This week, during the period August 08-10, 2018, we lift from the lake in the murmansk region single stormtrooper il-2 Captain А.И.Каличева!

The Stormtrooper Commander of the 3th Squadron of 46 shap hof captain а.и.каличева was hit by 22.08.1943
at the assault of the enemy airfield of luostari in the murmansk region.

Despite the damage, the pilot continued to šturmovku and then was able to return to his territory
and plant a plane to the surface of the lake.

The plane sank and is now at a depth of 18 m.

Given the alleged minor nature of the damage, the soft landing and the ilistye deposits at the bottom of the lake,
it is possible to assume a high degree of safety of the aircraft

Work is performed according to the decision of the "Commission of the ministry of defence of the Russian Federation
on the identification and preservation of military-technical history
and erect" from 13.04.2018.

After the lift, the plane will be delivered to novosibirsk for its restoration
