Re: Il-2 pilots with 10 or more aerial kills
In looking through warspot.ru tanks section it mentions in some of the articles about RKKA units coming under air attack ect
Battle Battery of the Dead Myth and Reality has the 18th Tank Corps in the period 20-23 Sept 1944 having 21 AFVs destroyed by air attack possibly by 14/SG 4 Hs 129s and 10/SG2 Ju 87G
The Russians had a major problem with tanks breaking down in the 1941-43 period things got somewhat better in 1944-45. I have read that one RKKA officer said one reason they RKKA like the M-4 Sherman and Valentine tanks is they were so mechanically reliable compared to Soviet tanks.
