Burya ("Storm" in Russian) A trisonic, intercontintal cruise missle desinged by the Lavochkin Design burue, for a comptetion decreed by the Soviet government in 1954. The purpose of the comptetion was to develope a cruise missle capable of delivering a nuclear payload to the united states. Burya was planned as a proving-ground for high speed technologies, which Lavochkin hoped to develope into a full-fledged spaceplane. The Burya was remakably advanced for its time, and dispite setbacks and several crashed, was finally brought to completion, only to be canceled in 1961. Burya had a two stage design. Lavochkin is: a Soviet aircraft design bureau (design office prefix La), now extinct, named for its head designer, Semyon Lavochkin; a generic name for airplanes designed by that bureau (see Semyon Lavochkin for list). ...
