Frankly, you are a certified asshole.

Right on the target, spot on, can’t be more precise !

Such reckless behavior would not be allowed in NATO. :)

The Russian pilots are just showing off their superior skills in very adverse weather conditions :)

Its all ok though, as NATO are about to showcase a virtual reality flight of 60 transport aircraft, together with 60 US F35 aircraft taking off in indian file and the weather changes from snow, monsoon and lightning during the flight of NATO video.

Health and Safety is paramount in NATO and no apology for that is necessary :), said an unknown 18 year old source a within ‘ 77 Brigade.’

Is that what the eu hor who thinks is joan of ark to king of denmark said in portugal? Arghh burn the frgn winch!

No one can match the durability and reliability of Russian aviation. These are some very good heavy lifters.

Indeed. Albeit some ukropnazis will claim this to be Ukrainian tech… Its not. Oleg Antonov was ethnic Russian, so was and still are most the engineers working for the company. Kruschev moved the company from Russia to Ukraine in the 50s so ukrops have something else than potatoe fields. Its the best heavy lifter ever designed. Hurra.

And that plane was designed by Viktor Tolmachev born in Russia.. beside avionics ( except engines) are made in Russia…you can see that cockpit is the same that IL 86.

It is understandable that if the Ukropnazis might claim this. As I wrote earlier, there is actually no such thing as a real nation called “Ukrainian”. A Polish, Lithuanian, Khazar, Russian mixed ethnic group with Belarusian, Serbian, Polish, Russian mixed language in a country whose territory was born on the Soviet design table in 1922. With virtually zero unique historical backgrounds, it is only their fake nationalism and aggressive nonsense that holds this mixed ethnic group together today. You can say practically nothing that is called the so-called “Ukrainian” national character except for smuggled cigarettes and aggressive and low-intelligence guest workers across Europe. So since they have virtually nothing to be proud of in the past and now, they envy others, usually Russian products and attitudes. This can also be seen here in some stupid and enviable comments. ;) And oh, what’s going on with them lately – they’re electing sucking one Jewish politician cock after another … well, they’re very skillful at this.

These were made in ukraine, Russia today is not able to produce such planes. Most of large plane production eas in ukraine. therefore the russian plane programs are creeped.

“ELEPHANT WALK”really makes sense as an expression with the “flying elephant” of the aviation like An-124″Ruslan”

SnowCatzor

Man that’s an austere airfield, it’s remarkable that their aircraft can operate after sitting in such conditions. I wonder if any special preparations are required to get the engines going from a cold-start like that?

Elephant walk is for yankee planes. Riskoes may have bear galop.

These machines do not mean any ganger. b-52s do.
