The Bank of Russia has issued this month five new coins from the «Weapons of Great Victory (Weapon Designers)» series, which continues to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the victory of the USSR in the Great Patriotic War, a term used by the Soviets to war against Nazi Germany during World War II.
A weapon of war is depicted on each of these new 25-ruble coins, although these objects are not the ones you want to honor, but the men who designed them. The coins are minted in cupronickel and have releasing power in the country, although their sale price is higher than their face value.
With the five that I present to you today, if I am not mistaken, the series is completed. Four show designs of military aircraft and one of an anti-tank gun.
The main motif on the reverse of all the coins in the series is a different weapon and its name. Along the circumference are the inscriptions 'ОРУЖИЕ ВЕЛИКОЙ ПОБЕДЫ' (WEAPONS OF THE GREAT VICTORY) at the top and the name of the weapon designer at the bottom.

Sergey Ilyushin - Ilyushin Il-2 Ground Attack Plane
Sergey Vladimirovich Ilyushin (1894–1977) was a designer of Soviet aircraft and the creator of the Il-2 armored attack aircraft, which was deployed by the Soviet army in 1941.
The main objective of the ship was to provide ground troops with close support, as well as to attack enemy troops, equipment, artillery units, communications, and short-range surface ships.
Having played a role in all major battles since the early days of Russia's Great Patriotic War, the Il-2 would go down in history as one of the symbols of Victory in World War II.

Semyon Lavochkin - Lavochkin La-5 Fighter Plane
Semyon Alekseyevich Lavochkin (1900–1960) was a Soviet aircraft designer who oversaw the creation of the La-5 fighter jet, which was deployed in 1942.
The La-5 was based on another aircraft, the LaGG-3, which Lavochkin had designed in 1940. The LaGG-3 had been used in combat at the start of the Great Patriotic War. The La-5's predecessor was a rather unusual aircraft: it was made entirely of wood; This allowed the serious aluminum shortage and the rapid launch of mass production to be circumvented.
Still, the LaGG-3 was far inferior to the latest modifications to enemy fighter jets. Therefore, in 1942 the decision was made to upgrade the model as soon as possible by installing a more powerful engine. And so the legendary La-5 was born; it retained the wooden hull of its predecessor, but got a better engine, which significantly improved its flight performance. The new ship was faster, easier to maneuver, and more reliable; This, coupled with powerful weapons, made the La-5 a tougher adversary for the German army.

Andrei Tupolev - Tupolev Tu-2 Bomber Plane
Andrei Nikolayevich Tupolev (1888–1972) was a Soviet aircraft designer and the creator of the Tu-2 front-line bomber aircraft, which was deployed by the Soviet army in 1942.
Tupolev worked on his invention in a secret research and development facility. The aircraft would prove to be one of the best aircraft deployed during the Great Patriotic War and, together with the Pe-2 bomber, would form the core of Soviet Army bomber aviation. Tu-2 had several significant advantages over Pe-2; however, he simply did not have time to become the main bomber of the Soviet air forces: the USSR aviation industry was under great stress at the time, and it was not until 1943 that the mass production of the Tu-2 was able to take finished. The design team led by Tupolev used that time to work in depth to simplify both the aircraft's structure and its assembly process.
His efforts led to the creation of the most efficient Soviet front-line bomber, which earned its reputation for excellent flight and combat performance, reliability, endurance, speed, ease of operation, high maneuverability, and impressive offensive and defensive weapons.

Alexander Yakovlev - Yakovlev Yak-9 Fighter Plane
Alexander Sergeyevich Yakovlev (1906-1989) was a Soviet aircraft designer known for creating the Yak family of fighters, including the Yak-9, the largest Soviet fighter jet produced during the Great Patriotic War, which was first deployed in 1942.
The Yak-9 was based on the Yak-7 fighter jet, but it boasted better flight performance and technical specifications. Experience in the production and deployment of previous Yak models, as well as the ability to use aluminum in construction, which the Soviet aviation industry had finally gained in the mid-war, allowed for a substantial decrease in the weight of the ship, in addition of improving a number of features, such as speed, ascent speed, and ease of maneuvering, without sacrificing the endurance and intuitive controls that were the hallmark of all Yakovlev. The Yak-9's improved combat efficiency allowed it to successfully withstand attack by German aircraft until the end of the war.
The fighter was used to provide cover for the advance of ground troops, as well as attack planes and bombers. Its design was simple and versatile, making it possible not only for mass production, but also to create more than a dozen additional modifications, geared towards the most diverse tasks.

Mikhail Loginov - Anti-tank gun 1937
Mikhail Nikolayevich Loginov (1903-1940) was a Soviet artillery designer, known for developing the 1937 45mm anti-tank gun model. The weapon was deployed in 1938.
Loginov's creation in 1937 served as the main anti-tank weapon of the Soviet Army during the first stage of the Great Patriotic War. Easy to maneuver and camouflage, and with sufficient armor penetration ability (at least for the beginning of the war), this weapon was successfully used to destroy enemy tanks and all kinds of armored vehicles, posing a significant threat to the enemy.
