Dysonsphere Guess they kept the jigs unlike our muppets who order them destroyed asap
Indeed. It seems the work and workers at several aircraft plants in Russia and the Ukriane just whitehered away when the money ran out, leaving all sorts jigs and partially completed airframes on the assembly lines. I recall one partuially completed Blackjack was resurected around 2000 after sitting partially built for over a decade. IIRC somthing similair with the Su-25 with a few being built with parts from the leftovers bin. An-70 also.
