Description
Description
The Reggiane Re 2002 "Ariete" was developed to provide the Regia Aeronautica with a more modern and effective ground attack aircraft. Based on the airframe of the Reggiane Re 2000 fighter, the aircraft was equipped with a higher-performance engine than its predecessor and featured enhanced armament.
In addition to the two machine guns mounted in the nose, two more machine guns were added in the wings, and the aircraft could carry an offensive bomb load of up to 500 kg. The flight units equipped with the Re 2002 were deployed by the Regia Aeronautica to counter the Allied invasion of Sicily in 1943 and, following Italy's armistice in September of the same year, were also used by the German Luftwaffe.
