    I can't believe anybody thought that was practical. A fighter would chew it up.

      Yea, but by the looks of the middle turret it could go one on one with a Battle Ship.

        It looks like a cruise ship with wings.

          I was just taken back by the overall size of the plane and thought that I would share it.

            Yeah, but you gotta love the pics with it in aerial combat with the Nazi flying saucer!

              I'd hope it flies well minus one engine. With that many and given how reliable Russian anything was likely to be, the pilots could probably count on being one motor short at some point in every flight.

              They'd have to be pretty powerful, too. Those wings are awfully thick and draggy.
