Check out the planes parked at the airport when you zoom out - very interesting Ruski metal.
What's the big boy with the very swept back wings, next to the bushes with a yellow truck in front of it?Edited by MartG on Monday 12th December 13:10

I'd go with a Blackjack rather than a Backfire
The Backfire's engines exhaust under the tail. The Blackjack's engines are under the wing (like the American B-1).
Tu26M Backfire -
Tu16 Blackjack
I was looking at the wrong one there are two swing wing aircraft on the main apron near the runway.The Backfire's engines exhaust under the tail. The Blackjack's engines are under the wing (like the American B-1).
Tu26M Backfire -
Tu16 Blackjack
In that case yes I'd agree its almost certainly a Blackjack.

Have a look at the LII aircraft testing facility in Zhukovsky.https://www.google.com/maps/@55.5708758,38.1548914...
Two TU-144s
