Although  both aircraft share the same fuselage and  swing-wings the BAC Mystic uses the two stage nose layout and engines from the Concorde whereas the Boeing Mystery keeps the three stage cranked nose and G.E. engines as used on the prototypes.
They both don't have forward vision when the nose is in the upper setting after take off and relies on a set of monitors in the cockpit, with the pilot, co-pilot,  flight engineer and third pilot.
 Both aircraft have been fitted with fly-by-wire control surfaces and fibre optic cables, a two-three-two seating option for First Class or Business Class can be configured with reclining seats which make up a bed for the sleeper service.
Five of the BAC Mystics have been fitted for V.V.I.P.s, the Royal Air Force has converted three of the preproduction Mystics into in-flight refuelling tankers and France has signed an undisclosed contract.
Tupolev has also signed a contract for 50 airframes using Russian engines,  25 to be airliners and 25 bombers.

It is surprising a British BAC plane is sold for USSSR to... bomb UK?! ;D  :unsure:  ;)

Labour government, keeping the Red Flag flying. Besides the USSR had traded the Mystic order for one of their aircraft carriers in my whiiffing world. The USSR were under strict instructions not to bomb the UK and it's overseas territories. Further trade deals would include the 12 BAe Nimrod AEW.3s and Harrier GR.3s in return for the export versions of the Mil-24, Su-27 and Su-25.

As to the name, Mystic is believable as a DoD Black Program cover name.  ;)

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.
