What's the 3GT container for ? I hope it's not short for 3 gigaton and that they planned to out tsar the tsar bomba ? 😅

0GT was the Buran spaceplane without tailplane and equipment, 1GT was the hydrogen tank of the Energia rocket, 2GT was the engine frame and front aerodynamic cover of Energia, and 3GT was the oxygen tank of the Energia. All configurations were equipped with aerodynamic covers to decrease the drag.

the 1GT is insane

It was capable of much more than that.

This plane is proof that aerodynamics are a lie.

I mean with enough thrust you can make anything fly, aerodynamics decides if it will do so efficiently or with the enthusiasm of a sloth.
