Originally a civilian design from the French-Sponsored Moraine-Blyazakov Company, the R wz.10 was called into service as Pteroslavia's first military aircraft in 1910, in preparation of the coming skirmishes in Crimea. There, it performed admirably, granting many of the PRAF's first pilots with valuable experience flying the machines over enemy lines. In 1912, the Pteroslavian-born Alexandrei Blyazakov was granted a full royal charter for business across Pteroslavia and her allies, along with further military contracts; Under the condition he split with his French partners. He quickly signed the agreement and the formerly french-owned manufacturies were nationalized and granted to Blyazakov. He continued production of the aircraft for the PRAF and PRN. At the outbreak of the Great War, before hostilities in Europe opened up in full, the design was changed to accommodate the mounting of an 8mm machine-gun, above the propeller arc, though the non-removable nature of the mounting and the tendency of the weapon to overheat and jam in flight led it to have a dubious reputation of the armed version of the plane. The plane was removed from service altogether in 1915, with the previous design of dedicated military aircraft overshadowing its use.
