Seeking Soviet Experimental/Concept Aircraft (especially from the 70s or 80s)

[Maverick2599]

Im looking for any sort of pictures of experimental Soviet aircraft, the more unusual the better.

Have you considered searching the forum?

I've combed thru several threads and I'm still searching as we speak but I'm mainly finding prototypes of the Su-37

Well, if you are looking for photos of actually built experimental aircraft that didn't enter production from this period, there's not really much to find. Lots of concepts that never made it past paper studies though. Can you clarify a bit, its rather a vague request. The Soviet Union wasn't big on "X-Planes".

There's several experimental aircraft built by MAI (Moscow Aviation Institute) in that timeframe:

This topic maybe?
Western Artists' Concepts of Soviet aircraft during the Cold War

Well, that's fictional. Not sure it meets the brief?

I'm mainly looking for artists renditions of experimental Soviet aircraft. It doesn't matter if their fantasy or not.
