Russian aircraft with a HUGE rocket fuel tank on its back

The Myasishchev VM-T Atlant (Russian: Мясищев ВМ-Т «Атлант», with the "VM-T" ("BM-T") standing for Vladimir Myasishchev -- Transport) was a variant of Myasishchev's M-4 Molot bomber (the "3M") used as a strategic-airlift airplane. The VM-T was modified to carry rocket boosters and the Soviet space shuttles of the Buran program. It is also known as the 3M-T.

The title is a little misleading. It should read: Russian aircraft with a HUGE rocket fuel tank on its back. It's not a huge tank of fuel.

Agree with BSR, the only vehicle that could get that tank off the ground fully loaded with fuel was the Buran + solid rocket motors.
