More about the book
The book explores the development and operational history of the M-4 "Bison," a high-speed strategic bomber created by the Myasishchev design bureau in response to NATO threats. Notable for its innovative design features, including a bicycle landing gear and powerful jet engines, the Bison served as a crucial nuclear deterrent for 40 years. The narrative also covers the evolution of its variants, particularly the 3M, which was adapted for space transport as the VM-T Atlant. The text highlights both the challenges faced and the bomber's significant impact during its service.
