For you number crunchers out there, I just found a source (Soviet X-Planes: Yefim Gordon and Bill Gunston) that puts the wing and canard area at 120 sq meters. I have not found another source with even an estimate of the wing area.
Coupled with a 26,997 kg normal loaded weight, this give a wing loading of 225 kg/ sq m and a thrust to weight of 14.53 N / kg.
Not bad!
