ANT-18 (TSH-B, TSH-1)

In parallel with the work on the ANT-17 in the design bureau there was a design of a heavy armored attack aircraft based on the ANT-7 (R6) aircraft, which received the internal designation ANT-18. The overall concept of the project coincided with ANT-17. In contrast to the serial R-6, the ANT-18 was designed for two engines M-34, had armor and enhanced offensive small arms. Work on the project has progressed far enough, and by the time of the termination of work, the construction of the prototype has begun.
