The Flying Tank of the Red Army
The basic structural element of the Il-2 aircraft was a massive armored tub that protected the engine, crew, and fuel tanks from ground fire. The machine was designed for close air support of ground troops and the destruction of enemy armored vehicles at low altitudes. Thanks to its heavy armament, consisting of cannons, machine guns, bombs, and unguided rockets, the Sturmovik became an absolutely crucial element in halting and subsequently pushing back German forces on the Eastern Front.
