The Ju 287 was only intended as a medium bomber given its size and bombload. The Ju 287 V2 was actually not completed in the USSR after WW2; if you have read Horst Lommel's 2004 book from Schiffer Publishing about the Junkers Ju 287, the V2 was nearing completion in late 1944, but was eventually moved to the edge of a forest at Brandis along with Ju 287 V1, and both V1 and V2 were finally blown up by the Germans near the end of the war to avoid capture by Allied forces. Some remnants of the Ju 287 V2 were, however, used in construction of the EF 131 bomber prototype after WW2, namely the wing sections, which could explain why some older publications on Nazi jet aviation (e.g. Hitchcock's 1974 Monogram publication on the Ju 287) confused the EF 131 with the Ju 287 V2 when claiming that V2 was completed and flown in the USSR after the war, because the EF 131 had six engines like the second Ju 287 prototype and V2 was originally intended to have four jets under the wings and two jets on the forward fuselage before Junkers later decided to have the Ju 287 V2 feature turbojets mounted in triple packs under the wings, as would be conceived for the third Ju 287 prototype, planned Ju 287A-1 production version, and EF 131.
