Greetings All,

Love the designs from the early Atomic Age missile race. The Russian "Burya La-350" looks like something straight out of a 50's Sci-Fi space flick. = A "built like a Russian tank" answer to the US's SLAM "Flying Crowbar".

Looks a lot like Navajo

"Looks a lot like Navajo"
Somewhat, Terry, but the Navajo was a sleek stiletto compared to the blunt sledgehammer design of the Burya.?


The "No-Go-Navajo" was a pretty darn interesting bird on her own. She ~ would have ~ been one of the first weapon systems to use transistorized avionics and etched circuit boards. All hardened against EMPs. Her booster thrust wouldn't be matched until we produced the Saturn I in 1961. --- There was even one plan to use her booster to put a piggybacked X-15 into space!
