Comrades!  I am now a little bit better, and thus let me explain my project.

Lavochkin OKB has taken up the development of a naval torpedo bomber using a modified Il-2T, the famed land-based torpedo plane extrapolated from the Il-2 Surmovik.  

Modifications include a stronger engine, metal wings with folding apparatus.  Landing gear is strong enough, but a hook will be needed.  Also, a radar might be of use.  

I'll keep you posted.
