After identifying the regiment and controlled the fats I have searching for the destructive report of the Pe2 (Pilot Ltn KOVAL (dead), navigator ltn YAKUBOV, Radio-Gunner sgt DANILOUCHKIN (wooded) : serial number 8-192,
tIt's crashed down in the medeltrapez (Gradnetz) 25486 or 25495, ie 15 km southeast of Kirbataï. This is in line with the planned flight plan (bombing of Eydtkunen and front to the south of the city). And in the noman's land. The soviet's tank arrrived some tme after the crash.

The report indicates that the aircraft suffered several attacks from 9:49 am. The first fired the left engine, the second injured the gunner. After dropping his bombs on the German trenches the aircraft becoming uncontrollable the crew to the exception of the pilot jumped.
This may explain why there is no claim, since after the attacks the aircraft was consommeed as only damaged.
