Love the cannons - imagine the recoil effect. Fire them all at once & go backwards I would suspect.

A mate of mine was in Viet-nam, he said they attached some big gun to the helicopter that was in use. When they fired it the first time the helicopter stalled!

Bit of photoshop work there Ozzie, don't think it was real. The russians did have some big planes, one I think called "Il Gigante" ( The Giant ")I don't think it was that big though, the last three photos of the six-engined aircraft could be it...............................................................................................maj...

It did exist but not quite as in the images shown there. only seven engines not the twelve. give the cannons a miss as well. and just the one prototype existed. depends on what website you are on as to how big an aircraft it really.
