I know. But I am not aware of specially set up and trained units that did this. It may be that I am wrong on this. Do your sources indicate that such attacks were organized on a formal basis, like the Kamikazes?

Let's talk Cold War Bombers:

The huge turboprop bomber, code named "Bear" by NATO, was a mainstay of the Soviet Strategic bomber fleet during the Cold War ( and is still in use today ). Another long range monster was also employed be the USSR for much the same purposes, except this one was powered by four massive turbojets. What was its NATO code name?

1) Badger
2) Beagle
3) Crane
4) Bison

Nope. The Badger was the TU-16, a capable twin jet bomber. The one in question was the Bison, or Myasishchev Mya-4, a large strategic bomber which was first delivered to Soviet squadrons around 1955 and was used fairly extensively for several decades.

Some more quizzes for today:

In the early-1950 France developed an effective twin- jet attack bomber which was used with great effect by the Israelis in their early wars with the Arab powers. Can you identify it?

And another:

The F-15 carries two electronic countermeasure aerials (ECMs ). Where are these located?

1) On its wingtips
2) In pods under the fuselage
3) On top of the tail fins

[Epapazian]

One more for now:

The F-9F Panther has an airbreak system which can be used when needed. Where is this facility located?

1) Under the tail, near the arrester hook
2) Under the wings
3) Under the fuselage, just below the cockpit
4) On the sides of the rear fuselage
