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...

Took a trip to St.Petersburg earlier this week and visited in the Tsetralnyy Voenno-Morskoi Muzeyi or in the Central naval museum. It contains alot of models of Russian and Soviet warships of which many pics are found on the internet. Among those that are some of the famous never-where projects...
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?

This is a generic info on the shp someone with better Russian language skills could make a better translation!
After the design...
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...
