Lets send the MiG company on the path not chosen wrt. their 'budget' fighters.
Instead, they make a spin-off of the MiG 19 that has a wing better suited for high speeds (not 8.74% t-t-c at root as on the -19, but under 4.5% as it was case with MiG-21; wing is also of the shorter span), and...
The story of how in 1968 the universal dynamic protection for the Object 775 and T-64A tanks was developed and tested, surpassing all subsequent developments of the Research Institute of Steel - "Contact" and "Contact-5". This page of the history of tank building is not mentioned anywhere...

Hello, good afternoon. This is my second post. Thank you for reading.
Russian old magazines on the Internet are a cemetery of romantic impractical futurism. I found absolutely unique magazines - a rarity even on the Internet. This is Knowledge-Power. Journals for students of polytechnic...
Does anyone know more about the Raketoplan designs in the background of the picture, which are on display at the Moscow Museum of Cosmonautics?
To which OKB do they belong?
