This is how the first days of
the Museum looked like. What is
happening there at the present
time? The Museum features almost
all prototypes of the Soviet and
Russian combat aircraft. This alone
makes it a must see for anyone
who visits Russia and considers
him/herself an avid aviation geek.
The collection gathered outside of
the Museum features prototypes of
almost all Sukhoi and Mikoyan de-
signs. The exhibits include MiG-29
prototype, Tu-4 - Soviet-made B-29
copy, Su-7 tailored for ice-runway
operations or Sukhoi T-4 - the Sovi-
et response to the US-made XB-70
bomber. The latter aircraft is made
from titanium, in its entirety. Right
beside it one can find the Miashish-
chev M-50 - a mighty bomber. And
this is just the tip of the iceberg
- get acquainted with the pictures
here to learn more.
Sukhoi T-4 - one of the gems of the Monino exhibition. This strategic bomber, made from titanium in its
entirety, was conceptually fairly similar to the US XB-70 Valkyrie.
A surprise that no one would expect to see in Monino. B-25 Mitchell provided to the Soviets via the lend-
-lease program.
Il-76 "Candid".
