History
In 1932, the factory Irkutsk Aircraft Plant Stalin 125 was built here, and was expanded in 1941 during World War II.[1] By the 1960s it was known as Irkutsk Airframe Plant 39.[1] and was observed by Western satellites in August 1962. It produced the Ilyushin Il-28 Beagle, the Antonov An-12 Cub, the Yakovlev Yak-28 Brewer, and the Antonov An-24 Coke.[1] By the late 1970s the factory was involved in production of the MiG-23U (Flogger C) and ground attack MiG-23B (Flogger D/F), and produced components for the Tupolev Tu-22M Backfire bomber.[1] The factory is now known as the Irkutsk Aviation Plant.
