For a group of designers that generally love simplicity, the Soviets/Russians sure do like those conta-rotating props/turboprops. I know they are a bit more efficient, and solve handling issues, but the twin tail on that beast should address the handling itself easily. Surely the efficiency gains must be mostly offset by the weight penalty and maintenance complexity.

Noisy too. Worst NATO reporting name since MiG-15 Fagot.

From 1975? I think the twin tails were for control while flying with an external dorsal cargo, like the Buran or a drone.
Nothing says Soviet era like a glazed bombardier nose. What, no tail gun?
The weirdest part was the Russian nickname Antaeus. In ancient Greek myth this champion wrestler beat and killed all opponents so long as he touched his mother earth at all times...until a hero lifted him from earth. So the Antey should be an unbeatable plane so long as it never leaves the ground. The plane is better than its Russian or NATO names.
