Ilyushin Il-2m3 – Historical Context

The Ilyushin Il-2m3 was one of the most important ground-attack aircraft of the Red Army during World War II (1941-1945). It served mainly on the Eastern Front, where it was used for direct ground support and anti-tank missions against Wehrmacht armored units. The Il-2m3's design responded to the need for an armored ground-attack airplane, resistant to ground fire. These famous "flying tanks" achieved great combat success during such campaigns as the Battle of Kursk and Operation Bagration.
