No wonder
Project was secret (as all Soviet projects). And, when wasn't secret was abandoned because lack of money.
It was re-builded Myasishchev 3M bomber (3 planes).
Photos and drawing with various cargo from few russian books.

External fuel tanks you say? It would have been a million Fourth of Julys in ten seconds if the tank exploded!

I know that the An-225 replaced it. I just wish I could get pictures of the second An-225 being build, but I can not seem to get any pictures of it.
