The MBR-2, a naval short-range reconnaissance aircraft, was created in 1932 at the Central Design Bureau of Marine Shipbuilding (TsKBMS) by a design team headed by G. M. Beriev. The MBR-2 prototype with the M-17 engine made its first flight on May 3, 1932. In 1935, the production of MBR-2bis began with M-34 engines, improved aerodynamics and weapons. For the operation of a flying boat from ground airfields, a wheeled chassis of a simple design was developed. The combat use of the MBR-2 took place during the battles with the Japanese troops near Lake Khasan in 1937. It was used in the Winter War between the USSR and Finland in 1939-40. By the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, the MBR-2 was the main seaplane of the RKKF aviation.
