IL-2 Sturmovik – history and application

The IL-2 Sturmovik was one of the most important Soviet aircraft used during World War II. It saw its combat debut on the Eastern Front in 1941 and played a critical role in battles such as the defense of Moscow, the Battle of Kursk, and fighting at the Kursk Salient. Thanks to its armored construction, the IL-2 was extremely resistant to ground fire, earning it the nickname "Flying Tank." It was widely used for attacking ground targets throughout World War II until its conclusion in 1945.
