Note: I give 98% of the credit to BogdanX for this airplane. This modification just for history’s sake.

History: On 1st May 1960, the world was astonished to learn that the missile defenses of Sverdlovsk had shot down a Lockheed U-2 of the US Central Intelligence Agency. Parts of the aircraft were put on display in Moscow’s Gorkiy Park. What the world was not told was that for months afterward a vast area was combed by large squads looking for every fragment of the downed aircraft (which had broken up at high altitude). All the pieces were brought to GK NiL WS, where they were carefully studied. On 28th June 1960, SovMin Directive 702-288 instructed OKB No16 in Kazan, led by P. F. Zubets, to copy the J57-P-13 engine. This was a blow to Zubets, whose RD-500 was in the same thrust class, and even more to the several engine designers (Dobrynin, Lyul’ka, Kuznetsov, and Tumanskii) who had engines on test which were more powerful and of much later design than the massive Pratt & Whitney. On 23rd August 1960, Directive 918-383 ordered OKB No49, assisted by neighboring No86, to study the U-2 and produce five copies, designated Beriev S-13. These were primarily to support “a multidiscipline study of the structural, technical, and maintenance aspects of the U-2, and master its technology for use in indigenous aircraft.” It was also expected that the S-13 would be used to collect upper-atmosphere samples, destroy hostile balloons and (using the 73-13, or AFA-60, camera) undertake reconnaissance missions. Despite inexorable increases in weight over the US original, work attempted to meet the
first-flight date of first quarter 1962. Much of the supporting equipment had already been developed for the Yakovlev Yak-25RV and Tsybin RSR. On 1st April 1961, a detailed metal fuselage mock-up was completed, with “models of its systems.” A Tupolev Tu-16 “Badger” was readied for testing the engine (now designated RD-16-75), landing gears and other items, while CAHI tunnels confirmed that the U-2 had the exceptional L/D ratio of 25. Out of the blue, on 12th May 1962, Directive 440-191 ordered the whole S-13 project to be terminated.
