Special Soviet Aircraft for Electronic Counter Measures

'' An-12BK-PPS ''

In 1971 an An-12PP was modified again: the aircraft was further equipped with the 'Lilac' system of group defense, installed in external containers. This modification received the name An-12BK-PPS. The rapid development of electronic systems demanded constant upgrading of the special equipment. In 1974 the An-12PP was substituted by the An-12BK-PPS, the improved version. Automatic equipment for infra-red interference was installed on this type.

The An-12BK-PPS was extensively used in service until the end of the 1980s. The type mostly served along the USSR's borders during military training. After the break-up of the Soviet Union, the An-12BK-PPS remained in service only in the Russian Air Force. Several machines are still in service today.
