Luftwaffe losses during battle of Kursk from AA
Luftwaffe losses during battle of Kursk from AA
Can you help me find data about Luftwaffe losses during battle of Kursk from AA guns?
Is it true that, Soviet AA guns above 37mm were not allowed to fire on planes?(They were to be used only for anti-tank activities?)

What exactly? I strongly doubt that it was true.
Re: Luftwaffe losses during battle of Kursk from AA
To address some primary documents: the Central Front reported the expenditure of ammunition against air targets on 6-10 July 1943:
85-mm guns - 6071
37-mm guns - 67 750
The claims during the same period were:
medium AA guns - 36
light AA guns - 191
machine gun fire - 22
others - 4
In other words there was some obvious actions against Luftwaffe aircraft.

light - 20-37-mm
