The reliable, uncomplicated design of the Po-2 made it an ideal trainer aircraft, as well as doubling as a low-cost ground attack, aerial reconnaissance, psychological warfare and liaison aircraft during war, proving to be one of the most versatile light combat types to be built in the Soviet Union.[4] As of 1978, it remained in production for a longer period of time than any other Soviet-era aircraft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduction figures for Polikarpov U-2 and Po-2 bombers and trainers combined are between 20,000 and 33,000 with production ending as early as 1952. Precise figures are hard to obtain since low-rate production by small repair shops and aero clubs is believed to have continued until 1959.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ICM","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58089088090494,"sku":"MMMS-CML-ICM48254","price":21.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/4603\/7306\/files\/1202486-27767-15-pristine.jpg?v=1790265199","url":"https:\/\/www.mannsmodelmoments.com\/products\/icm-1-48th-scale-u-2-po-2-vs-with-soviet-pilots-gp","provider":"Mann's Model Moments","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
