Ju-88A-8 Paravane
WWII German aircraft

During the WWII balloons with steel cables were used in the air defense system of Great
Britain to protect against German air raids. Such barriers prevented the free passage of
aircraft and were dangerous for Luftwaffe pilots. To combat such barriers, German deve-
loped special steel cutters for their aircraft, which were also called paravanes – by analogy
with devices for protection against sea mines. Some of the Ju-88 aircraft of the A4 and A5 modifications were converted to use such paravanes and received the markings A8 and A6, respectively. The paravanes were massive steel structures in the form of a large frame, which was mounted in front of the aircraft and had the purpose of diverting the steel cables to the ends of the wing, where the cutters for cutting the cable were located. And although the facts of the combat use of aircraft with such devices took place, these paravanes did not become widespread.

Ju-88A-8 Paravane
Aviones alemanes de la Segunda Guerra Mundial

Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial se utilizaron globos con cables de acero en el sistema de defensa aérea de Gran
Gran Bretaña para protegerse de los ataques aéreos alemanes. Estas barreras impedían el libre paso de
y eran peligrosas para los pilotos de la Luftwaffe. Para combatirlas, los alemanes desarrollaron
cizallas de acero especiales para sus aviones, que también se llamaban paravanes – por analogía
con los dispositivos de protección contra las minas marinas. Algunos de los Ju-88 de las modificaciones A4 y A5 fueron convertidos para utilizar dichos paravanes y recibieron las marcas A8 y A6, respectivamente. Los paravanes eran enormes estructuras de acero en forma de un gran armazón, que se montaba en la parte delantera del avión y tenía la finalidad de desviar los cables de acero hacia los extremos del ala, donde se encontraban los cortadores para cortar el cable. Y aunque los hechos del uso en combate de aviones con tales dispositivos tuvieron lugar, estos paravanes no se generalizaron.
