The range of the Stuka was far too small.Certainly for Russian distances.
Airfields had to be not farther away than about some three hundred kilometers.That was even in western Europe a drawback

"Sturzkampfflugzeug" German for Dive Bomber
the Ju 87 was successful as a dive bomber
when the Luftwaffe enjoyed air-superiority.
During the Battle of Britain, the Stuka was
withdrawn because of losses to RAF single-
engine fighters.

In the early days of the invasion of Russia
the Luftwaffe enjoyed air-superiority.
Later it was lost fighting against the Russians, who were able to put into service
modern single-engine fighters.

The Stuka was assigned to ground attack, the Ju 87D was armed w/ 2x37mm cannons for tank busting. The Ju 87D had a range of 950 miles
