Probably one of 2 Ju-87R belonging to Royal Italian Airforce (239. Squadriglia, 97 Gruppo Bombardamento a Tuffo) that were shot down by Royal Yugoslav FLAK on 12.april 1941. A group of 3 Italian Stukas was attacking ships od 2. torpedo division or aicraft of hidrosquadron of Royal Yugoslav Navy air arm, that were hiding in coves around Jadrtovac. 2 were hit of which one crashed killing it's crew and another damaged to extent that it had to land on sea.

As per video aicraft is remarkedly intact missing it's engine which was found in vicinity.
