thanks! hmm the name of the spy satellite reflect my feelings towards this kind of machines in general.. big brother is watching you...  <_<
Thanks Tophe! This plane is a kind of flying arsenal, intented to offer the maximum firepower against a huge fleet of bombers (such as 700 B-52s for example...).
Main caracteristics are firepower, range and ceiling rather than speed...
The plane was built in small number, and stay in service until the end of cold war. It was replaced by MiG-31, albeit it  lacked the range and firepower of the La-270...

I have to find a NATO name to my monster!!!

La-270 flapjack ? the plane is flat, it remind Blackjack and Backfire bombers, and the plane is as odd as the Vought F5U
