- イリューシン設計局で設計された超音速戦術爆撃機です。強い後退翼にエンジンポッドを吊るした当時のコンベンショナルな設計と言えるでしょう。超音速といってもマッハ１を少し超える程度のもので当然巡航速度は亜音速です。主力機とはなれなかったようですがロシアらしいデザインの航空機でしょう。

Continuing development of front line bombers,
team of S.V.Ilyushin started development of supersonic jet bomber,
capable to achieve speed M=1.15 at altitude 4750m and deliver
3000kg bombs at range 2400-2750km.derwing nacells and bicycle
landing gear. High wing allowed to keep engines high enough
from the ground. Moving bulky wheels inside the fuselage allowed
to enjoy advantages of simple thin wing and small engine nacells.
Of course on expense of more complicated fuselage - it had to
be strengthened to handle increased load during the landing
and accommodate two more large cavities (in addition to bomb
bay and radar opening).
