Myasishchev VM-T Atlant 3M-T Strategic Space-Transport Aircraft Family
The Myasishchev VM-T Atlant, originally designated 3M-T, was a heavily modified 3M strategic-bomber airframe converted into a strategic space-transport aircraft. Its enlarged external-load arrangement and distinctive tail changes enabled carriage of oversized Energia launch-vehicle and Buran shuttle hardware, giving it a mission and configuration boundary distinct from the underlying bomber family.
