Re: Tupolev Tu-2
Keith -
132 BAP was equipped with the Tu-2 from Oct 42 to the end of the war and eventually operated on the central sector of the Eastern Front. Rear area aircraft evaluation and trials to May 1944, then assigned to 334 BAD for combat operations as a conventional bomber regiment.
47 GvDRAP was equipped with the Tu-2 from mid-1943 and flew them to the end of the war, using them in the long-range strategic reconnaissance role from bases at Moscow, Smolensk and Minsk.
I see no evidence in my notes that the Tu-2 was ever used at low-level or in a fighter-bomber role.
