It flew from Moscow to Spassk-Dalny (7,580 km (4,710 mi)) in 24 h 36 min (an average speed of 307 km/h (191 mph)) mostly at 7,000 m (23,000 ft) under control of Vladimir Kokkinaki and A. It went on to set six world records in its class, generally in payloads to height and speed over a 5,000 km (3,100 mi) closed circuit. covering 8,000 km (5,000 mi) at 348 km/h (216 mph) average airspeed (Kokkinaki and Mikhail Gordienko). DB-3 2M-85 Initial production model DB-3 2M-86 (DB-3A) Engines upgraded to M-86, other minor changes DB-3 2M-87A (DB-3B) Engines upgraded to the Tumansky M-87A DB-3T (TsKB-53) Torpedo bomber built in 1938, with either the M-86 or M-87 engine, armed with 45-36-AN or 45-36-AV torpedoes. The last production batches in 1940 had the Tumansky M-88 that produced 1,100 horsepower (820 kW) for takeoff.

Flight tests of the second example pre-production aircraft, conducted May-October 1937, revealed that it was slightly inferior to the TsKB-30 in performance, but still exceeded its requirements by a considerable margin. The aircrafts were likely been used by the Nationalist forces or Soviet volunteers until the aircrafts were eventually replaced by newer, larger bombers like B-24 from USAAF.Bombing airfield is more dangerous, as you are not only exposed to AAA fire, but also attackers hiding in your gunner's deadzones.

The ␗DB-3A(known as 德勃-3轟炸機 in Chinese) represented the 24/30 DB-3 bombers aided to China in June 1939 alongside with other Soviet bombers like SB; the aircraft was perhaps more well-known to Chinese during major bombing runs on Japanese-occupied Wuhan Wangjiadun (王家墩) airfield which the bombers scored more than 100 aircrafts and hundreds of Japanese aircrews in September and October 1939. A high-output DBB engine with three twin-choke Weber 35 DCO 3 carburettors, special long duration camshafts, high compression 8.

It had a number of improvements over the TsKB-26, notably an all-metal structure, an extended nose, an aft-sliding canopy with a fixed windscreen and improved engine cowlings. At a flying weight of 15,873 to 17,195 lb (7,200 to 7,800kg) their sea level speeds were equal to 265 to 270mph (428 to 436km/h) at a critical altitude of 16,300ft (4,960m).James Bond drives an Aston Martin DB Mark III in the novel version of Goldfinger, though it is referred to as a "DB III" in the book – indeed, the chapter in which he drives to his famous golf-course encounter with the villain is entitled 'Thoughts in a DB III'.

TsKB-56 Bigger variant from 1940 with changed configuration (higher wing, twin-tail) and powered by two AM-37 engines. It is a brilliant base / airfield-bombing plane with a maximum bombload of 1x 1,000 kg + 2x 500 kg bombs, allowing it to easily finish a base or cripple airfield modules in one run. The Moskva's long distance flights greatly influenced the development of the DB-3's airframe, engines and equipment.The standard DBA engine model with twin SU carburettors produced 162 hp (121 kW), though an optional dual-exhaust system (a claimed 16 b. Particularly notable were its ease to take-off, rapid climb, good stability without any suggestion of yaw, steady level flight (which made it a good bombing platform), tight turns with 40° to 60° of bank, and easy landing approach. The only known surviving DB-3 is currently displayed at the Central Air Force Museum at Monino, near Moscow, Russia.
