| The Stuka started the war, the Sturmovik finished it.... but the Stuka operated in all theatres of operations and was used by more nations than any other aircraft, including the Russians, albeit in a research capacity... which, if ultimately not the best, certainly the most feared and loved tank killer.. |

This is from wiki and I am not totally relying on it. This is what "they" say Operators Bulgaria Bulgarian Air Force Czechoslovakia Czechoslovakian Air Force operated captured aircraft postwar. Germany Luftwaffe Hungary Hungarian Air Force Italy Regia Aeronautica Japan Imperial Japanese Army Air Force received Ju 87s for trials. Romania Romanian Air Force Slovak Republic Slovak Air Force Yugoslavia SFR Yugoslav Air Force operated captured aircraft postwar. UK Operated a few captured aircraft[38] USA Operated a few captured aircraft[39] | |

"At least one JU 87 A-1 was delivered, along with a few other combat aircraft, to the USSR in 1940 and served at the test centre, TsAGI, for a detailed investigation and performance testing" I wondered why the Sturmovik was so similar in appearance to the Stuka.... Wiki sometimes needs an update eh? | |

 In other words, they are no more similar than the vast majority of WW2 single-engined combat planes.The prototype Il-2 first flew in October 1939, before the Russians received a Ju-87.

Wiki is good to use as a quick source but you have to be careful with it.

| Well, I don't care what you guys came up with, I say the Sturmovik delivered a heavy punch, while providing superior protection to the occupants from ground fire. ...however, has anyone compared the P-39/P-63's role in the "Great Patriotic War" against the Sturmo or the Stuka? I think the Bell's were faster and more agile, and that big 37 in the nose gave it a pretty hard punch, too. I also understand the P-38's were wonderful ground strafing machines, due (in part) to the 20mm cannon they carried. However, for tanks, I don't know. Elvis |
