Great pic...i thought I knew former Soviet aircraft, but didn’t recognize the larger aircraft at the bottom. The forward fuselage reminds me of a U2 cockpit. For anyone who cares...Did some research and turns out, it’s a “Myasishchev M17 Stratosphera”. A twin boom, high altitude interceptor developed to intercept American reconnaissance balloons and U2s in the late 1950s. There’s a version (M55) that’s still being flown by the Russians today for high altitude research (and reconnaissance). Thanks for teaching me something new!
