The VVS (Voenno-Vozdushnye Sily - military air forces) ordered several ANT-3s, designated R-3 (R - Razvedchik - reconnaissance), after successful flight tests led by Mikhail Gromov.[1] Tupolev proposed an upgraded version, to be powered by a 373 kW (500 hp) Mikulin engine, with a range of about 966 km (600 mi; 522 nmi).In the summer of 1926 the prototype R-3NL, named Proletariy (En:proletarian) and registered RR-SOV, piloted by Mikhail Gromov, assisted by mechanic Yevgeny Radzevich, flew a round Europe flight: Moscow - Königsberg - Berlin - Paris - Rome - Vienna - Prague - Warsaw - Moscow; After flying for about 120 km (75 mi; 65 nmi), a coolant expansion tank suffered fatigue failures, spraying water around the cockpit.[1] The second production ANT-3M-5, registered RR-INT and named Nash Otvet (En:Our Answer), was flown by S.A. Shestakov and D.F Fufayev from Moscow to Tokyo and return, via Sarapul, Omsk, Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Irkutsk, Verkhneudinsk, Chita, Nerchinsk, Blagoveshchensk, Spassk, Nanyuan and Yokohama, taking 12 days, covering 22,000 km (14,000 mi) in 153 hours flying time.[2] The flight was titled "The Great Eastern Overflight"[1] Data from The Osprey Encyclopedia of Russian Aircraft 1875–1995 [3]General characteristics Performance Armament
