Myasishchev 3MS-1 'Bison-B'

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.

In 1959 the 201M established a series of impressive world records. Simultaneously 
setting a record for zero payload for the same course, the 201M lifted a 55 tonne 
payload to 43,036 feet, a record unmatched by any other aircraft until the 
appearance of the C-5 Galaxy. It was only realised in the west in 1967 that 
the 201M was a Bison' variant.

Production consisted of approximately 45 M-4's (Bison-A), 77 3MN/3MS  (Bison-B) and 9 3MD (Bison-C)
