3) Mine either.

Yours isn't worth anything to begin with.

...Well, guess that answers that.

The photos to the right of the UR700 mod(?) are all of the LK1 which would have been UR500 launched (in fact the top two images are from the same photo - one is reversed, and heavily retouched to remove the Launch Escape system).

The UR-700 mod model is an earlier concept before the addition of the RD270.

Yeah, I should have cropped the images that I found.

...Actually, a couple of those I hadn't seen before. So your "mistake" was my gain. Thanks

Chelomei not only design the UR-700 rocket on Paper.
He order the construction of two Testmodel in 1/10 size of original rocket for dynamic simulations
and that one BIG model still exist in the Chelomey Design Bureau that occupies three floors !
They used Rubber hoses served to "refuel" the model with water (UR-700 use propellant transfer during launch)

1). UR-700K
2). UR-700 with RO-31 nuclear rocket engine (250 t to LEO)

all images (c) NPOMash
please don't repost anywhere

3). UR-700 compared to N1 and Saturn V

The whole point of the UR-700 was to be able to be manufactured in moscow's plants and then brought by train to baikonur. Any idea how the RO-31 nuclear engine stage would have been manufactured or brought to the launch site?

From what I understand, it was originally meant to replace the RD-119 in the Kosmos 2 launcher, which had a high ISP (352s) because it used Liquid Oxygen with UDMH, apparently they wanted the same performances with fully storable and hypergolic propellant, which required the use of a high pressure FFSC cycle.
It was later proposed for the later R-56 on the 4th stage (V. Molodtsov, “Manned Space Flights” )
