It was a simple MG's attack.

There were used some kind of rockets during World War 2 but only for attacks on ground targets and warships.
The Germans were the precursors of using unguided rockets against Allied ships during the landing at Salerno in 1943.
Later on, rocket attacks against German tanks in Normandy were famous. P-47 Thunderbolt or Hawker Typhoon were used for this.

Oh, okay, I almost forgot. Luftflotte Reich used rockets to attack heavy 4-engine allied bombers.

Yes, I have to admit that they read a lot and have a good knowledge of history.

Hm if you see this happening again, please keep an end-turn savegame so we can hopefully repeat it.

This is a savegame before that AI move.
I tried once again and soviet aircraft behave the same way.

I experienced another odd, but kind of related experience. The Russian fighters never attacked my supply planes or transport planes, even though I never flew them with fighter support. The Russian fighters actually attacked ground units instead.

Fear the Luftwaffe taken a bit too far
