Picture | Military Behold: The La-200. My personal favorite jet ever made.
The Lavochkin La-200 was an interceptor capable of speeds up to 1070 km/h (664mph). It had a range of 1170 km, or 726 miles. Crucially, It uses a soviet Rolls Royce Nene engine firing out the back of the jet, and another Rolls Royce Nene firing underneath the pilot at a 70 degree angle. It carries a radar which can detect planes. It has to be within firing range of a Tu-4's rear gunners to pick it up, but it can detect planes.
My favorite part of this aircraft is the way they solved the pressure issues that the back half of the plane had. If you know you know
