    This is one I had not seen before.

    A bit of me is suspicious, but I also can believe it since the tanks were fairly light. The drag has got to be the biggest issue.

    Gotta say the Russkies could be ballsy at times1

    I've seen this before, so it's legit. And that's just the LH2 tank.
    The LOX tank traveled in the same way. More pics on Encyclopedia
    Astronautica.

    "the perennial claim that hypersonic airbreathing propulsion would
    magically make space launch cheaper is nonsense -- LOX is much cheaper
    than advanced airbreathing engines, and so are the tanks to put it in
    and the extra thrust to carry it." - Henry Spencer
