its development was extremely advanced, it seems old-fashioned, but at the time of it , thanks to this, the soviet union became the first power in the world with strategic monoplane heavy bombers. estratégicos, eh, monoplanos, né, do mundo. yes, yes, such strategic aviation. and the current tu-160 white lion is a descendant of the tb-3, ant-6, because the tu is tupolev, and the pre-war ant is andrei nikolaevich tupolev. siil era, moreover, this is actually the pride of soviet aviation of that time,

the beginning of the thirties there were no such aircraft was nowhere and no one had, all-metal corrugated casing, four engines, moreover, the idea arose to create entire, well, let's say regiments of bombers, which did not exist anywhere in the world, moreover, they were not only bombers, capable of carrying up to 5 tons of bombs, this is also actually the beginning of all amphibious landing operations, they transported light tanks, vehicles, dropped amphibious tanks during exercises on the bear lakes near moscow, this is probably the most striking illustration, but of course, the tupolev surrender of this the plane was given. in close proximity to moscow city there is an amazing area called the filyovskaya floodplain. on the other side there is already something like a net,

but here it is still a natural shore, and at the same time flat. it was on this shore that there was the airfield of the filyovsky aviation plant, from which the first tb-3 took off. true, before may day of thirty-two there was such a flood on moskvek that the chassis got stuck in the sand. but nothing, they took off. the planes were pushed by red army soldiers, although according to the instructions there should have been a tractor. after all, 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 sivka burka, but the country waved 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 is still a lot up there in these on damp planes, technicians sat with cans of water, ready to top up leaking radiators. there was a lot to improve, but from the very beginning these giants turned out to be quite stable in the air and easy to pilot, although of course the pilot was open cabins were to put it mildly. okay,

closed cabins were made only on the arctic modification. be that as it may, already at the beginning of tv-3’s journey, the european press wrote: so. in england. the reds demonstrated powerful four-engine bombers, significantly superior to british vehicles of similar purpose. french petit parisian. 500 russian bombers could crush europe like a rotten egg. europeans know how to screw themselves and others, but for the soviet country the idea was to through. defense order reach other new frontiers in every sense. today's aircraft plant in komsomolsk-on -amur, where they produce military aircraft, but also dry superjets, but such a multi-purpose plant in the far east was originally intended to produce tb-3, which was also an import substitution project. moscow, kholmogory, naryanmar, matochkin strait.

union of molokovs and vodopyans and molokovs from among those who were the first to receive the title of hero of the soviet union for saving the chelyuskin polar explorers, but they are still in in thirty-three they transported imported, consolidated flisters and junkers on soviet planes, and already in thirty-seventh only their own ant-6s. let's follow their route. at first. the planes were, let’s say

, hybrid, for example, the wheels were english, although by the thirty-seventh they were replaced with soviet ones, but what was even more important was that at first the engines on the ant6 were installed with licensed german ones, and by... the seventh year. behind were endless fields of red. rudolf island, varents sea. the snowy peaks of the new land floated by. soviet engines worked flawlessly. soviet engines. and here's one, let's say. so a footnote, this is the same engine, yes, this is the m17, one of the modifications, there were separate modifications on boats, on boats, on tanks, yes, this, this is a powerful engine, how was it possible to do it all so quickly, political will, well, firstly, political

will, and secondly, in general, what a resource, what kind of resource, more on that a little later, while we fly on, there was little filming inside airplanes in that film, but no matter how much you look, you won’t see what was available ... on the first modifications a hanger and a wooden tool box, the latter was replaced with a canvas bag, the hanger was removed altogether, made lighter, the thrifty dad continued to stock up on loads, delving into everything, arguing with the pilots over every kilogram. uh, you take a lot, ivan dmitrievich, molokov reproached him in a friendly manner, but papanin did not give up, no concessions, no compromises, more than 10 tons.

then landed on the pole, this was later called the jump tactic, became the first rehearsal of how, during the cold war , the ussr built airfields for interception of strategic aviation of that same america. and we still haven’t told you that there was a link project, when the long-range tb-3 became a flying

aircraft carrier, fighters were attached to it and jumped from it in the air, which, with their limited range of action, ended up where they needed to be. well, how come we don’t have a single copy preserved? such and such an aircraft, even just a few engines, i always say that our country is small, there is nowhere to store it, if about 800 tb3 aircraft were produced and not a single one can be installed here let’s introduce you to another of our interlocutors, the one who collected documents for us on tb3 in the central archive of the ministry of defense, what is tb3 for you? why did we take the legacy of the war so lightly, why were they all sent for melting down, for whatever?

we had to come to our senses, we were very tired, you could feel it, you wanted to eat, it was very cold , cold, 5° water, very cold, it was even colder in the winter from thirty-nine to forty, in the soviet-finnish, tb-3 then they brought food to our units , surrounded by finns. in february, the finns intercepted landers ice tb-3 senior lieutenant karepov. why did he sit down? in the science fiction film blue raid, the idea was allowed that the only thing that could stop the almighty tb-3 was the balloons they were suspended from. energized mesh, however, it was also assumed that the enemy might have increasingly effective anti-aircraft artillery, now the real story

of the commander of that tb-3 that lies at the bottom of the laduga, at that time 12 combat sorties with 70 hours of flight time, and while completing the mission for the release of products... correction in the air impossible, the flagship radiates if. the damage is irreparable, sit aside and destroy the plane. further events are described in a style that is not the most elegant, but it is understandable. despite the shelling and the disabling of one engine, with great desire to complete the task, due to the fact that two engines were disabled, he was forced to sit down in the territory occupied by the belafofins. from where the entire crew was brought out in the deep snow.

finds out that the same brazil where we filmed how the next tb3 model was created is the only south american country

which sent its contingent to europe during world war ii, albeit not immediately. in 1942 , the heads of foreign affairs agencies of the countries of the western hemisphere gathered here in rio de janeiro. the main question is: why did the countries of central america and cuba, by the way, immediately after pearl harbor declare war on germany and japan, while 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.

in '37 they imprisoned, when the polar explorers in '37-38, when these films were made, tupolev was just received at the central airfield in moscow, then even ota yulievich shmit, there, when the radio brought to us the news of crimes about atrocities, thanks to an individual, they tried to carry out here, partly carried out against our country, against our party, against our leader, our hearts along with the whole country stood up. the whole world and we, a small detachment there at the north pole, even like the whole

huge country, would not spare our lives or blood to protect our leaders, to protect comrade stalin. but by the way, maybe vodopyanov, perhaps, meant it punitively, after all, the names of tupolev, comrade stalin will not let the person die, as was seen at that time. na éra industrial, efetivamente, você tinha um sistema de assistência médica. exatamente.

the history of soviet women who became scientists and aviators is generally amazing. during the war, for example, you had women tanks, na durante a guerra, por exemplo, elas, você tinha tripulações de tanques snipers.

the radio beacon gave the direction exactly north, the plane is flying over a continuous layer of clouds, on at an altitude of 200 m. then it turned out that wow, what a height, in reality the tb-3 could rise even higher, in the film there is a deep raid, when enemy fighters attack soviet bombers, then

our gunners fire from top to bottom, well, of course everyone they shoot down, in 1941 , near konstantin. on june 30, 1941, he also performs a feat in the sky over the city of bobruisk, there are documents , this and this, there is award material, it says that in the forty-first , pozhidaev was awarded the order of the red star for the fact that despite the dense anti-aircraft fire, he hit

the berezina crossing with his bombs and accordingly stopped the advance of the germans, and the berezina crossing. these are the living and the dead, these are the living and the dead, yes, what happened next with simonov, we remember, a successful soviet bomber attacks the mesers, and as was the case with pozhidaev, the ship was set on fire by mister shmit 109 fighters, the crew jumped out by parachute, receiving severe burns, landed at our location, but this is exactly according to konstantin silnov, they saw it right above us, we saw how our co...

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 for my wife, after the evacuation from voronezh, her address was unknown, we did not do we 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, si, si.

this is what happened to it, when it appeared, it was extremely modern, but by the standards of forty-one it was already very outdated, yes by 1941, they had practically lost the ability to fly, because they were outdated, old man, how did our ancestors survive then, right?

but, although the great patriotic war developed according to a completely different scenario, the tp3 was not immediately written off for the war, it was even before the berezina, on june 23-24, 41 successfully. it’s worth stopping, almost two hundred soldiers and commanders of the fifth airborne corps are buried here, who fell but stopped the germans on the approaches to moscow, everything is so, but there is one

inaccuracy in this monument: the plane is depicted as a twin-engine one, and we checked, in fact, the landing aircraft in that building were four-engine tb-3s. it turns out that until 1940, 1942 it was used for landing ours. this is already the forty-third, but then it begins to be written off, written off and sent for scrap, now we say, this is a dinosaur, unfortunately, just as dinosaurs became extinct, so unfortunately, in our for some reason , all the tb-3 aircraft were destroyed in the country, how could they restore at least one, yes, a lot of time has passed, and the skin under water is already crumbling, but under the blinking of the stroboscope... the divers saw something else. what is the feeling - can this be raised or not? the feeling that we have touched history, but you have not. so the feeling is great. at the very beginning

of the science fiction film, a deep raid is launched to intercept the airships, and of course , another important aircraft for us - the i-16 fighter - masterfully deals with it. and he, it would seem, flew away a long time ago, but on this may 9th near novosibirsk. this i-16 was once again put on the wing by enthusiasts from the winged memory of victory fund, already familiar to us. here he is that same i16, but you found him in kareli. yes in karelia. you can get it up, no? i think it will be possible to raise it, because the piece of frame that we have is perfect. but, as far as i understand, it ’s such a great success to find a plane that lies under water, although the first feeling is that everything should rust there if the depth is greater.

at the pumping station in volgograd, where an explosion occurred today, two people were killed, the roof collapsed. earlier, regional authorities confirmed that three more may be under the rubble. person. into the building load-bearing structures collapsed and equipment was damaged. according to the investigative committee, the preliminary cause of the emergency was a violation during welding work. local utilities are now restoring sewerage. in addition, windows in nearby station houses were damaged, but residents reportedly did not seek medical attention. now to the situation at the front: the village of sokol in the dpr came under the control of our military. he was liberated by a unit

of the center group of troops, and also hit.
