   This will, of course, never happen. Ambitious autism projects like this are the capstone of an orderly, safe, functional nation. It's a huge cost outlay for a very vulnerable asset that only really matters to niche weirdos around the world. The russians only funded it to keep up the space kayfabe, and there aren't that many missions that need crap like this.

   Look at the manifests for the airbus guppy fleet and it's pointless 1-off pieces like "Vintage chimney shipped intact", or "world's largest Qing-dynasty LGBT mural", it's a novelty more than it is a strategic airlifter.

   And it looks like this unfinished aircraft got blown up by artillery in 2022, anyways, so it's gone too. Something so squatter about inheriting a half-finished airframe that your grandpa worked on in 1987, spending 40 years telling everybody "awww yeah any day now we'll get to work and finish it"
