These 5 Cancelled Soviet Superweapons Would Have Been Insane

These 5 Cancelled Soviet Superweapons Would Have Been Insane No single weapon could have saved the Soviet Union, but several might have shifted the contours of its collapse. Here s What You Need to Remember: Had the USSR pursued the T-4, it would have had to give up on large portion of its tactical air fleet. However, it would also have had a high-level, supersonic bomber designed (in part) to deliver anti-ship missiles. This would have complicated the defense of US carrier groups even more than the arrival of the Tu-22M, a smaller, shorter ranged bomber. For nearly seven decades, the defense-industrial complex of the Soviet Union went toe-to-toe with the best firms that the West had to offer. In some cases, it surprised the West with cheap, innovative, effective systems. In others, it could barely manage to put together aircraft that could remain in the air, and ships that could stay at sea.

Cold War Crazy: Meet Some of the Weirder Soviet Super Weapons

These five systems were impressive looking, but they did not always make sense. Key point: America and the USSR spent an insane amount of money to compete in an arms race. Here are some of the creations that military companies offered up to defend Mother Russia.

Russia Built a Mach 3 Super Bomber (Almost)

It was meant to wipe out the U.S. Navy. Check out all of Moscow s military dreams.  Here s What You Need to Remember: Many of the Soviet bombers of the post-war era were direct analogues to US types.  The Tu-4, in fact, was a direct copy of captured American B-29s. The Sukhoi T-4 was the USSR’s answer to the B-70 Valkyrie.  A massive, incredibly fast bomber capable of high altitude flight, the T-4 tested (and in many ways exceeded), the limits of the Soviet Union’s defense industry. Designed to hit Mach 3, with a service ceiling of around 70,000’, the T-4 resembled the B-70 visually, and in capability.  However, because the organization of airpower in the Soviet Union differed from that of the United States, T-4s were also considered for tactical missions, such as reconnaissance and the delivery of anti-ship missiles.  The idea of a T-4 carrying Kh-22 anti-ship missiles is very scary indeed.
