Tupolev ANT-6

Tupolev ANT-6 is the manufacturer name but the single buyer, the Soviet Air Force named it TB-3. In 1940, the type was in a process of retirement (despite still playing a main role in July 1941 !). Airframes were actually converted to passenger and cargo transport for Aeroflot and rename as Tupolev G-2. This only sight with such a blurred shape couldn't help to say exactly which variant.

Places

Airport of Kiev-Brovary which was the place where Istrebiteli was filmed the previous year. German army offensive totally destroyed it in 1941 and after the war, a new place was held for the next airport.
Just before the touch down of the Laville PS-89 in front of some Polikarpov U-2s and other passenger aircraft.

Another outstanding place (despite still unidentified). Seen during the paradropping demo at the airshow.

Autogiro

Seems closest to the Cierva C.30 than any Soviet indigenous design.
