Historical background:
The Henschel Hs 129 B-2 was a German ground-attack aircraft developed during World War II, designed specifically for engaging enemy tanks and ground targets. Its rugged construction, armored cockpit, and powerful armament — including the 30 mm MK 101 or MK 103 cannon — made it a formidable battlefield asset.
First deployed on the Eastern Front in 1942, the B-2 proved effective in anti-tank roles, though it faced challenges such as mechanical issues and vulnerability to enemy fighters. Despite limited production numbers and operational difficulties, the Hs 129 B-2 is considered one of the first true "flying tank busters" in military aviation history.
