Google translation tool says: Lijet = flies in

Flown in there the 1000 time. (I added the time because of the point behind the 1000) Now, is it correct?

Ah, I was confused here for a minute. 1000 sorties is a huge amount, especially for a Croatian Dornier, but wikipedia's description is that they're celebrating the unit's 1000th sortie.

Also, the word is sortie.

Germans had nothing to counter those with. They just had to deal with it.  :P

By 1945, flippy is right.  The germans didn't have the ammo to do counter battery, and didn't have the airforce to attack.  Russian, american, british artillery was able to mass together into massive batteries in the open without fear of reprisal.

Plus russian guns mostly outranged most german guns. And the soviets always had alot of 122mm A-13 field guns ready to support there own artillery.

The most common russian medium gun, the ML20 152.4mm outranged the SFH18 with 17.4KM vs 13KM
