<p>c/n M-17-4
NATO codename:- Mystic-A
This is the third prototype of the M-17 high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft and first flew in 1985. It set a class altitude record of 71,620ft on 28th March 1990. It later carried out test flights for the twin-engined M-55 development.
The damaged airframe has been stored at Monino since 1995 but has never been reassembled and is now rapidly becoming overgrown in a far corner of the site.
Monino, Moscow Oblast, Russia.
