Tupolev ANT-7

The Tupolev R-6 (development name ANT-7) was a Soviet reconnaissance aircraft and escort fighter. It traces its roots back to early 1928 when the Soviet Air Force needed a long-range multirole aircraft. The requirements were that it could be used for long-range transport defensive patrolling reconnaissance (thus its military designation was R-6. R stood for razvedchik reconnaissance) light bombing and torpedo attacks.

Made by Tupolev.

It is the successor of the Tupolev TB-1 .
