I share with you some pictures of the impressive K-7 aircraft designed in the Soviet Union in the interwar period as heavy bomber but did not go into production. Visit the link below, see the collection of pictures and leave there your opinion or comment: Do you think the K-7 would succeed in his mission as a bomber?

THE GIANT BOMBER OF THE 30’S – KALININ K-7

Citat:Both a military and political role

The aircraft was not only big and had great firepower, it also had an important role in politics as most of the chrome-molybdenum steel used was coming from inside the USSR. Because of this big step which meant that Russia had built the plane entirely (almost) by itself instead of importing most of the steel, created a lot of suspicion around the accident that led to the crash of the aircraft. But the investigation never got to a conclusion (at least it was not made public) and although two more prototypes were ordered they never got completed as the program was cancelled in 1935, only four years after the building of the original K-7 had started.There are not many photos to be found of the K-7 and many of them have been edited and/or enhanced using computers. But never the less we know that this creation is one of USSR’s most astonishing ever. To be able to transport 120 passengers in 1933 must have been an astonishing feature, just imagine that a lot of people lived to see the wright brother’s first (comparatively poor) flight and then this, only 30 years later. What a time to be alive! Many ambitious and impetuous projects have been cancelled over the years, and the Kalinin K-7 will always be counted as one of them.

Obvious disadvantages were wings ,wide wings and very low speed of this flying giant for any serious - mass bombing missions against Germany in WWII.
