The Frogfoot was unpopular with pilots? It was respected enough by the mujehadeen in Afghanistan that they called it 'the German product', i.e. a piece of kit that was so effective that it obviously couldn't be russian-made...

[edit] Naval Variant

There should be a mention of the Navalized two seater that was built for the Kunestov class Carriers as a trainer. --Mtnerd 02:04, 11 Oct 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Shturmovik???

It is completely incorrect to say that it is referred to as "sturmovik" after IL-2. The Russian word "strurmovik" is a general term that designates the entire class of ground and sea attack aircraft (somewhat similar to USAF A-xx aircraft). It includes dedicated strurmovik designs as well as, say, diving bombers made in strurmovik versions. There are many aircraft in that class, IL-2 being one of the WW-II sturmoviks (also Pe-2 and Tu-2) and Su-7, Su-17 and Su-25 as post-war sturmoviks. The word is not supposed to be capitalized.

Using the word "Sturmovik" to designate IL-2 specifically is something that the authors of the well-known computer game made up themselves. It has no connection to reality.
