I'm guessing the enthusiasts that you're talking about are Russians, is that correct?

I tell you what, if that Burlak were street legal I guarantee there would be a market for them here in the U.S.

It's like an all-terrain Winnebago, on steroids!

The armoring is impressive. Putting a subject in the cockpit during the testing (even WITH a helmet), makes you wonder a little. But who knows?

If I remember right that was a big feature of the fight-bomber that the Soviet Union fielded in WWII, it also was armored. I'd have to look up the actual aircraft.

Here it is, the Ilyusihn.

Called "The Flying Tank"; a kind of a precursor of the U.S. A-10 Warthog.

I had no idea though that it was the single-most produced aircraft in the history of aviation. Amazing:
