What's This Old Soviet Concept Plane?

What's this Red Star machine? Never seen that concept before!

Anybody know anything about that?

I'd say it's either a MiG or a Sukhoi. A four-turbojet (or turbofan?) supersonic interceptor, a tailless delta-winger with canard foreplanes and a movable nose to allow a better view of runways, like the Concorde had.

Guess that Russkie skunkworks experiment was a spectacular failure, an embarrassment.
