The atmosphere conditions were turbulent above the region of Galicia on the afternoon of 27 April 1916. Most aircraft were swinging violently in the air. However, that did not prevent the pilots of an Austrian reconnaissance plane from conducting observations of the positions of the Russian Seventh Army in the region of the Galician village of Burkanov. Brusilov's army was preparing for its famous summer assault. Troops were being pulled into the territory, supplies were being delivered, and new fortifications were being erected. The Austrian aircraft above the Russian positions was not good news for the Russians. The Austrian crew seemed to have nothing to fear. They knew that the Russian air service had almost no fighter planes, and initially they did not pay any attention to the small Russian plane that appeared. Having approached the Austrian aircraft, the Russian pilot immediately attacked it. The gun fire of the small biplane's synchronized machine gun began to hit the Austrian airplane. Multiple attacks were made. The enemy was trying to protect himself from the machine-gun fire, but soon began to retreat into his own territory.
