Antonov A-40, KT.

Wow, I've only ever seen just a line drawing of it. Cool picture, Dmitry.

Check out the book Soviet X-planes if you like this stuff as much as I do.

  :)

[Edit: By the way, that is a TANK with wings attached!]

We all have a blind date with Destiny... and it looks like she's ordered the lobster.

Sorry about the size, don't have access to any software to reduce it at the moment

KT it is  :) BTW the only test flight that I am aware of is took place with T-60 without turret. That you can on my foto. The one that you have posted does have turret and apperes to be during its glide!
