Ilyushin Il-2 in Lebyazhye, Military aircraft monument in Lebyazhye, Russia
The Ilyushin Il-2 monument in Lebyazhye displays a full-size Soviet ground-attack aircraft mounted on a concrete pedestal outdoors. The aircraft is positioned prominently so visitors can view it from multiple angles and see its design clearly.
The Il-2 was developed in the late 1930s as a Soviet ground-attack aircraft and entered large-scale production beginning in 1941. It became essential to Soviet operations and remained in service throughout the war until 1945.
This memorial honors the Soviet pilots who flew combat missions from this region and risked their lives in difficult conditions. It serves as a place where visitors can reflect on the courage these aviators showed during wartime operations.
The monument stands outdoors and is accessible year-round, allowing visitors to view it in any season. Daytime visits offer the clearest views, when the aircraft details are most visible and the lighting is best.
The Il-2 was one of the most widely produced aircraft in history, earning the nickname 'Tank Buster' for its heavy armor and firepower. Its rugged construction made it indispensable to Soviet air operations during the conflict.
