V létě roku 1938 dostala konstrukční kancelář V. M. Petljakova požadavek na konstrukci dvoumotorového rychlého výškového stíhacího letounu. K zalétání dvoumístného prototypu Petljakov VI-100 došlo 22. prosince 1939 pilotem P. M. Stěfanovským, avšak zkoušky ještě pokračovaly do května roku následujícího. Motory byly řadové dvanáctiválce V. K. Klimova M-105 po 772 kW s turbokompresory TK-3. Letoun měl zabudovány čtyři pevné kanóny ŠVAK ráže 20 mm, pozorovatel/radista ovládal jeden pohyblivý kulomet ŠKAS ráže 7,62 mm. Bylo však rozhodnuto další práce zastavit a na základě vyhodnocení bojů Luftwaffe v Polsku byl zadán požadavek na přeměnu stroje na střemhlavý bombardér.

The Petlyakov Pe-2 (Russian: Петляков Пе-2) was a Soviet twin-engined dive bomber used during World War II. It was regarded as one of the best front-line medium bomber of the war and it was also successful in the roles of heavy and night fighter (Pe-3 variant) as well as of reconnaissance aircraft. It was similar in many respects to the wooden British de Havilland Mosquito. Pe-2s were manufactured in greater numbers (11,430 built) during the war than any other twin-engined combat aircraft except for the German Junkers Ju 88 and British Vickers Wellington.The Pe-2 was fast, maneuverable and durable. Several Communist nations flew the type after the war, when it became known by the NATO reporting name Buck. Six captured Pe-2s were also transferred from the Germans to the Finnish Air Force during the Continuation War, with the serial code PE- and the unofficial nickname Pekka-Eemeli.
