Left Tu-22 M2-3 "45M"
the right version of Tu-160 with the deployment of one engine over another.
And unfortunately the question Paul's remains unanswered.

It was an attempt (before WW2) manufactured under license from the military version of Martin 156 under the symbol "OB"
At the forefront of the MTB-2 (4M-87A) ANT-44 (February 1939), from B. Rigmant "Under the symbol "ANT "and" Tu "

To Wurger's: Please specify on what twin-engines, are we talking about?:
silver is ANT-21 (MI-3), or perhaps ANT-45 (DIP2) 1936,
Green is probably ANT-40 (SB), or perhaps his gun-version , fighter ANT-46 (DI-8)
too bad visual resolving/quality

Hello Borovik.
Thank you very much.
I've just found the photo of the plane of the left side (TU 45)
I don't kown this version of Tu 160. If you are more details
i would be very interested
The central plane seems to be unmanned ?
What a pity I could not go and visit this museum !!
Thanks again. Bye

dear Borovik.
Thanks you. I learn two things ! but "Izdelie 54" and "tu 45"
the same plane ?
On the photo were we see "tu 64" "tu 4" and "tu 70" we could see
that the two floatplanes was not the same. I make mistake.
Thanks ..Bye
 
There's some hope for visiting it soon.
 
Some more notes:
-In image 2747 (the very last one posted by overscan) the nose of the Tu-2000 model can be seen in the foreground.
-Can anyone identify the white model extremely far back in image 2772 (the second last posted by overscan)? To me it looks like the Tu-500 UCAV (http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,4509.0.html).
 
Hello.
I'm always looking at photos....
On 2772 I see 2 green planes : no problem.
I see the TU 98 and TU 91 and just after the green
and in front of the two other what is this one. I don't
know ? could somebody tell me
Thanks
