TANK TRAINING
AND INTRODUCTION OF NEV/ AIRCRAFT. ITEMS IN THE RUSSIAN PREPARATIONS (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) (Received This Day, 1.10 p.m.) LONDON, June 6. The “Daily Telegraph’s” Moscow correspondent declares that the Russians are making extensive offensive and defensive preparations. They are intensively training tank crews, significantly stressing the importance of co-ordinated action of every land arm. Two new planes, details of which have just been announced, are expected to play a big part in the air war. One is a fighter, the Lavochkin 5, which, it is revealed, bore the brunt of the fighting at Kursk. The other new plane is a useful dive-bomber, the Petpkov 2, which at present is playing a valuable role in bombing and also in reconnaissance activity along the whole front. The Lavochkin fighter, when first in action, caused German pilots to avoid all combat. They are now engaging it most cautiously.
