These Crazy Russian Bombers Could Launch Fighters from Their Wings

Yes, Soviet Russia Once Had a Flying Aircraft Carrier It was not as impressive as it sounds however. Key point: Bascially, the Soviets rigged up a bigger plane to carry a smaller plane into battle. Here is how they used it against Hitler. Since their debut of aerial warfare, air arms have struggled to find ways to extend the range of small, agile fighter aircraft optimized for speed and maneuverability rather than fuel capacity. In modern times, airliner-sized in-flight refueling tankers are a favored, though expensive, solution.
