Before such a landing, the navigator's canopy is dropped so that if the plane rolls over, the crew can get out through it.
Because it is not possible to open it in an inverted position, and the standard exit is blocked by the front landing gear.

Maximum take-off weight — 39 500 kg, maximum speed at altitude — 1.45 Mach, maximum combat load weight — 8 500 kg, practical ceiling — 15 000 m, number of suspension points — 12.
