Soviet Airborne Vehicles.

Hello everybody,

After reading an article about Soviet-Russian GPW (WWII) airborne operations I was wondering what kind of airborne equipment was used and developed for them.
I know that they used the Tupolev TB-3 (G-2) and later the Lisunov Li-2 aircraft as a troop carrier. Also gliders were developed like the Antonov A-7.
But what I like to know is did the Russians also developed special airborne vehicles during the war? Maybe they also developed collapsible motorcycles like the British and the US airborne forces?
