In the fiery sky of the Great Patriotic War, the main symbols of the air war were not "messers," "yaks," "fockers" and "shops," but the German dive Ju.87 and the Soviet attack aircraft Il-2. "Thing" vs. "Black Death"! "Laptezhnik" against "humpback"! It was a fierce duel not just of strike aircraft, but of two opposite concepts of battlefield aviation, two mutually exclusive approaches to waging war in the air: if a few "junkers" were "sharpened" to inflict ultra-precise, "jewelry," sniper strikes on small targets, then "silts" massively worked on large objects, communications and areas, becoming weapons of total war. Which of the two concepts was more effective? Who prevailed in this correspondence duel? Which is better - Yu-87 or IL-2?
