@deepfriedfrenchtoast cool! I’ve heard of Uragan from a Matt Lowne KSP video, but i haven’t heard of the others. Thanks :)

@Fyrem0th There were a few proposed variants, and yes the vulkan was one of them. There was the Energia-M which was a down sized version with only two boosters that aimed to replace the Proton rocket. There was also The Uragan, also known as the Energia-II, which was a fully reusable launch vehicle. Also thanks man.

@deepfriedfrenchtoast was this a seriously proposed rocket? I’ve done a lot of research on aerospace, especially the US and Soviet programmes because they intrigue me the most, but i’ve never seen anything like this. Whether it was gonna be real or not, you’ve made something amazing! Take my upvote <3

@SCF01STS202Vanguard something to top pretty much every rocket ever.

@Periodic its only similar in terms of looks, it like you gave the Energia rocket 4 more boosters and gave it a beefy hydrogen upper stage.

@LeMagicBaguette the current name is Вулкан, which translates to volcano. Sounds cool.
