The Tupolev DB-1, internal designation ANT-36, was a Soviet single-engined long-range bomber of the 1930s developed from the ANT-25 record-breaking aircraft. The air force wanted to trade some of the ANT-25's fuel for bombs or cameras, with a 1,000 kg load over an operational radius of 2,000 km. The airframe, engine and crew compartments stayed almost unchanged, but it got a smooth skin, a bomb bay in the wing centre section for ten 100 kg bombs, a camera and defensive machine guns. First flown in 1934, it was built at Voronezh, but poor manufacturing quality led the air force to reject the first production aircraft. Only eighteen were built, ten entered service with one regiment, and all were withdrawn in 1937.
