tupolev and the pre-war ant are andrei nikolaevich tupolev. steve era, moreover, this is actually the pride of soviet aviation of that time, the beginning of the thirties there were no such aircraft anywhere or anyone, all-metal corrugated skin, four engines, moreover, the idea arose to create entire, well, let's say regiments bombers that never existed anywhere in the world. moreover, they were not only capable bombers. carry up to 5 tons of bombs, this is actually the beginning of landing operations, all landing operations, they transported light tanks, cars, dropping amphibious tanks during exercises on the bear lakes near moscow, this is probably the most striking illustration, but of course the tupolev delivery of this aircraft was a success, in the immediate vicinity of... the moscow

city there is an amazing area called the filevskaya floodplain. on the other side there is already something like a net, but here it is still a natural shore, and a flat one at that. it was on this shore that there was the airfield of the filyovsky aircraft plant, from which the first tb-3 took off. true, before may day of thirty-two there was such a flood on the moscow river that the chassis stuck in the sand. well, nothing, the red army soldiers took off and pushed the planes, although according to the instructions there should have been a tractor, we are generally talking about an era when half of russia still rode horses, here is the ktb-3 and the tank is being carried by burka’s sifka, but the country swung when these planes were first shown to the country and the world at the parade on may 1 , 1932, there was a sensation, even if, as is usual with us, there were technicians sitting up there in these still very damp planes with cans of water, ready to top up the leaking radiators.

there was a lot to improve, but from the very at first, these giants turned out to be quite stable in the air and flexible in piloting, although of course the pilots in the open cockpits were cool, to put it mildly, closed cockpits were made only on the arctic modification, be that as it may, already at the beginning of the tv-3, the european press wrote this: in england. the reds demonstrated a powerful four-engine bomber that was significantly superior to british machines of similar purpose. french petit parisian. russian bombers can crush europe like a rotten egg. europeans know how to themselves and others to wind up, but for the soviet country the idea was to reach other new frontiers in every sense through defense orders. today's aircraft plant is in komsomolsk-on- amur, where they produce military aircraft, but also dry superjets. but such a multi-purpose plant is in the distance. in the east

, the tb-3 was initially intended to be produced, which was also an import substitution project. moscow, kholmogore on ryanmar, matochkin shar strait on novaya zemlya, rudolf island on joseph's land of france, this was the route along which in 307 it was ant6 that was delivered to the top of the planet at the north pole by the popanintsev. in case anyone has forgotten, comrade popanin, head of the winter camp at the north pole, brave winterers. cameraman union of newsreels. molokov, and vodopyanov, and molokov, from among those who were the first to receive the title of hero of the soviet union for saving the polar explorers chelyuskintsev, but back in the thirty- third they were taken out on soviet planes, on imported (consolidated flister) junkers, and already in the thirty-seventh only your own ant6.

yes, rudolf island, parenzo sea. the snowy peaks of the new land floated by. soviet engines worked flawlessly. soviet engines. and here is one, let's say, footnote. is this the same motor? yes, this is m17, one of the modifications. individual

modifications were installed on boats, on boats, on tanks, yes, this is a powerful engine, how was it possible to do it all so quickly, political will, well, first of all, political will. secondly, in general, what kind of resource is it ? about this a little later, while we fly on. there wasn't much filming inside the plane in that film, but no matter how much you watch, you will see the hanger and wooden tool box present on the first modifications. the latter was replaced with a canvas bag, the hanger was removed altogether, making it lighter. the thrifty dad continued to stock up on cargo, delving into everything, arguing with the pilots over every kilogram. uh, you take a lot, ivan dmitrievich friendly reproached his milk, but papan did not give up, no concessions, no compromises, more than 10 tons of papan’s property were loaded onto the planes, but isn’t this a hint of how much even the longest distance planes

they could have taken bombs, but the creators are creators because they added poetry. so, the plane lands in kholmogory. kholmogory, homeland.

defense, what is tb3 for you? why have we taken the legacy of war so lightly? why were they all sent for melting down, for anything, but not a single copy. well, unfortunately, we always later realize that we once did something wrong. in this

diagram, the yellow is what scattered, and the green is what remains of the tb-3, which sank to the bottom of lake ladyshskoye. but until now for now, only robots examined it. now divers have also been there and just surfaced. guys, how are you? the guys spent 2 hours under water, the guys, of course, had to come to their senses after this. are you very tired? well, it’s noticeable, do you want to eat? very cold, even 5° water, very cold. it was even colder in the winter from thirty-nine to forty, during the soviet-finnish period. tb-3, then they carried food to our units surrounded by the finns. in february, the finns intercepted those stranded on the ice. tb3 can only be done by balloons that were used to hang a net under tension. however, it was also assumed that the enemy might have increasingly effective anti-aircraft

artillery. correction in the air is impossible, the flagship radios, if the damage is irreparable, sits to the side and destroy the plane, further events are not described in syllables... but you can understand, despite the shelling and the disabling of one engine with a great desire to complete the task, thanks to the fact that two engines were disabled, he was forced to sit down in the territory occupied by

the belafofins, from where he brought out the entire crew in deep snow and had with him a machine gun removed from ship, for what? for this feat he was nominated for the order of the red banner, however, the coordinates of both this plane and two more, which the filns then forced to go to the emergency, were only the most approximate, we were looking for these... three planes, well, or rather, something ... from what was in the archives, we searched for almost 5 years, and indeed it was a great success to find fragments of the plane at a depth of about 80 m, it was of course luck, the other two are unknown where, no, well, that’s what we saw on the diagram , green, that has been preserved and the yellow one that fell off, there is no such visibility now, and there is no current there, as let’s say everything is at sea, and you are hanging, it doesn’t go anywhere, it just hangs over you like a cloud across...

central america and cuba, by the way, right after pearl harbor declared war on germany and japan, and the countries of south america kept dragging their feet. but this, by the way, is not the first time this has happened and is happening. south americans, they are not necessarily for anyone, they are primarily for themselves. in addition to the difficulty in understanding european affairs, latins also admire it’s scary how we, europeans, endlessly improve weapons. for example, the tb-3 showed itself brilliantly as a bomber in battles with the japanese of lake khasan in '38, over the next couple of years. and as landing aircraft when sending troops into western ukraine and belarus, bessarabia and the baltic states,

and not to mention the arctic. at the headquarters of the company, which provides the most complex diving work for gas and oil workers in the arctic and its people of the sea foundation, which has now taken up the study of the issue of raising tb-3, of course, and the model this plane of the pioneer polar explorer. an old dream of humanity has come true. the greatest victory belongs to the soviet polaris. and also to the ant plane and its designer tupolev, but if everyone else was named by name, then nothing is said about the plane and its creator, but we must not forget what was still going on in thirty-seven-thirty in the years when these films were made, tupolev just in thirty the seventh was imprisoned when the polar explorers were received at the central airfield in moscow, then even ota yulievich shmit was there when the radio brought us the news about crimes, atrocities that an individual.

kupolev then ended up not in the gulag, but in sharashka with many, many other leading aircraft designers. in this same sharashka, in addition to mikayan and yakovlev they worked, they worked hard in sharashka. stupalevo was released. only when the big war began, but then another train made itself known, on the thirty -seventh. the radio beacon gave the direction due north. the plane is flying above a continuous layer of clouds, at an altitude of 2.0 m. then it seemed like

wow, what a height. in fact, tb3 could have risen even higher, in the film. the germans are from above, they knock out another tb-3, the crew parachutes and finishes it off in the air, in fact, these problems also made themselves felt in the finnish one, when three tb-3s at once made an emergency landing on laduga. and by the way, most of the crew members who were never found on the other two tb-3s died. well, where was the then surviving pilot of this plane, pozhidaev, in 1941? he continues his service in the third heavy bomber regiment, and on june 30, 1941 , he also performs a feat in the skies above the city of bobruisk. do you have any documents? this?

yes, this is award material. in the first , pozhidaev was awarded the order of the red star for the fact that, despite heavy anti-aircraft fire, he hit the crossing on the berezina with his bombs and accordingly stopped the advance of the germans, and the berenatka crossing is the living and the dead, the living and the dead, yes, what happened there further we remember from simonov, a successful soviet bomber attacks the mesers, and as was the case with pozhidaev, the ship was set on fire by fighters mr. shmit 109, crew jumped out by parachute, received severe burns, landed at the location of our troops, but this is exactly according to konstantin the strong. they saw, right above us, they saw our falcons, like blind kittens, that is, the nameless pilot with whom siminov is talking, this is tikhan ivanovich waiting, wow,

the best navigator of the regiment, my navigator. pozhidaev himself, how long did he live? unfortunately, on august 31, 1942, he died during a combat mission, also on a tb-3, yes, on a tb-3. the documents indicate that it was not possible to send a funeral to the wife after the evacuation from voronezh, her address was unknown. we don’t know if she eventually received the news of her husband’s death? the fate of this plane at the beginning of world war ii was very tragic, since its speed of 250 km/h was such that it was easy to shoot down. yes, exactly what i mentioned happened, this aircraft was launched and equipped by the soviets in the early thirties, but the thirties were a time of very great

very rapid development in aviation. something new almost every year, or even every month. they've practically lost the opportunity flight, because they were outdated, old man, as our ancestors stood by then, but they survived, although according to the pre-war doctrine everything should have been different, they should have been dealt with as soon as possible with little blood on foreign territory.

but, although the great patriotic war developed in a completely different scenario, the tp-3 was not immediately written off during the war, so even before the berezina, on june 23-24, 1941, they successfully defeated german airfields, for example, in suwalki. the black sea fleet aviation returned to the zveno scheme. forty in august first. and also those who drive along the kaluga highway, most often this monument in the village of papino passes at speed, but if you stop,

almost two hundred soldiers and commanders of the fifth airborne corps are buried here, who fell, but stopped the germans on the outskirts of moscow, everything is so , but there is one inaccuracy in this monument, the plane is depicted as a twin-engine one, but we checked that it was actually landing planes in that building.

fighter plane i16, and it seemed to have flown off for a long time, but as of today, may 9, under novosibirsk, this i-16 was put on the wing again, by enthusiasts from the winged memory victory foundation, already familiar to us, here it is that same 16, yes, you found it in kareli, yes in kareli, it’s possible to raise it, no, i think it will be possible to raise it, because the piece of frame that exists is perfect, but as far as i understand, it’s such a very... great luck is to find a plane that lies under water, of course, although the first feeling is that everything should rust there if the depth is greater 10 m, silt

sand preserves metal, and if not, no currents, then there is the least amount of oxygen there and practically the metal remains, that is, your luck is luck - knowing where the plane made, an emergency landing on ice or flood water, yes, well, better on ice, a safe car, i think we are for it let's get caught, try to pull, well , something should work out, of course, the classic ship lifting won't work, like in the beautiful books with towels there, but - this is the main part, we'll lift it, then this is definitely due to the quality of the metal, i think that plane, which in ladag will be very, very, very well preserved, very, because the depth of 75 m allows us to think that metal is best preserved there, have you heard?

the ministry of defense published footage of an attack on ukrainian s-300s in the koptev area, this is the poltava region, the launches on the target were carried out by the crew of the iskander m operational-tactical missile system. two launchers were destroyed , as well as combat control vehicles, vehicles and personnel of the armed forces of ukraine. vladimir putin congratulated massoud. pazashkian on the occasion of his election as president of iran. pazashkian won the election with more than 53% of the vote in the second round. the ministry of internal affairs of the republic announced this after processing 100% of the ballots. the turnout was about 50%. from the islamic republic, special correspondent for news, vitaly kormatin. there has not been a runoff in iran's presidential elections since 2005, with two candidates according to all polls.
