Russian jet attack bomber FNB ?

[hesham]

Hi,


in Alternathistory site,they spoke about Russian jet attack bomber called FNB,and
it was mention in the book; Отечественные бомбардировщики 1945-2000г,edition 2.

I suspect only in the drawing,may be from author imagination.


and it was began from 1942 as in CIA report,and from google translation;

The newspaper "World News" № 13 (119) ZA1-7 APRIL 1996 Gleb Angry in the article "From the archives of the CIA: Russian secret weapon" privodti unique materials to create in the USSR under the direction and A.Biryukova V.Martynenko series airplanes: heavy armored attack TBSH-106 (draft 1940-1942 years), multi-purpose heavy fighter MTI (Project 1945 1947godov) bomber carrying nuclear weapons FNB.

Who heard about this before,and was it a real design ?.

I think we're all agreed that the drawing Hesham posted is fictional. The question is whether the FNB was a real program.

I'd guess that it was actually a US codename for a generic projected bomber -- FNB sounds like Future Nuclear Bomber, the sort of name used for hypothetical design studies.

My dear Borovik,

Compare with the Focke-Wulf 1000x1000x1000 bomber design B.
