 Modified Pe-8 was uncared-for in production at the factory  22 already at the end 1943. He has assigned the factory indication a plane "T".  At March 1944 plants has stopped production Pe-8 and his(its) modification plane T.              Background of experience Nezvalya was realized in OKB Tupolev.

 

 Neither these two projects , nor similar projects plane "DVB 202" and

"DVB 302" OKB Myasischev, nor bomber "64" Tupolev, were not viable after Stalin comes to a conclusion - copy B-29.
