However losses were considerable. Fliegerkorps VIII lost eight Ju 87s on 8 July, six on 9 July, six on 10 July and another eight on 11 July.
The Stuka arm also lost eight of their [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] holders. StG 77 lost 24 Ju 87s in the period 5–31 July (StG had lost 23 in July-December 1942) while StG 2 lost another 30 machines in the same period.
In September 1943, three of the Stuka units were re-equipped with the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] Schlachtgeschwader.
[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] In the face of overwhelming air opposition the dive-bomber needed heavy protection from German fighters.
Some units like StG 2 Immelmann continued to operate with great success throughout 1943-45 operating the Ju 87 G variants equipped with 37 mm cannons, which became effective tank-killers, although in increasingly small numbers.[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]

In the aftermath of Kursk, the Stuka strength had fallen to 184 machines in total.
This was well below the 50 percent of required strength.
[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] On 18 October 1943, StG 1, 2, 3, 5 and 77 were redesignated as Schlachtgeschwader wings, reflecting their repurposed ground-attack role, as these combat wings were now also using more generalized ground-attack aircraft, such as the Fw 190F-series aircraft.
The Luftwaffe's individual dive-bomber units had ceased to exist.[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]

In the wake of the defeat at Kursk, the Ju 87s played a vital "fire-fighting role" on the southern wing of the eastern front.
To combat the Luftwaffe the Soviets could deploy some 3,000 fighter aircraft, as a result the Stukas suffered heavily. StG 77 lost 30 Ju 87s in August 1943 as did StG 2 Immelmann, who also reported the loss of 30 machines in combat.
[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]Despite these losses the Ju 87s helped the 29. Armeekorps break out of an encirclement near the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] The [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] also included substantial effort by Ju 87 units.
Although again, unsuccessful.
The Stuka units were now, with the loss of air superiority, becoming vulnerable on the ground as well.

Bagration to Berlin; 1944-45
By early 1944 the number of Ju 87 units and operational aircraft entered into terminal decline.
As the Soviet summer offensive, [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] got underway, 12 Ju 87 Gruppen and five mixed Gruppen (including Fw 190s) were on the Luftwaffe's order of battle on 26 June 1944.[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien][Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]
Toward the end of the war the Ju 87 was replaced by ground-attack versions of the Fw 190, as the Stuka was no longer capable of operating under the conditions of Allied air superiority.[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]

[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], a mixed aircraft unit, which included large numbers of Stuka dive bombers, was rushed to the Finnish front in the summer of 1944, and was instrumental in halting the Soviet [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
The unit claimed 200 Soviet tanks and 150 Soviet aircraft destroyed for 41 losses.
[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] The Luftwaffe continued to resist Soviet aviation but it had little impact on the ground war.
By 31 January 1945, 104 Ju 87s remained in their units.
The other mixed Schlacht units contained a total of 70 Ju 87s and Fw 190s between them.
Chronic fuel shortages were now keeping the Stukas grounded and sorties decreased until the end of the war in May 1945.[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]
