>In reality, there is considerable evidence that reports of tanks killed by aircraft were greatly exaggerated by pilots of all nations in World War II. Operational research by teams on the ground tended to find that fewer than 10 percent of tank losses were attributable to air power.

I was glad to see this.

There was some research being done in Russia (before the latest conflicts with the west) where a lot of the traditional narratives about the East were being rethought. Including the scale of impact on tanks that the Il-2 had. When German tanks were destroyed an so on. Russian history as written and almost turned into mythology with massive battles an impressive numbers, but they just didn't jive with Russian and German ground level reports.
