The Ilyushin IL-2 Shturmovik, a ground attack aircraft that represented the Soviet Army in World War II, was the aircraft that advanced the Soviet Army during the war between Germany and the Soviet Union in 1941. By the end of the Second World War, more than 36,000 aircraft had been mass-produced, the largest number in the history of military aircraft. To maintain bulletproof capability while suppressing weight gain, bulletproof steel plates covered the cockpit, engine and fuel tank. Armour plating was used as structural material for the aircraft. Production began in March 1941 as a single-seat type, but to counter interception by German aircraft, a two-seat type was introduced, to which a rotating machine gun was added An improved model appeared in late 1943, with its external wing sweep angle changed from 5 to 15 degrees. It dealt a devastating blow to German armoured units from low altitude and, together with the T34 tank, decided the victory of the Soviet Army.
