Who even needs wings

Don't think we need the tail either

You know what just get rid of the engines too lol

So uh... Yeah pretty sure I made this at like 3:00 AM or something.


Meet the Lifting Flanker! Because not even the lifting body plane could escape Soviet copycat-ism!

Although, really only the name was taken. In terms of technology and avionics it has nothing to do with the X-24 or HL-10. The tech? Just snap off all the pieces that would make it logically fly and replace all its fuel with vodka whilst blasting the 24 hour version of "Red Army Is the Strongest - Rock Remix." Surprisingly it worked, and now this... thing, exists.


This better not get more upvotes than the J2M or else I'll buy a T-34

Don't do it

PLEASE
