Positive video, men have fun.

Thanks for the awesome video!

Yes, and a car with another pilot is surely driving from behind, who, with his instructions, helps to land his comrade ... That's how much time has passed, well, haven't you really found technical solutions to install additional landing gears at the ends of the wings ... you look and you would have saved the equipment more.

[Cypress]

What is this glider with two landing gears ?? Judging by how the landings are carried out, we can conclude that IT is one-time ..

[Pimply]

Would at least read something about this unique typewriter

No, this is a satellite dish for transmitting intelligence information online. The same stands on the Global Hump in the hump.

[xenod55]

One such was "landed" in the Urals in 1961. And it is not necessary to shoot down these, they themselves stick into the strip.

With difficulty they shot down their own and for one, and they shot down only due to the technical problem of the U-2 as a result of which he lost height and became accessible for air defense ...

Due to the shape of the contours and the coating, this chisel is not so easy to get into. Well, if you get better then in the midship area.

[leon-iv]

well and good, the path will be 1 chisel than 2-3 arly berk.

Professor and this unit will go into the Black Sea to maintain dermocracy in an independent?

[Professor]

The Black Sea is a large puddle through and through from all sides. Nato, and without going into it, controls everything. There is nothing for him to look for there.

First of all, now it concerns NATO itself, and given the violation of the Montreux convention and the presence of an unsinkable aircraft carrier in the World Cup with the working name Crimea-Tavrida, it is not very difficult to do this technically and politically, and without declaring war on countries whose ships violated the convention. Considering the above, I am in the deepest bewilderment of what the ships of the great valiant American Navy are doing in this "puddle"? The only logical explanation is that they are begging for 3,14 zd. I really hope that we will have enough political courage and determination in the event of another violation of a preconditioned convention to send a couple of troughs to the bottom strictly for ecological purposes (so as not to irritate the "greens") to improve the living conditions of marine fauna as artificial reefs, and the biological contents of the troughs as readily available food ...

Yeah, start the third world ...

As for the Black Sea, the presence or absence of Crimea does not change anything. The size of the Black Sea does not change from this.

[velikoros-xnumx]

Quote: professor

Let there be a professor - Powers was shot down, a couple of Korean Boeings have the same story and nothing. Once again, I emphasize that in case of violation by the courts of non-Black Sea states of the terms of the Montreux Convention, the Black Sea states after the warning (as the Russian Foreign Ministry has already done) and if there is a threat to their own security (we will be honest and frank, there is one) have the right to sink violating vessels without declaring war. With this development of events, we will be strictly within the framework of international law and international treaties (although international law has long been dismantled with the filing of the United States and Israel and some other participants in it), but nonetheless we will be legally clean, so I doubt that the United States will go to this situation for any serious military operations. How many incidents in the world with the downing of aircraft of violators, the sinking of ships of violators in case of their refusal to follow the instructions of the relevant services? I do not remember that they led to the declaration of war.

[Professor]

Quote: velikoros-xnumx

Not a serious conversation. They will sink the NATO destroyer and the Bosphorus will be forever closed to Russia (here the Volga-Don is useful ), and it’s still not known who Kuzyu will drown or he’s not a buy god accidentally runs into an old mine in the North Sea.

Quote: velikoros-xnumx

under international law and international treaties

Do not make me laugh like that. There is no longer such a thing as "within the framework of international law and international treaties." Green men have abolished such concepts.

Quote: velikoros-xnumx

I do not remember that they led to the declaration of war.

Drown the NATO destroyer and someone will start sinking your ships, without declaring war ...


And therefore, this is not serious.

[velikoros-xnumx]

Quote: professor

Green men have canceled such concepts.

international law was dismantled long before these events, I emphasize once again that the main dismantlers of the United States and your compatriots.
"Let the first one who is sinless to throw a stone" - I hope you are familiar with the saying, but in simple Russian:
- "whose cow would bellow, and yours would be silent"
- "we see a straw in someone else's eye, but we don't notice a log in our own." You can continue endlessly, but in your case it is pointless - you always consider your position to be impeccable. And the fact that "Kuzyu" and others will be more difficult and no right here will be an excuse. By the way, the Kursk was drowned and the Third World War did not happen.

Israel has not violated a single treaty it has signed. such is the harsh truth of life.

The surface to be corrected must have a control surface / flap. There are none on this one.

Bullshit!!!!!! Russian submariners, OUR submariners, are doing such things that the Yankees did not even dream of. By the way, the Yankees are forbidden to dive, or to pass under the thickness of ice, as they say without knowing the ford, and OURS, if pressed, will enter any abyss, on this we live.

I do not understand at all why our media are not engaged in the popularization of our military equipment? For me, the Su-35 is many times more beautiful than the Raptor, and a photo of a "flying" tank should simply be replicated every time it comes to modern armored vehicles!

To do this, you need to make a large channel from Turkey in order to pass no longer seen.

[52]

Yes, of course it will come in! After all, it resembles a spoiled "Aurora", it appears it will come in to support the spoiled "ryvolyutsyi". We stock up on tea and bagels, wait, watch ...

[oreh72]

After photo No. 1, it became sad - the Americans have no rarities whatsoever, and we have practically no flying samples of aircraft from past years. What is found and restored is also sold over the hill in private collections. And how nice it would be to see on May 9 a box of IL-2 flying around on Red Square surrounded by I-16, YAKs or LA !!!

It is enough to see OUR flights at aviation exhibitions, just SUPER HIGHER PILOT !!! !!! And this says a lot about the state of the art. And this applies to all arms exhibitions, where the Russian Federation takes part. And about the Su-35-AGREE !!!

indeed how beautiful it would be to see on May 9 in the sky yak3 il2 and-16 tu2 il4 la5 so
