This first type of jet bomber was a two-engined one, produced under license in Czechoslovakia with the capacity to carry three tons of bombs and a combat radius of more than 2,000 km. Apart from carrying bombs, this aircraft is also equipped with a 23 mm Nudelman-Rikhter NR-23 cannon under the nose of the aircraft and displays the same type of cannon in the tail as a defensive weapon.
