Historical Context and Use of the Be-10

Be-10 (NATO code: Mallow) is a jet-powered flying boat designed by the Beriev Design Bureau for the Soviet Navy. The prototype Be-10 first flew in 1956, and serial production began in 1957. The aircraft was primarily used for maritime reconnaissance, patrol, and anti-submarine duties. Apart from the USSR, it was not used by any other country. The most well-known period of Be-10 service was during the Cold War era until the early 1970s, when it was replaced by more modern aircraft. The Be-10 was notable for its innovative design—it was the world’s first operational jet-powered, twin-engine combat flying boat.
