A long-range version of the Ju 87 B was also built, known as the Ju 87 R. They were primarily intended for anti-shipping missions. The Ju 87R had a B-series airframe with an additional oil tank and fuel lines to the outer wing stations to permit the use of two 300-liter under-wing drop tanks. This increased fuel capacity to 1,080 liters (500 liters in the main fuel tank, of which 480 liters were usable, plus 600 liters from drop tanks). To prevent overload conditions, bomb-carrying ability was often restricted to a single 250 kg bomb if the aircraft was fully loaded with fuel.
Total production amounted to 972 Ju 87R (105 R-1, 472 R-2, 144 R-4), all built by Weserflug. The last Ju 87R rolled off the production lines in October 1941.
