The
DIS was a sleek twin-engined long-range escort fighter for tactical
bombers. It was also could be used as light bomber, torpedo-bomber and
recon.. Construction - mixed.
Two
built - one with AM-37 (designated 'T') and one with M-82F engines
(designated 'IT'). 'T' was finished in the end of 1941 and passed
factory tests, demonstrating 610km/h at 6800m. 'IT' was
finished later in October 1942 and tests were not finished - because
the Pe-2 was already in mass production. It was unnecessary to scatter
production efforts for aircraft with similar characteristics...
