Secrets of forgotten victories. The tragedy of the Russian miracle

3


In 1963, the design bureau of Pavel Osipovich Sukhoi began designing a unique aircraft under the secret code "100". Chief Designer "weave", as it was called the developers, was appointed an outstanding aircraft designer Naum Semenovich Chernyakov.
After 6 years, "weaving" was ready for flight tests. It was a truly fantastic machine - cruise missiles with nuclear warheads. Abroad, "weave" was called "Russian miracle" and the plane of the twenty-first century. And today in the third millennium there is no aircraft with similar characteristics in the world. Unfortunately, after 10 successful flights, this project was closed.

    The undercover struggle did its job, and Tupolev simply crushed the "hundred" ... alas, this car was really a miracle ...
