Hi everybody,
I'm looking for information about soviet decoy missiles launched from bombers, if any.

Found a website sometime ago about a variant of the AN-2 that was designed to shoot down U.S. GENETRIX Spy balloons. It had a turbo or supercharger to fly at high altitude. A rear turret was added with a gun.
Website had some great side views. Don't think it was ever built.
