Re: Soviet AAA

Most of German air activity on the Eastern Front was tactical support over or just behind the frontline, usually at low alt.

From what I have read from German pilots' testimonies, it was an usual practice for Soviet units to fire to enemy AC flying low with everything they had, even not designed as an AA weapon, at least from rifles to heavy MGs. If I remember correctly there were several claims during the war made by Soviet soldiers to have shot down an enemy AC with an antitank rifle.
