15 May 1942. First Flight of the Bereznyak-Isayev BI-1. Soviet short-range rocket-powered aircraft. It reached 2,760 ft altitude and a maximum speed of 250 mph. Fueled by nitric acid and kerosene.

I really hope that BI about T T isn’t true bc I ride at dawn for Riri and, both, Chris Brown (and P Diddy) can kiss my ass 6 ways from Sunday but either way since I saw Sing song blue I fell in love with Kate Hudson’s unfuckingbelievable performance and I have been rooting for her ever since, even though if she gets the nom, she’ll be the underdog of that category (lead). But sill, a girl can dream 🤞
The Bereznyak-Isayev BI-1 was an attempt at a rocket intercepter by the Soviet Union. First flown on May 15th, 1942, it never saw service - only 9 prototypes were built - but was quite useful for Soviet designers looking to gain experience with rocket and jet aircraft.
