The Tupolev ANT-10, given the air force designation R-7, was a single-engined sesquiplane light bomber and reconnaissance prototype of the early 1930s. Tupolev designed it as a rival to the Polikarpov R-5 for replacing the R-1, building on his earlier R-3 with a duralumin structure, a much larger upper wing taken from the I-4 fighter and an imported BMW VI engine. It could carry 500 kg of bombs in an internal bay and made its first flight on 30 January 1930. Its performance was little better than the R-5, whose wooden structure suited a time of metal shortages, so the type was abandoned the same year and only one example was ever built.
