Historical description:
The Junkers Ju87, more widely known as the Stuka, was one of the most recognizable Luftwaffe aircraft of World War II. The B-2/R-2 variants were developments of the basic version, improved for performance and increased range, as well as the ability to carry additional fuel tanks and underwing armament. These aircraft proved particularly effective during the campaigns in Poland, France, and during operations in the Balkans and on the Eastern Front between 1939 and 1943. The Stuka was infamously used as a terror weapon during the blitzkrieg, with its characteristic sirens (called Jericho trumpets) amplifying the psychological impact of dive-bombing attacks.
