Early models of the B-29 did carry 20 mm cannons in the tail gunner position, however the guns used were unreliable and were replaced with cal .50s. the Russians however made no use of 20 mm produced by the capitalists at Hispano and instead used their own NS-23 cannon which was chambered in 23mm.

From the outside, the Soviet copy, the Tupolev Tu-4 looked virtually identical to the B-29. The length of the fuselage and the wingspan were the same. The speed was the same. The Soviet version had a higher ceiling, but that came at a price: the aluminum used by the Soviets was thinner and cheaper. The payload was virtually identical as were the placement and number of defensive armaments, though the Soviets added air-to-air missiles to their later models. They used 23mm guns instead of .50s.
