This aircraft appears to fail
The best source I've found is Assaltatori ed aerei da attacco al suolo russi e sovietici. Progetti, prototipi ed aerei operativi, which is copied/translated in this potentially unreliable site used in the article currently. There is also an article by Piotr Butowski in Combat Aircraft from November 1999, although I can't verify that this website copied it accurately, and the aircraft appears to be on the cover of Unflown Wings: Soviet/Russian Unrealized Aircraft Projects 1925-2010.
There are also unreliable sources out there, like this fascinating 2006 thread on the Secret Projects forum and a article on LiveJournal from at least that long ago.
On the flip side, this aircraft plan is omitted from otherwise topical books like Soviet Aircraft Industry or Sukhoi Su-25 Frogfoot (which the T-12 nominally would have replaced).
In sum, this topic should be mentioned in places like

- It gets a mention in Buttler, Tony; Gordon, Yefim (2004). Soviet Secret Projects: Bombers Since 1945. Hinkley, UK: Midland Publishing. ISBN 1-85780-194-6., probably about a third to a half a page of text. That probably counts as one RS.Nigel Ish (talk) 16:38, 12 August 2022 (UTC)]
- Also a very, very brief mention (and a picture) in the 1999/2000 edition of Brassey's World Aircraft & Systems Directory, which speculates whether a mysterious "stealth ground attack aircraft" referred to by the C-in-C of the Russian Air Force as being under development, refers to the T-12.Nigel Ish (talk) 16:46, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

- The coverage in Buttler & Gordon could probably count as significant, the coverage in Brassey's isn't significant.Nigel Ish (talk) 20:40, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
- Respectfully, I don't think less than a page in a book counts there. :-) It certainly feels like it fails the "significant coverage is more than a trivial mention" notability criteria. [majestic titan] 20:21, 13 August 2022 (UTC)]

- I would support a merge with Twin-fuselage aircraft. I agree that depth of coverage isn't sufficient for a standalone article (at least not with the sources we know as of now), but some sourced information could probably find its way into this one. BilletsMauves€500 20:22, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
- If you were going to merge it somewhere - I would think that List of Sukhoi aircraft would be a suitable target.Nigel Ish (talk) 10:15, 3 September 2022 (UTC)
