Well, yes these are questions not to Andrei Yurievich, but to ...... rephrase the phrase from FAMOUS FILM .... "his surname is very famous, what I would call it."

PS What is "highlighted" this is SPECIALLY for Mr. SMIRNOV .... who is the "owner of the site", well, and apparently not "friends with the classics" ("He kicked me a mustard plaster" for the phrase quoted the day before yesterday by Dovlatov or Pushkin's younger brother about .. "morning drinking .....)
Considered that this ... rudeness ?????

Good afternoon. As for the forest, not everything can be so sad. Here is a video on the topic:

Here's a video on the topic:

Professor Preobrazhensky spoke very well about the "film information from these" authors "(film" Heart of a Dog "

[Fedorov]

this is SPECIALLY for mister SMIRNOV .... who is the "site owner"

Vadik Smirnov is not exactly the owner of the site. Show respect .. even banned me more than once ... for mats and Jews.
There are laws of the site, I also buchtel earlier.

Well, yes ... if the phrase .. "we will soak them in the toilet", then this is possible, but ... "I haven't had a drink in the morning, the day is gone" ... this is "rudeness" ?????
Or do I not understand something?
Leo Pushkin, this is the younger brother of A.S. Pushkin wrote: "As for drunkenness, you need to start in the morning and not be distracted by anything else."
Is that ... the same "rudeness" or ... just ignorance?

No doubt..

[NN52]

I hope the Chinese will later tell everyone how the basic water tests went (for which, in principle, this project was muddied). It will be interesting to know ...
And are they in a hurry with commerce by the year 20, if the bulk of the tests have not even begun ...

[Non liberoid Russian]

Lord, what a boring you are ... in every topic the same whining, whining, whining ... even if they had changed the training manual, they got already pension, VAT, mythical China in Siberia ....

Tu-4 very much resembles B-29 (yes, they just ripped it off), Tu 160 looks like B-1, Su-57 looks like F-22, Spitfire, Mustang and Yak-1 on Messer Bf.109, La-5 at FW.190. Do you want the Chinese to roll out the flying saucer, or what? Stalin was not ashamed, Churchill and Truman were not ashamed to just rip or even use other people's designers. And already "enlarged copy" - forget, in aviation it is easier to count and make a new plane. And not a copy of this that I actually brought. It's just that someone is the first to "guess" the right direction. It's always like that.
The main thing the Chinese have is industry and personnel. And without this, the most ingenious designer is zero without a wand. It is one thing to mold a plane, and quite another to create aviation. This is only a country’s strength.

just add ..and GUIDANCE
Actually, the title in the article .. "clumsy" - Chinese "Jilong" passed flight tests, but in the text ... ".... now an aircraft ready for water testing, reports RIA Novosti a message from AVIC corporation. " and further ... ".... The date of the start of the tests on the water surface has not yet been announced."

Very informative

[Cook]

Hmm, that wing with engines entirely from the An-12, is it interesting inside the rubber tanks in the control system and the center wing? Ground tests are still half the battle; marine can still bring many surprises.
