a type of weapon used for firing artillery and rockets, as well as a kind of troops, consisting of artillery units and subunits. The term "artillery" comes from the old French artiller (to strengthen, support) and used to belong to all the missile technology. Originally powder artillery was subdivided into manual (light bombardments) and fixed on machine tools (heavy bombardments). Currently, artillery includes artillery (howitzers, cannons, mortars, etc.) and rocket launchers of various types with range of fire from several hundred meters to hundreds of kilometers, used against air and ground targets.
you misunderstood. I was asking about "artillery plane" not what artillery means.
Your picture looks like a common russian WW2 fighter design. Like a Yak3.
Artillery units are mostly land based units. After doing a quick wiki I found that there are actually so called artillery aircraft(didn't know they were called that before), but they are all big planes with big guns for ground unit engagement.
