Tupolev I - 14 The Tupolev I - 14 ( also designated ANT - 31 ) was a Soviet fighter aircraft of the 1930s . It was a single - engined , single - seater monoplane with a retractable undercarriage and designed to carry a heavy armament , and as such was one of the most advanced fighters of its time . It was ordered into production , but this was cancelled after only a small number had been built , the competing Polikarpov I - 16 being preferred . Development and design . In 1932 , the Soviet Air Force developed a requirement for a high - speed monoplane fighter to serve alongside agile but slower biplane fighters . In order to meet this requirement , the Tupolev design bureau assigned a team led by Pavel Sukhoi . Sukhoi ' s team came up with the ANT - 31 , a low - winged monoplane with an unbraced cantilever wing , retractable undercarriage , an enclosed cockpit and a heavy cannon armament . As such , it was one of the most advanced fighters in the world . The aircraft had a metal monocoque fuselage , while the wings were of corrugated metal construction . The mainwheels of the conventional landing gear retracted backwards into the wing , being operated by cables driven by a handwheel turned by the pilot . The first prototype was powered by an imported 433 kW ( 580 hp ) Bristol Mercury radial engine enclosed by a NACA cowling and driving a two - bladed wooden propeller . It was armed with a single PV - 1 machine gun , with provision for two Kurchevsky APK - 37 recoilless autocannon under the wing . The ANT - 31 , given the air - force designation I - 14 ( " Istrebitel " – fighter ) , made its maiden flight on 27 May 1933 . It proved agile but difficult to handle , and with the supercharged Mercury was underpowered , particularly at low altitude . It was therefore decided to build a second prototype , the I - 14bis ( also known as the ANT - 31bis and the I - 142 with a more powerful ( 531 kW ( 712 kp ) Wright Cyclone engine , also imported , an uncorrugated wing and a new undercarriage . The I - 14bis demonstrated excellent performance , although handling was still tricky , and an order was placed for production of 55 aircraft , to be powered by the Shvetsov M - 25 , a licensed version of the Cyclone , and an armament of two 45 mm ( 1 . 8 in ) Kurchevsky APK - 11 recoilless cannons and two ShKAS machine gun s . Operational history . Deliveries began from the GAZ - 125 factory at Irkutsk , Siberia in November 1936 . The aircraft ' s armament had changed to a single ShKAS machine gun and a 20 mm ShVAK cannon as Kurchevsky ' s recoilless guns had fallen out of favour ( with Kurchevsky himself soon to be arrested ) . By this time , the rival Polikarpov I - 16 fighter was well established in production and service , and production of the I - 14 was stopped after 18 had been built , the type soon being phased out of service .

PG - 7VR The PG - 7VR is a tandem charge RPG warhead designed to penetrate up to 750 mm rolled homogeneous armour equivalence of explosive reactive armor and the conventional armor underneath . It is also capable of penetrating two metres of brick or 1 . 5m of reinforced concrete ; this is the normal penetration of the main charge . It was designed in 1988 by the Soviet Union weapons company Bazalt and based on the RPG - 7 but modified to penetrate explosive reactive armour . The small precursor charge at the tip of the rocket is designed to hit the reactive armour before the main charge and detonate it . The reactive armour plate should deploy , exploding and disrupting the precursor charge ' s HEAT jet . As reactive armor is single usage only , this renders that particular block of reactive armor useless and unable to protect against the much larger and more powerful main shaped charge , which follows immediately behind . The main charge ( filled with 1 . 43 kg OKFOL ) then explodes in the unprotected part of the target . This weapon has been showing up in use by Iraqi insurgents . On August 28 , 2003 , it achieved a mobility kill against an M1 Abrams hitting the left side hull next to the forward section of the engine compartment . It penetrated a fuel tank , flooding the compartment with fuel .
