Development


The MBR-7 (Morskoy Blizhnii Razvedchik - naval short-range reconnaissance) was a similar configuration to the earlier MBR-2 but was a more advanced design.[1] A mainly wooden cantilever shoulder-wing monoplane flying-boat.[1] The Klimov M-103 inline piston engine was mounted on struts above the wing driving a pusher propeller.[1] The pilot in an enclosed cockpit in the nose had access to a fixed forward-firing machine gun, the observer/gunner sat underneath a glazed canopy.[1] The observers canopy slid forward to access a pintle-mounted ShKAS machine-gun.[1]

It had an excellent performance but due to the lack of supply of Klimov engines the decision was made to continue building the MBR-2 and the MBR-7 did not go into production.[2]
