Bomber - flying boat A-57. Infographics

The project of the bomber - the flying boat T-203 - was created at 1952 by Mr. Robert Bartini, at that time the head of the advanced schemes department of the Siberian Research Institute aviation them. S.A. Chaplygin. An excellent mathematician, without expensive blowing and significant expenses, he literally “cleaned up” the scheme of an airplane with a variable wing along the leading edge of the sweep.

The A-57 aircraft was a strategic integrated system that included an amphibian seaplane itself capable of taking off and landing on the water surface, as well as on snow and ice (it was possible to use forward-based aerodromes in the Arctic on drifting ice floes), and heavy controlled jet RCC projectile (OKB PV Tsybin), located on the carrier aircraft.

I read such articles and wonder how could our military equipment be said to step right at that time right into the 21st century. We witnessed how the TU 144 plane was not acceptable to the West and it was a great achievement of Soviet science, and now the hawks of the USA and Europe are tearing their breasts and claws after seeing the parades on the day of the Navy and the exhibition Army 2017. We now reproduce more the achievements of our Russian Design bureau during the USSR, no no I don’t want to offend modern engineers and theoreticians and scientists, although they use the old people’s achievements, they also improve their technical data and link them with modern electronics and space forces, you all say that I have sadness in the USSR I think that my generation has most of this, but how not to be sad and rejoice. The first satellite, the first dog in space Laika, then Squirrel and Strelka. And the first man in flight, Yuri Gagarin, is the triumph, and the world's first atomic icebreaker Lenin, but can you describe everything. But the most important thing of our science, this USSR created a club for the USA, created an atomic and hydrogen bomb, Sadness is not sad at the time, but we live in a new era and we must all perceive it as we perceived those achievements in the USSR, I’m proud to say that Russia proudly stepped with a raised head into the 21st century. There are articles in the press that Russia has a big backlog in space, there is no need to make hasty forecasts, but I want to say that the Angara and the Federation have not yet fully shown in business, gentlemen, but we still have a backlog from the USSR, Buran and the like, Mir and ISS it's not a chapel. Russia will create a station in space, where Buran will show himself, it will be economically cheaper to launch it in space. that's what the Angara and the Federation are for.
