The PR-7 (Protopj-7) is a experimental aircraft of the marineon air force to test out the new Schirlant SC-7 Turboprop engine.
It used the airframe of the R-262M which has its jet engine removed, and gun was moved from the nose to the wings, total of 2 guns only mounted making it very lightweight

It flew first on July 1944, and another aircraft was also tested on the same date, but crashed. The performance of the turboprop was overall good, but notable problems were included such as overheating and engine tend to go flameout if moving at a too fast speed, this is because the lack of heat resistant material used on the engine

Over 13 aircraft were built, 4 crashed and 2 captured by the germans for research before its get pushed all the way back to berlin by the marineon ground forces and advancing red army forced it to leave marineon
