obviously more than one was built. I was unable to find a quick answer, but they built 4 of the 2B3 Kondensator, so 2-4 is a good educated guess. I would say at the minimum...2

Hello Jacques,

Hmmm, makes sense, but the 2A3 doesn't have the "dog house" on the back left side. Plus 406mm vs. 460mm, so who knows.

Thanks for the reply. If nobody founds something else, please post.

See ya in the funnies............

According to the related Russian Wikipedia article, 4 prototypes were built and presented during the 1957 military parade in Moscow...
