Re: Why DB-3f is counted as one of the old types on 22 June 41?
Hi
it is difficolt to exacly say about this. In ADD aviation there were on 22 VI 41: 1789 DB-3/DB-3F of wich 1558 bombers were servicable.
In the navy aviation of VVS there were also DB-3T (t-torpedo+ see mine carrires)/+DB-3F in 3 next regiments (221 next planes in 1. + 2. +3 MTAP). As for 25 IV 40 there were in navy aviation: 133 DB-3 + 88 DB-3F. I do not have data for 22 VI 41. You should remember this too.
But, for example against Berlin in August-September 41 were sent both: DB-3T of 1. MTAP + DB-3F of ADD regiments.
Probably, it is speculation, that there were about 1200 of DB-3Fs and next about 800 DB-3s version.

BTW the new version (DB-3F0 was in flying characteritic worse then DB-3, less stabile
