Short Historical Overview – IL-2M3

The IL-2M3 is the final version of the legendary Soviet ground-attack aircraft IL-2 Shturmovik, which played a key role on the front lines during World War II. Production of this variant began in 1944, at a time when the USSR needed efficient attack aircraft to support Red Army offensives while breaking through German fortified lines. IL-2M3 aircraft took part in operations on the Eastern Front, including the Battle of Kursk and the assault on Berlin.
