    If you are wondering why this looks so familiar, it’s because it’s a bolt-for-bolt copy of the B-29.

    The Soviets got their hands on a few B-29s that conducted emergency landings in their territory after the planes finished operating over Japan.

      Yeah, we all know that soviets were not able to invent anything and copied everything from US. Now, that the US isn't producing anything, they really have a hard time coming with new products. /s
