That's the Me-163S trainer glider, captured by the Russians. Here's a description (https://plane-encyclopedia.com/ww2/messerschmitt-me-163s-habicht/)

If a safer, yet still effective fuel combination could be arrived at, a ship launched variation could be interesting.

It couldn't be that difficult to design a boat hull onto it and some wing tip floats for it.

Rail launch it and recover it by crane.

Just trying to think what sort of fuel combo would give it the required ooomph for launch, yet still be relatively safe to have on a ship.
