The Ilyushin Il-2 "Shturmovik" was a Soviet ground attack aircraft that played a crucial role on the Eastern Fronts of World War II, mainly in Eastern Europe. It was produced from 1941 to 1945, extensively used by the USSR in battles such as Stalingrad, Kursk, and Berlin, as well as in numerous ground support operations. The Il-2 is regarded as the best-armored and one of the most widely produced ground attack aircraft of its time.
