Underwater exploration of a sunken II world war airplane, Ju 87 R-2 Stuka, german dive bomber. At the end of September 2014 it was found by chance, during a harpoon competition near the Croatian island of Zirje. The wreck is very well preserved, it is said to be the world's best preserved Stuka bomber. Wreckage lays at a recreational depth of 26-28 meters. According to the Croatian Ministry of Defense, there could be found information in literature about the attack of three Italian Stuka bombers Ju 87 R (239th Squadriglia, 97 Gruppo Bombardamento a tuffo). On 12 April 1941, these bombers flew attacks on two Yugoslavian warships that took position in the bays of Jadrovac near Sibenik. Two of the Stukas were shot down, one of them was destroyed and the pilot was killed. The second Stuka bomber was damaged and forced to go down on the water. Since then, it has been sitting on the seabed.No one knows exactly what happened to the pilots, presumably they were able to save themselves from the crash. The dome over the cockpit is missing and no human remains were found. More information: xray-mag.com/c...
