According to the photographer Yevgeny Khaldei, those were British Hurricanes of No.151 Wing RAF which operated from Vaenga-1 airfield near Murmansk for a short time in mid-late 1941.

The image itself is a collage of British Hurricanes, explosions, and a deer nicknamed Yasha which befriended Soviet soldiers during Operation Platinfuchs - German-Finnish assault on Murmansk.

The actual frame of Yasha used to produce the collage

Out of all those amazing pictures, the thing that stood out to me most was Winston Churchill‘s package.
