The Antonov An 40 was a soviet attempt to make a flying tank. The 40 was planned to be towed and dropped in the air. Of the few documents that exist, they all say the 40 was ditched early because of drag problems, but that it glided well. The T-60 light tank use was stripped of some armour and its armorment to solve weight issues, and had a crew of two. This model glides very well as long as you dont do any sudden large adjustments. Use activator 1 to ditch the wings. VTOL controls the turret traverse and yaw steers. The small hatch is controled by pitch after hitting activator 1. Hope you enjoy

@Awesomeplanes Because a while ago I improved on a flying tank design, It was an actual tank, but with wings (I'm not saying to go check it out)
@Awesomeplanes Lol
@Flightsonic, it's the Russians, when they start drinking some vodka really weird things come out, like this, the Tsar cannon, and the Tsar tank. But yes, this was a real thing
Wait this was a real thing? I had no clue
