The Tupolev ANT-7 known by the VVS as the Tupolev R-6 ( R – razvedchik – reconnaissance) was a reconnaissance aircraft and escort fighter of the Soviet Union. The R-6 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 light bombing and torpedo attacks.
