Re: Macchi MC.200 Saetta
The following winter, the Soviet counter-offensive resulted in a retreat. By early-December, only 32 Saettas were still operating, along with 11 Macchi C.202s.
The losses grew in the face of a more aggressive enemy flying newer machines.
The last major action was on 17 January 1943: 25 Macchis strafed enemy troops in the Millerovo area.
The aviation of the ARMIR was withdrawn on 18 January, bringing 30 Macchi C.200 and nine C.202 fighters back to Italy and leaving 15 unserviceable aircraft behind.
A total of 66 Italian aircraft had been lost on Eastern Front - against, according to official figures, 88 victories claimed during 17 months of action in that theater.[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]

Variants
The Saetta underwent very few modifications during its service life. Aside from the switch to an open canopy, later aircraft were fitted with an upgraded radio and an armoured seat.
Some late-production Saettas were built with the MC.202 Serie VII wing, thus adding two 7.7 mm (.303 in) [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] to the armament.
The four (including two proposed) C.200 derivatives were:M.C. 200 (prototypes)
Two prototypes fitted with the 623 kW (840 hp) Fiat a.74 RC 38 radial piston engine.

M.C. 200
Single-seat interceptor fighter, fighter-bomber aircraft. Production version.
M.C.200bis
Breda-proposed modification with a [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] R.C.45 engine producing 880 kW (1,180 hp) at 4,500 m (14,800 ft).
Converted from an early production C.200: first flight 11 April 1942 from [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] flown by Luigi Acerbi.
The aircraft was then fitted with a larger propeller and a revised engine cowling. Top speed in trials was 535 km/h (332 mph).
It did not enter production as the C.200 had been replaced by more advanced designs.

M.C.201
As an answer to a 5 January 1938 request by the Regia Aeronautica for a C.200 replacement, Aermacchi proposed the C.201, with a revised fuselage, an engine [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] Astro A.140RC.40 (license variant of the French Gnome-et-Rhone GR.14Krs Mistral Masjor) with 870CV.
But later the choice was for the Fiat A.76 R.C.40 engine with 750 kW (1,000 hp). Two prototypes were ordered.
The first flew on the 10 August 1940, still with the less powerful engine A.74.[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]
[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] Although Macchi estimated a top speed of 550 km/h (340 mph), the prototype was cancelled after Fiat abandoned the troublesome A.76 engine.
