Alias, in design bureau terms, La-126PVRD, based on the La-7 "FIN" with two
Vozdushnoreaktivny Dvigatel-430 ramjets.

That looks almost like a FW190. Who has copied from who?

I do not think much copying went on at all, since the Lavochkin went into the
air in 1942. Form will follow function, and that is what I think is what
obtains in this case.

Yes, on that photo it does not look that similar. Thanks for comments.
