List of most-produced aircraft
Most-produced aircraft[edit]
Notes
- Each aircraft listed is a piston-engined monoplane unless otherwise described.
- "C" indicates civilian use; "M" indicates military use. Only one is used, according to original designed purpose of the aircraft, or "best deduction".
- Role is generally either the original designed role of the aircraft or a "best deduction" based on what role dominated production, disregarding minor variants. Aircraft may be categorized as "Multirole" if no particular role was dominant.
- Nation column indicates only the original designer / producer nation.
- Production period column shows overall production date span of all types included in "Numbers produced" column, disregarding production hiatuses and changes in manufacturer, while including close variants and licensed production.
- Entries involving aircraft still in production are shown on a pale-green background .

*Σημ. Αντίλογου:
Αθροίζοντας αριθμούς μαχητικών αεροσκαφών της ΕΣΣΔ κατασκευασμένων λίγο πριν ως και λίγο μετά το τέλος του Β΄Παγκ. Πολέμου διαπιστώνουμε ότι πάνω από 150.000 καταδιωκτικά και βομβαρδιστικά κατασκευάστηκαν από αυτήν την περίοδο 1934-1945 (!!!) απο τα οποία πάνω από 130.000 μεταξύ 1940 και 1945!
Αυτό δείχνει την πυρετώδη παραγωγή μαχητικών αεροσκαφών λόγω αναμενόμενης επίθεσης της Γερμανίας (όπως φυσικά και τανκς, πυροβόλων, πολυβόλων, συστημάτων ρουκετών "Κατιούσα", πλοίων κλπ).
Στον παραπάνω πίνακα τα μαχητικά αεροσκάφη μαζικής παραγωγής της ίδιας περιόδου της Γερμανίας ήταν γύρω στα 85.000 και της Ιαπωνίας κάτω από 17.000.
Μόνη της η ΕΣΣΔ παρήγαγε πολύ περισσότερα δηλαδή από όλο τον Άξονα.
Τόσο "απροετοίμαστη" και "αποδιοργανωμένη" όπως την παρουσιάζει η δυτική προπαγάνδα ήταν...
(Η Ιταλία δεν αναφέρεται καν στον παραπάνω πίνακα μαζικής παραγωγής αεροσκαφών).Petlyakov Pe-2: Το μοναδικό δικινητήριο καθέτου εφορμήσεως στον Β΄Παγκ. Πόλεμο! Η ΕΣΣΔ παρήγαγε 11.427 απ΄αυτά!!!!
Επιπλέον, τα αεροσκάφη που παρήχθησαν μετά το 1940
Ilyushin Il-2, Petlyakov Pe-2, Yakovlev Yak-1
και τα από το 1944 Lavochkin La-5 και Ilyushin Il-10, ήταν κατά τους δυτικούς, ακόμα και Γερμανούς, ειδικούς, εφάμιλλα ή και κατά πολύ ανώτερα των καλύτερων γερμανικών μαχητικών.
Το ίδιο ακριβώς συνέβη με τα σοβιετικά άρματα μάχης έναντι των γερμανικών:
"...Είχε προηγηθεί η εκβιομηχάνιση με τους μπολσεβίκους, ένας νεωτερισμός για την αγροτική οικονομία της εποχής. Αυτό έγινε με δυο πενταετή σχέδια 1928-1932 και 1932-1937 με το πρώτο να εστιάζει στην μεταποίηση με 50 βιομηχανίες και στην εντατικοποίηση γεωργία ενώ το δεύτερο στην βαριά βιομηχανία με υψηλούς ρυθμούς ανάπτυξης αν και υπάρχει κάποιες αμφιβολίες για τα πραγματικά νούμερα.
Με βάση αυτή τη βιομηχανική δυναμικότητα οι Σοβιετικοί κατάφεραν να σχεδιάσουν και να κατασκευάσουν 58.000 Τ-34 τανκς που αποτέλεσαν την βάση του στρατού τους έχοντας ξεκινήσει από παράγωγή από μόνο 131 Τ-28 τανκς το 1939.
Όμως για να το επιτύχουν αυτό επέλεξαν επίσης την μαζική τυποποιημένη παραγωγή με ένα μόνο μοντέλο χωρίς παραλλαγές που κοστίζουν σε χρόνο και υποστήριξη. Έτσι μπορούσαν να παράγουν ένα T-34 με 35,000 εργατοώρες όταν το τεχνολογικά εξεζητημένο και με μεγάλη ισχύ Tiger που κατασκευάζονταν από ιεραρχημένες ομάδες τεχνιτών χρειάζονταν 300.000 εργατοώρες.
Τελικά οι Σοβιετικοί κατασκεύασαν 98.000 τανκς μεταξύ 1941-1945 ενώ οι Γερμανοί 44.000. Άρα οι Σοβιετικοί ήταν περισσότεροι πρακτικοί και ευέλικτοι και άρα τελικά πιο αποτελεσματικοί...."

ΠΟΛΕΜΟ
Το σοβιετικό άρμα Τ-34 αποτέλεσε από όλες τις απόψεις ένα τεράστιο βήμα προόδου, σε σχέση με τα μέτρια άρματα μάχης του υπόλοιπου κόσμου. Όταν, το 1942, τα χιτλερικά στρατεύματα εισέβαλαν αιφνιδιαστικά στη Σοβιετική Ένωση, τίποτα δεν προμήνυε ότι σε λίγους μήνες, στα μέσα του Οκτωβρίου του 1941, την πορεία τους θα ανέκοπτε το νέο και πρωτότυπο αυτό τεθωρακισμένο όχημα.

Το καινοτόμο αυτό σοβιετικό άρμα μάχης γεννήθηκε στις αρχές του Β΄ Παγκοσμίου Πολέμου λόγω της ανάγκης απόσυρσης ή αναβάθμισης των τεθωρακισμένων Τ-26 και ΒΤ-5, τα οποία η Σοβιετική Ένωση είχε παραχωρήσει στη Δημοκρατική Κυβέρνηση της Ισπανίας στη διάρκεια του Ισπανικού Εμφυλίου Πολέμου.
Ο Στάλιν υπέγραψε την εντολή έναρξης παραγωγής τον Απρίλιο του 1940 και τον Ιούνιο τα πρώτα άρματα του τύπου έβγαιναν από τη γραμμή παραγωγής.
Όταν οι Γερμανοί εμφάνισαν νέα τανκ όπως το Tiger με βαρύτερη θωράκιση, το Τ-34 απέκτησε νέο πυργίσκο και ακόμα μεγαλύτερο πυροβόλο, των 85 χιλιοστών, που παρέμεινε αποτελεσματικό ως το τέλος του πολέμου (και για καιρό μετά). Επίσης, διέθετε και δύο πολυβόλα. Όσον αφορά στην ευκινησία του, ο 8,3 λίτρων, 500 αλόγων πετρελαιο-κινητήρας V-12 που είχε του επέτρεπε να πιάνει ταχύτητα 54 χλμ/ ώρα,
ενώ οι ερπύστριές του ήταν πλατιές για να μην ασκεί μεγάλη πίεση στο έδαφος και να μπορεί να κινείται σε λάσπη και χιόνι, όπου τα γερμανικά Panzer κολλούσαν.
