Hi,
the Leningrad Construction Bureau of Aeronautics designed many little known airship Projects,such as L-100,L-117,L-200 & L-300,
also a double dirigible L-215,the numbers indicates to a weight tons,and to be honest,I don;t know if they built anyone of
them or not.
L + K 11/1970.
I found this in a 1990s 'Yellow Peril (Japan)' techno-thriller called 'The War in 2020' (1991), the book ends with a note indicating that the writing of it was finished in April of 1990. It features this tank which I am guessing was based on the reports of these tanks in the west. Here are the...
Future Soviet tank project “Object 490 Poplar” was under development by Eugenie Morozov's team from the end of 70-th up to the end of 80-s.
The main features of the “Object 490” were:
- crew consisting of two people - commander-gunner and driver. Reduce the crew to two people and place them in...

I write correctly - a tank? In old Soviet magazines of the late Stalin period and early Khrushchev I saw an interesting project of a lunar scientific tank. But - in Russian. Literary Russian language you will not understand. But tonight I downloaded a very interesting book. This is an Indian...

My 3D models of two comparable 1980s SSTO projects:
This one is meant to represent the "Government baseline" vehicle that was the end result of the $5.5-million COPPER CANYON study program run in 1984-1985, and input for NASP Phase 2. It was scaled up somewhat from the initial "du Pont...
Apparently the SR 71 was able to evade Soviet air defences simply because it travelled too fast.
The reason I am interested in this is that there were proposals in 1960/61 for a British ramjet missile (OR 1182) which would fly at speeds in excess of M = 2 and at high altitude. A report was...

Could some-one in the know explain what the research ships Akademik Ioffee and Akademik Vavilov were built to do?
I've just been on the Ioffe and there is some interesting kit still onboard. The standard answer was that they were built in 1989 for sound propagation trials, Ioffe the transmitter...
Would the history of Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union have been different if Grigory Vasilyevech Romanov had been elected as Secretary General of the CPSU on March 11, 1985 rather than Mikhail Gorbachev? Thoughts?
I'm just wondering, have any drawings or artist impressions of the original Project 705 design, before they changed over to the design that would lead to the Alfa class, surfaced (no pun intended!) in recent times?
Of course, we've all heard of the SPPU-22, SPPU-6 and maybe SPPU-687... but what exactly with the SPPU-30's intended role? What about the other flexible gun mounts under development in the early 80s?
Some information on the PP-27 mobile gun mount for the Su-27...
I could be mistaken, but despite the numerous mentions of BOR-4 program (which led to BOR-5 and then Buran) I haven't found a single topic devoted to it, so here goes.
These pictures show the Kosmos-1445 sub-scale demonstrator being retrieved at sea after some flight test. The second one...
Until the early 1920s, aircraft development was based mainly on the intuition of designers. As for aerodynamics, this science was in its infancy. Suffice it to say that the concept of inductive resistance was not known at that time, which led to the emergence of "flying monsters" with three...
Hi everybody,
I'm looking for information about soviet decoy missiles launched from bombers, if any.
In the USA during the Cold War there were some projects about decoy missiles (i.e. the ADM-20 Quail or the Convair MX-2223), but I didn't find any info about similar projects in the Soviet Union...
