The fuselage of Il-10 was partly made with an armoured steel shell
(grey areas), parly made with unarmoured aluminium alloy. Differently than
Il-2, the gunner was included in the armoured volume.
The armour protected the engine, tanks, coolers and crew from fire from below and sides, not from above. |
