Wow! Really great photos! I love Russian aviation design, if I'm ever over there for whatever reason this looks like the place to visit :)

Just did some searching the Ekranoplane is at one of the old Naval bases (forgotten where), interestingly the info provided said that Bereiv was developing one that will be used for carrying cargo across water will be four times heavier and ant two and a half times bigger than the AN-225.... Anyway back too subject again good photos...

That would depend on the Ekranoplan in question, the sole Lun class is sitting somewhere in a dock in Kaspiysk in the Caspian Sea. It looks like there is only one A-90 Orlyonok left, docked next to a Tango Class submarine in Moscow.

Love that Il-62; ostensibly a civilian airplane, adorned with Aeroflot titles, that SHF satcom antenna at the base of the tail betrays its identity as a government/VIP transport.

Also, next to the Tu-22 Blinder, there's a jet with bort number Yellow 33 and an AS-4 Kitchen missile under its wing. If I didn't know any better, I'd say that's the Tu-22M Backfire prototype. Anyone able to identify it?

Monino is home to many prototypes. The Tu-22M is the Backfire A model. I think it is the prototype. Also, the Tu-95N is the sole prototype built to carry a parasitic strike aircraft.

Was thinking of the Lun class James, thanks for that info

Wow, so it is a Backfire. Quite a radical redesign then, to get to the final production version!

Sorry I completely forgot about it, there is actually an Ekranoplane there but I didn't get a photo of it. It's the Beriev VVA-14.

The wiki page has a photo of it at Monino: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bartini_Beriev_VVA-14
