These airships were constructed in Russia in 1910 at the Izhora Plant in Kolpino near Saint Petersburg, according to the project of professors K.P.

[2][1] The armament of the airship, according to the 1912 technical requirements, consisted of three "Maxim" machine guns with an ammunition load of 3,000 rounds.

During tests with "Madsen" machine guns, good results were achieved: hits during firing from a distance of 600 meters amounted to 73.8%.

[3] After the start of World War I, the airship was sent to the front; B.V. Golubov was appointed commander, and the crew was recruited from volunteers.

On the return trip, the airship was mistakenly fired upon by soldiers of the Siberian Corps, damaging the envelope.

On 13 October, during another combat sortie, the airship was damaged by fog and strong winds, striking trees, and made a forced landing, which led to its destruction.
