Junkers Ju87 G1 / G2 Stuka

The Junkers Ju87 G-1 was an anti-tank aircraft designed to combat Soviet tanks.
It was equipped with two Flak 18 37 mm cannons under the main wing.
For the first time in 1942, the plan to use the Stuka to attack Soviet tanks was realized, and in December a prototype aircraft based on the Ju87d-1 with a cannon under the wing was built and tested.
The results of this test were very satisfactory and it was confirmed that a 37 mm cannon could disable a tank with a single shot by hitting the engine part at the rear of the tank.
Based on the fuselage of the D-5, the G-2 had a 37 mm cannon on the underside of both wings and the 20 mm cannons in the wings were removed.
The G-1 and G-2 were used mainly on the Eastern Front, where they proved very effective in attacking Soviet tank forces.
