The Zeppelin-Staaken R.VI was a four-engined German biplane strategic bomber of World War I, and the only so-called Riesenflugzeug ("giant aircraft") design built in any quantity.
Too young for World War II, his military service spanned the Korean War, service with the strategic bomber forces of the deep cold war, and the Vietnam War.
It was most notably fitted to the two prototypes of the Tupolev Tu-85 bomber, but the aircraft, and its engines, was not placed into production because of the promise offered by turboprop engines of immensely more power, like the Kuznetsov NK-12 used on the Tupolev Tu-95 strategic bomber.
It was intended to be a strategic bomber air base along the shore of the Arctic Ocean, giving it access to northern resupply ship routes, and was presumably for either forward deployment or weather diversion for the Soviet Union's Tupolev Tu-95 and Tupolev Tu-22 bomber force.
