Talk:Ilyushin Il-54

Unclear
"The delegation was told that the Il-54 was the Il-149, as part of a deception programme. As a result, the Il-54 was assigned far more importance than it actually warranted, "

I am unclear on how calling the plane one name instead of another garners it far more importance. It seems something is missing here. Maury Markowitz (talk) 00:57, 17 July 2021 (UTC)


 * I think it's referring to it being shown to the delegation in the first place, which is the sentence before what you've quoted. Howee, as written, it's unclear what role the fake designation had, if any. Unfortunately, I don't have access to the original source. BilCat (talk) 01:44, 17 July 2021 (UTC)
