This is the Antonov A-40 Krylya Tanka. It was an experimental Soviet project that involved strapping biplane wings and a tail to a small tank. The contraption would be towed into the air by airplane, then dropped to glide onto a battlefield. The idea was the tanks could re-supply Soviet ground troops who had lost their tanks or who needed additional support. The Antonov A-40 Krylya Tanka was tested in 1942 but (unsurprisingly) found to be unworkable.
