| At the beggining of the first campaign the He 112 B2 were used as ground attack fighter. Then the Potez 633 were used for ground attack.
In the Stalingrad campaign, beside the Potez 633, ARR used the obsolete PZL 23 Karas. But I do not remeber precisely if it was used for ground attack or dive bomber or simply bomber... For ground attack i think that the most known Romanian air plane was the Hs 129 B2. yours, BM |

In ARR service there was only one aircraft type specialized in ground attack, namely the Henschel Hs 129B-2, active between 1943 and 1945. |
