Soviet Seaplane Jet Bombers
By Thomas Mueller
with illustrations by Jens Baganz
The Soviets, unliek the US, did not possess access to an extensive world-wide series of strategic airbases. Consequently, they produced a large number of designs for jet bombers that were to be based at sea. This article presents a number of these designs: The TsAGI Model 4221, the TsAGI model 5202, the Beriev SD-MBR, the Myasishchev M-70, the Myasishchev 3M-M, the Myasishchev "60M" nuclear powered bomber, the Bartini A-57, the Bartini Ye-57, the Bartini A-58, the LKVVIA (Moskalyov) GSB-1 (GS-1), the Beriev P-10B, the Beriev A-150 and the Tsybin RGSR. Data, description, history and three-views presented for each.
