbers of the instruments, and this is far from always a feasible task.

Such devices were also on the legendary Po-2 night bomber, on which the famous "night witches" of the 46th Guards Night Bomber Aviation Regiment bombed the Germans.

Now let's think about it: is it true what we know about this historical fact?

So, the night (we are considering a moonless one), the front-line airfield, Po-2, there are two girls in the cockpit and they are preparing to fly to perform a deadly mission. The navigator calculates on the map the course to the target and the time in flight, taking into account the corrections for the direction and speed of the wind. We take off. As a sailor, I can say that a ship can sail in the sea (far from the coast) quite confidently, plotting a dead reckoning course, taking into account the speed and direction of the current. But air is a different element and drifts are not like sea ones.

A small plane falls into air pockets, it is blown away by the wind, which will complicate instrument piloting many times over. And now, if a miracle happened and you have not yet fallen into a tailspin, according to the navigator's calculations (and this is a 100% error if there are no landmarks), you are above the target.

What's next? There is no sight for bombing, and it is not needed, since the Germans are not fools and their positions below are not highlighted, and in general: blackout in war is an axiom. Where are we bombing? "Bombed", we lay down on the opposite course. The navigator can look at a map of the area with a flashlight, or he can read the Murzilka magazine with the same success, the result is the same: you will never find your way back to the airfield before dawn. Because on the way to the goal, you were blown away by the wind from the true course, you don't know where and you need to determine your location in order to plot the correct return course. How? Ask passers-by? Sooner or later, you have to sit down somewhere. You need a level platform, but even if you are incredibly lucky with it, you still need to accurately calculate the moment of meeting the ground, which is oh so difficult, even with a landing light, variometer and altimeter. Too much if …

The conclusions are as follows:

1. It is impossible to fly at night, and even in combat conditions, and even on a maximally loaded light-engine aircraft, such as Po-2, by instruments. Yes, visual flight is possible on a clear moonlit night, when the pilot sees the horizon line, and the navigator can "tie" the map to the terrain, but then what is the effectiveness of such a bomber aircraft?

2. Women's psyche and physiology are not adapted to such moral and physical overloads as controlling a laden Po-2 by instruments at night, and even in battle.

3. We also lose sight of the moral aspect of the situation with female pilots (as well as with nurses on the battlefield): I do not believe that our grandfathers stooped to hiding behind women's backs and instead of themselves sent girls on deadly missions (even without parachutes, can you imagine ?!), whose lives they just had to protect at their own cost. This is contrary to masculine nature. After all, the slow-moving Po-2 at an altitude of 500-800 meters has no chance of surviving under anti-aircraft fire. And for what? To drop a few small bombs off target? War is a purely man's business and a woman does not belong on the front line.

4. Notice with what frightening regularity small aircraft are fighting in our time. And this is in the absence of hostilities, accompanying psychological stresses, on incommensurably better equipment, with satellite navigators, as a rule during the day …. Everyone is fighting: novice cadets, and respectable entrepreneurs who bought the license, and experienced instructors with many years of experience. Even the last of Kennedy's offspring crashed. And you want me to believe that young girls, after several months of flying school, are guiding a loaded bomber to the target on the instruments through the night, through the curtain of anti-aircraft fire and blinding searchlights? And so 5-10 times (some historians have added to this) per night?

I believe that night witches never existed. Yes, there were women pilots in the war. They were engaged in the evacuation of the wounded, the delivery of food and ammunition. And a deep bow to them for that. But that they were sent on deadly missions (especially for night bombing), so I will never believe. Because, as it contradicts everything: the nature of men and women, common sense, aircraft piloting technique, military expediency, finally.

Women at the front were always protected. A real man will never send a woman under bullets to burn her alive in a downed plane or be torn apart by fragments of anti-aircraft shells. Only men should go to death.

What is it: a patriotic legend, similar to the myth of the Panfilov heroes, or a part of a history invented for humanity? I do not know. And what happened to us? Why have our moral values been turned upside down? I'm talking about the fact that you can't recklessly believe everything that has been written about the Second World War, and about other significant historical events.

I am talking about the space-time capsule in which we exist. About the properties of this space-time. And they are different from what we were taught in school. And many historical events, perhaps, never happened or happened at all, but not in the way we know about it. Something happens to our reality that does not fit into our understanding of it. And the still obvious historical facts, upon closer examination, become not so obvious.

There is a paradox: we know that a certain event in history took place and sometimes we even find material traces of it, but upon critical analysis we suddenly discover that it was impossible.

They will rightly reproach me: what can a sailor know about the sky ?! I will answer: as a yachtsman, the air ocean is close to me, because there is a wing on a yacht, and lift, and roll, and trim (aka pitch), and pitching (turbulence), and drift, and dead reckoning and much more, that these two seemingly different elements have in common….

They also reproach that, due to my low moral qualities and having sold myself to the Jewish Masons, I judge by myself and am not able to rise to the heights of the spirit of that highly moral military generation. Then explain to me what category should be attributed to 3.5 million representatives of that highly moral generation (and this is almost half of the personnel of the Red Army at the beginning of the war) who surrendered (they surrendered, and did not get wounded) in captivity in the first six months of the war? Are they heroes, victims, traitors? And where are the Vlasovites, the policemen, the Banderaites, the forest brothers, etc.? And the order of the People's Commissar of Defense No. 227, so that the second half of the Red Army does not scatter?

Like I'm belittling the feat of the Soviet soldier…. Excuse me, but what is the feat? That the men fled leaving their cities and villages, their population to mock the enemy and massively surrendered, instead of standing to death? And four years later, did they come to their senses and expelled the enemy from their land? The feat should not be confused with the sacred duty of a man to protect his Fatherland, his women, children and the elderly. Glory to those who honestly performed this duty!
