This was the Soviets version of the Sanger Silbervogel, it was slightly redesigned as they added two ramjets to get the aircraft up to speed then the activation of the rocket motor, though by the time the spaceaircraft would've have been ready it would be obselete by other designs though the work done on this project would actually help with the designs of the EKR, MKR, Buran (not the shuttle), and Burya ramjet curise missles (activator 1 for drouge chute)
