5:06 Transitioned from BMW engines to Soviet engines for reliability... Every BMW car owner....Yep.

5:41 What the hell is wrong with people from the past?!? “Let’s sit OUTSIDE THE PLANE” “Great idea Bob!”

i can not take this video serious with this music thats got me head boppin hah

It has retractable wheels!? !???!? Are you sure about that? Do you look at technical data about subject at all ????

The development institute is TSAGI and is pronounced like it looks not in individual lettres.

How informative! Nice, I had no idea!

06:00 That's NOT a supercharger it's a turbo....

Sliding off the wings?! Boy that’s bravery, I couldn’t see me doing that

In some parts, he shows other bombers, even the the huge PE-3 at 15:11!! In the part about the battle with Finland, none of them were TB3s. And despite what he says, the TB3 never had retractable landing gear. At 4:56 he shows bomb bay doors open and says it had retractable landing gear!!

Soviet Russia had to wait until it had seized B-29s that were in distress after the bombings on Japan and that had landed in the Soviet Union to copy this plane, the top of the bomber in 1944-45, and thus have for the first time a strategic bomber. The Tu-4 was the basis of the Soviet bombing in 1945. La Russie soviétique a dû attendre d'avoir saisi des B-29 qui était en perdition après les bombardements sur le Japon et qui se sont posé en union soviétique pour copier cet avion le top du bombardier en 1944-45 et ainsi avoir pour la première fois un bombardier stratégique. Le Tu-4 fut la base du bombardement soviétique en 1945.

At 05:39, are those men sitting on the top of that bomber in flight?

Thank you. I've always wanted to know more about this aircraft but information was scarce.

If the TB-3 had a retractable main landing gear, then why do you never see it retracted in any film of the bomber?

Well, the TB3 entered service in 1932 (Well after WW1) and flew with the soviet airforce until 1945, which is definitely WW2. But the Polikarpov i16 entered service in 1935. So the absolute earliest this rig could be based on the aircraft themselves would be 1935. But I doubt they had this setup ready and waiting for the i16 to be introduced, so now it's at least late 30's. Since these were used against the Germans, that puts it at least June 1941, which was Germany's Operation Barbarossa, it's attack on the Soviet Union. So, given the aircraft, and the date of Barbarossa, this rig may have been used in the very late 30' up to may 1941, but definitely in combat with Germany from june 1941 to VE day.

Seeing that monstrosity fly still doesn't convince me that, that behemoth could ever get off the ground. What a horrible piece of flying scrap metal it was. A true shock too the mind to comprehend such waste of perfectly good man hours. 😅 that horribly terrifying monster Stalin probably murdered a lot of innocent lives over this waste of good resources. What a horrible inhumane tyrant he was.

That thing is huge. 1st.

Nothing new here. The U.S. Navy did this in the 1920’s with Airships

Song sounds like “one night in Bangkok”

these background musics you give in all your videos like you used to

and russia has yet to repay the US for ww2.

Thanks for your excellent research.

now your cargo aircrafts can do same or better

not sure about the 80s music !

Mostly its own pilots.

I own this thing in War Thunder

Not that advanced for 1931! Compare with Zeppelin Staakken E 20... All metal, 4 engines, in 1920!

😊😊😊😊😊

Soviet Clown Car.

Complimentary algorithm enhancement comment!😊

The music is horrible

F N CLICKBAIT!!!

Damn! Is this 80s cheap porno soundtrack a mistake? Or plain lack os sense or epoch sensibility... Just inappropriate music, how ridiculous. Otherwise, the videos are very interesting.

That is not a ww2 plane . Its a ww1 bomber

Ridiculous documentary. Dark Skies needs to do better if wants to compete with the other history channels. I like the narrators voice but the footage is terrible. With better revenue this channel could go further in purchasing stock film that is an accurate representation and not mix in and repeat footage that is freely available.

Le titre est toialement stupide !

which plane took place of tb3 after it stopped production?
