of russian flying fortresses

Russian Flying Fortresses: Russian history lovers have reconstructed a huge Russian plane based on plans left in once to top-secret Russian army archives.
In 1930s Russian army was … by the idea of creating huge planes. At that times they were proposed to have as much propellers as possible to help carrying those huge flying fortresses into the air, jet propulsion has not been implemented at those times yet.

Not much photos were saved since that times, because of the high secrecy levels of such projects and because a lot of time passed already. Still on the photo below you can see one of such planes - a heavy bomber K-7.
