The wings on these have quite a lot of sweep compared to western designs
The sweep on the 134 was 35°, same as the B707, compared to B727 32° and B747 37.5°
High amounts of sweep tends to produce a dihedral effect, so the designed in anhedral is there probably to counter act this
Wonder why the difference in the Tu and Boeing.
