The Polikarpov R-5 was a Soviet reconnaissance and multi-role reconnaissance aircraft from the interwar period and World War II. The drive was provided by a single engine M-17b or M-17f with 680 or 730 HP. The first flight of this machine took place in 1928. Serial production continued in the years 1930-1937, ending with the production of approx. 7,000 aircraft of this type. The deck armament usually consisted of 2-3 7.62 mm machine guns.
The R-5 was created as a grassroots initiative by Nikolai Polikarpov, who developed a light, two-plane machine with a solid structure and good performance. What's more - very susceptible to modernization. The machine quickly gained recognition of Soviet decision-makers and entered mass production. In its course, many variants of this aircraft were created, including: R-5 (the first serial version, intended for reconnaissance purposes), R-5T (torpedo aircraft), R-5Sz (attack aircraft with additional armor), MR- 5 (seaplane). The baptism of fire of these machines took place during the Chinese Civil War in 1933. They also took part in the war with Japan in 1938-1939 and in the attack on Poland in September 1939. When the war with Germany began in June 1941, several hundred aircraft of this type remained in service, but they were used primarily in aviation schools. However, they were used to supply partisan units and as night bombers. They were also used by Spain, Mongolia, Iran and Turkey.
