Trucked away under camouflage nets, it was quickly made flightworthy. Israeli pilots who have flown it find that the Sukhoi reaches a Mach 1.6 speed, climbs at the rate of 23,500 ft. per min. and can carry 3.5 tons of ordnance...

With a crew of four, it would carry a payload twice that of the B-52 and, with mid-air refueling, would have a range of more than 6,000 miles...
