Myasischev 3MS-1 ‘Bison-B’

Myasishchev 3MS-1 ‘Bison-B’ for FS2004

One of the Soviet Unions’ most underestimated aircraft, the Myasishchev bomber

usually known as the M-4 ‘Bison’ or ‘Molot’ has probably been at least as

important to the development of the Long-Range Aviation (DA) and the AVMF

(Soviet Naval Aviation) as the better known Tupolev Tu-95 Bear’.With the

expansion of the Soviet Navy in the 50’s and 60’s, many Bison-B’s were

transferred to the AVMF to serve as long range reconaissance aircraft.The

Bison-B’ was one of the first Soviet types to carry a flight-re-fuelling

probe, a number of the ‘Bison-As’ being converted to tanker configuration.
