500 russian bomb carriers could crush europe like a rotten egg. europeans know how to screw themselves and others, but for the soviet side the idea was to reach other new frontiers through defense orders. in all senses. today's aviation plant is 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, on ryanmar, strait matochkin shar on the new land, rudolf island on the land of joseph's france. this was the route

along which in the thirty-seventh it was ant6 that was brought to the top of the planet to the north pole of the papanins, if anyone has forgotten, comrade popanin, the head of the wintering camp north pole, brave winterers, the cameraman of the union of newsreels, comrade troyanovsky, and also by name, the head of the expedition, ottoyul shmit, commander of the flagship aircraft, hero of the soviet union vodopyanov, hero of the soviet union 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 flown out on soviet planes on imported, consolidated flister juners, and already in the thirty- seventh only their ant6. let's follow their route. at first, the planes were, let’s say, hybrid, for example, they had wheels.

soviet engines worked flawlessly. soviet engines, there is one, let's say, footnote here. is this the same motor? yes, this is an m17, one of the modifications, some modifications were on boats, on boats, on tanks, yes, it is, it is a powerful engine. how did you manage to do all this so quickly, political will? well, firstly, political will, and secondly, in general , resources. what kind of resource? more 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 look, you won’t see that the hanger and wooden tool box that were present on the first modifications were later replaced with a canvas bag, the hanger was removed altogether, and made lighter. the economical dad continued to stock up on cargo, delving into everything, arguing with the icemen because of every kilogram. eh, you take a lot, ivan dmitrievich. molokov friendly reproached him, but papanin did not give up, no concessions, no compromises, more than 10 tons of papanin’s property were loaded onto the planes, but isn’t this a hint of how many bombs the planes could take even at the longest distance, but that’s what the creators are for creators who added poetry. so, the plane lands in kholmogory. kholmogory is the birthplace of the great russian...

dangerous areas were poured with special paint, then one after another these planes then landed at the pole, this , later called the jump tactics, became the first rehearsal of how, during the cold war, the ussr built airfields on the ice in the arctic to intercept the strategic aviation of that very america. and we still haven’t told you that there was a project link when the long-range tb-3 became a flying aircraft carrier. they attached it to him.

fighters 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 of such and such? aircraft, even engines. i have always said that our country is small, there is nowhere to store it, if about 800 tbx aircraft were produced and not a single one could be installed. here we will introduce you to another of our interlocutors, the one who collected documents for us on tb-3 in the central archive of the ministry of defense. what does tb-3 mean to 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 realize later that we once did something wrong, on this in the diagram, yellow is what scattered, and green is what remains of tb-3, which sank to the bottom of lake ladazh, but so far only robots have examined it, now divers have also been there, right in

the chair , guys, how are you? the guys spent 2 hours under water, the guys , of course, had to come to their senses after this, they were very tired, well... tb3 then brought food to our units to the surrounded finns. in february, the finns intercepted senior lieutenant karepov's tb-3, which had run down on the ice. why did he sit down? in a science fiction film there is a deep raid the idea was allowed that the only thing that could stop the almighty tb3 was balloons, which were used to suspend the grid under tension. 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 lake. at that

time, 13 combat missions with 70 flight hours. and about completing the task of throwing food to the surrounded troops, yes, he was just flying towards the troops who would. correction in the air is 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 straightforward, but it is understandable. despite the shelling and the disabling of one engine, with a great desire to complete the task, thanks to what was disabled. two engines landed forcedly on the territory occupied by the white finns, from where the entire crew was brought out in deep snow and had with them a machine gun removed from the ship, for which for this feat he was nominated for the order of the red banner,

however, the coordinates of this plane and two more, which were finns then they forced me to go to forced, there were only the most approximate ones, we were looking for these three planes. we were looking for something from what was in the archives for almost 5 years, and indeed it was a great success to find fragments of an airplane at a depth of about 80 m, it was of course luck, the other two are unknown, no, but this is what we saw on diagram, the green one that has been preserved and the yellow one that has fallen off, there is no such visibility now, and there is no current there, like let’s say at sea, everything, and you are hanging, it doesn’t go anywhere, it’s just hanging above you like a cloud, and i had to walk around like this in different pieces.

immediately after pearl harbor, germany and japan declared war, 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 are also fascinated and frightened by 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 like landing planes under...

and its designer tupolev, but if everyone else was named by name, then they are silent about the plane and its creator, so we must not forget what else was going on in 1937-1930, when these films were made? tupolev was imprisoned just in the thirty-seventh, when polar explorers were received at the central airfield in moscow, then even ota yulievich shmit, there, when the radio brought to us the news of crimes, of atrocities that an individual tried to commit here, partly carried out against our country, against our party, against our leader, our hearts, along with the whole country, were seething with anger, and we were a small detachment there in the northern...

the war, but then another train made itself known, on the thirty-seventh, the radio beacon gave the direction exactly to the north, the plane is flying over a continuous layer of clouds, at an altitude of 200 m, then it turned out that this is wow, what a height, in reality, tb3 could have risen even higher, in the film there is a deep raid, when a soviet bomber is attacked... enemy fighters, then the arrows, ours are leading fire from top to bottom, well, naturally,

they shoot down everyone, in 1941, konstantin simonov, who described what he saw himself, was the opposite, the germans were from above, they knocked out another tb3, the crew parachuted and finished it off in the air, these are actually problems the finnish one also made itself felt, when three tv-3s at once made an emergency landing on laduga, and by the way, most of the members... of the crews of the two other tb-3s that were never found died. well, where was the surviving pilot of this plane in 1941? pozhedaev? he continues his service in third heavy bomber regiment, and on june 30, 1941, he also performed a feat in the skies over the city of bobruisk. do you have any documents? like this. yes. this is award material. it says that in the forty-first order of the red star. relied on the fact that, despite the dense fire of anti-aircraft guns, he hit the crossing on the berezina with his bombs and

accordingly stopped the advance of the germans, and the bereznatka crossing is the living and the dead, it is the living and the dead, yes, we remember what happened next with simonov, lucky soviet the bomber is attacked by the mesers, and as was the case with pazhidaev, the ship was set on fire by 109 fighters, the crew jumped out by parachute, received severe burns, and landed at the location of our troops, but this is exactly according to konstantin simen, did you see? right above us, they saw our falcons, like blind... no, that is , the nameless pilot with whom siminov is talking is tikhan ivanovich pozhidaev, wow, the best navigator of the regiment, my navigator, and pazhidaev himself, how many did he still live? unfortunately, on august 31, 1942, he died

during a combat mission. also on tb-3, yes, on 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 do not know whether 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.

in a different way, they should have dealt with the horn, as it was with little blood on foreign territory,

but although the great... domestic developed according to a completely different scenario, the war tb3 they weren’t written off right away, but 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. in august '41 there were raids on the romanian constanta, the chernovodsk bridge over the danube and the all-refinery plant in klaeste. and the tb-3 also flew to the landing of leningrad, where tank engines were evacuated from there and to the crimean partisans. what else? those who drive along the kaluga highway most often miss this monument in the village of papino at speed, but it’s worth stopping. almost two hundred soldiers and commanders of the fifth airborne corps, who fell but stopped the germans on the approaches to moscow, are buried here. it's like that. but there is one inaccuracy in this monument. the plane shown is twin-engine. and

we checked, in fact, the landing aircraft in that building were four-engine. tb3 turns out to be used until 1940-1942, and it seemed to flash about the landing of ours to the kursk bulge, this is already the forty-third, but then it begins to be written off, written off and sent for scrap, now we are saying, this is a dinosaur, unfortunately, just like dinosaurs became extinct, unfortunately in our country all the tb3 planes were for some reason destroyed, how can we restore at least one?

this is to find a plane that lies under water, yes, of course, although the first feeling is that everything should rust there, if the depth is more than 10 m, silt sand preserves the metal, and if not,

beat yourself in the head. the main thing is, van, hurry up, that sparks interest, uh, uh, what started, and makes life brighter. you

have imprisoned me in the fires, of course, flint. ivan, oh, so we’re going out, soon, most of all, like in donetsk, what’s so impressive? there is a very imperceptible thin line between war and peace, everyone is walking, peaceful life, i was also surprised by this, people are accustomed to all this, that this is peaceful life, now there is war, the brigade was just standing there to take the medical facility away on time, but it didn’t arrive there, let's hope that very soon the long-awaited peace will come to this long-suffering land.

well, now watch the documentary. and the world about how the battles for avdiivka went on, which our troops were liberated in february of this year. listen, but the traffic is straight on the dense roads, yes, you know, despite active hostilities, people are returning to the city, you know, in general, when i first came here in 1818, i was of course very impressed by the city, i’m from voronezh myself, there is also a wide river in the center of the city, such architecture is this soviet post-war, the cities are very similar and how i got home, i was very impressed, you know, i was there in the summer, that there were so many flowers, roses, roses, roses, there are roses everywhere, i didn’t hear this legend then

that donetsk is the city of roses. i was impressed, and the people, of course, are incredible people, donetsk residents, residents of donbass, kind, sympathetic, strong in character, of course, i want them to finally breathe deeply, so that this horror that is happening on their land will stop , and the city is simply gorgeous, i’m in love, over the last year it’s almost become my second home.

you can see me behind me. let's hope that very soon the long-awaited peace, people need to live, many have nowhere to go, they understand this very well, and many are used to it, this is where we are.
