Mourn
God send a decent change. We wait.

[Dam]

The galaxy of great Soviet industrial designers is leaving. Who will replace them? Hey?

[cniza]

Thanks for the work, eternal memory and gratitude of posterity.

[Samurai3X]

Examination will change, do not worry. Or do you think that he personally makes the engines for the new Sukhoi?
Great loss, but there is a replacement.
Moreover, we still have the Salyut design bureau if Saturn fails. Although I think it will do just fine.

[Dam]

God grant that it would happen

[Number 17]

Not a galaxy. Alas, the era of the genealogical and sought-after people of their time is leaving. Those whose work glorified our Motherland and made us reckon with our military-industrial complex.

[Grandson of Veteran]

The Kingdom of heaven! He lived and worked for the good of the motherland ....

[siberalt]

Eternal memory and rest in peace!

[inkass_98]

The era is leaving, and there are very few left who created Soviet military power.

[resh]

Unfortunately, titans of thought are leaving us, thanks to which our weapons are the best. Eternal memory to him.

[Vladimirets]

Bright memory. Still, the article rating should be removed.

So do I.

I'm trying to understand why each other has advantages? In general, we went with our brains. Respect and expression of condolences is a manifestation of an attitude towards a person. But what have the "pluses" to do with it? And then you need to understand that the person has made a significant contribution to the development of aviation. BUT! the process has not stopped and new solutions must be sought. If someone thinks that the existing engines are the height of perfection, then this is a misconception. The same revolutionary processes are coming.

The earth rest in peace to the newly-represented Victor. Our Homeland is holding onto such People. Condolences to all relatives and friends.

[Dr. Sorge]

His projects live for centuries and future generations.

The 31st is a thing, I tell you, comrades. Impressive with power. TU-154 on the runway jumps when such a product takes off.

[General Frost]

Eternal memory to the true blacksmith SHIELD of our Motherland. I believe that Viktor Mikhailovich managed to prepare a worthy shift of the successors of his work.

100% smog. This is not "daddy can" for you.

[Oskar1965]

The bright memory of a man of great engineering intelligence and selfless work for the good of our country.

[staryivoin]

Earth rest in peace and eternal memory, though Mig-31 is a very powerful memory. One hope is that a person was preparing a strong shift ...

[Mercenary]

Who puts the article (+), rejoice or something?
Condolences to family and friends. It is especially painful when talented people leave for our Motherland!

[beard64]

...
- and minus ... ???
.....
- like mourn .. ???
/ but seriously - it's a pity when such people leave /

[ohtandur]

in my case + I put emphasizing the significance of the event and its importance. Plus, the article does not mean joy, but respect for the journalists who brought this bitter news. And minus the article, in my understanding, means ignoring the event, emphasizing its insignificance and unnecessary publication. But the attitude to the Man himself can be written in the comments - for this they were created on the forum.

[Next]

Very sorry. Condolences to his loved ones. Unfortunately, dvigatelists are worth their weight in gold. And in general there is a question about the presence of a "long bench" for designers in the defense industry, tk. If I think correctly, the bulk of the designers are people who are well over 60, or even 70, unfortunately. If I'm wrong, I'll be glad.

[alauda1038]

Bright memory

God grant if there are sensible followers. Must not be all for money sold.

Geniuses do not die, they live in successors ...
The Ufa Engine-Building Production Association (UMPO) demonstrated the 117C engine for the domestic multifunctional Su-35S fighter.
Everlasting memory...

KB will certainly cope with the tasks. Great honor and respect to the person, giving us the opportunity to write reviews HERE. ON SUCH RUSSIA KEEP. Honor him and eternal memory.

[WERSTA.]

Talented and intelligent techies are leaving ... And another bright mind left our aviation .... Eternal memory to him.

[midshipman]

You rest in peace and blessed memory. For this aircraft, under my leadership, there were created: a multifunctional AFS, guidance system, a system for semi-autonomous actions, short-range radio navigation and instrumental landing equipment, and secondary radar equipment. I have the honor.

The kingdom of heaven to him, the eternal glory and memory of the living.

We are all mortal, but we leave a different mark after ourselves. This man left a worthy mark. For many years, beautiful interceptors will guard the peace of the motherland. Thank you Victor Mikhailovich! You rest in peace ...

[Yuri from Volgograd]

The kingdom of heaven and eternal memory.

Everlasting memory.

It is unfortunate that communication with the creator of the aircraft engine does not work out. After all, only he could be given and justified the new principles of operation of the aircraft engine.

[michajlo]

Greetings to all members of the forum!

let the old cohort of SOVIET ENGINEERS, SCIENTISTS and MILITARY leave us, I am creating the power and basis of conscience weapons. And Alas, Russian weapons are mainly based on the DEVELOPERS of the USSR. Digitization (digitalization) of the processes of designing and controlling combat vehicles is only an external effect.
But the main ones are brilliant ideas, technological studies of the manufacture and operation of military equipment.
In the former republics, military production and design, apart from Russia, practically "died".

But in Russia, there are also very big questions in the defense industry, especially in terms of personnel.
Who will replace the departing and over the past 25 years already deceased designers, technologists, production organizers?

I have no hope for "new effective manaKherov", in the Stalinist times, the current "managers, optimizers and businessmen" were directly called pests and punished severely!

Today, at the suggestion of the top leadership of the Russian Federation, they "optimize" military science, development and production.
About the natural results, we will all hear and see in 5-10 years.

And the undertakers of Soviet education and science, the defenders of the "modern USE" continue to work in the Government, the Kremlin and various Glavkas ...

But the hour of enlightenment is inevitably drawing near, and who will be GENERALLY responsible for the collapse of the education and science of Russia, the successor of the Soviet system?

The fame and popularity of the "current Guarantor" - alas, then will not be enough!

And sabotage in this area has continued for the last 15 years, when "he runs the country", or "he is run by the greedy and greedy oliHarchs for state money."

I join in sincere condolences from the members of the forum, to all the relatives and friends of the late Engineer, Designer and Scientist, State husband!

Michael. Smolensk

[atamankko]

Everlasting memory. Condolences to the family.

[NordUral]

Many thanks to this man! The enviable fate of a techie and just a person.

[proud]

Lord What year? What kind of people leave us? And who will replace them? It’s hard for the soul - God sees people like you, Viktor Mikhailovich, we will really miss!

[eleronn]

And how many knows what engine stands on the MiG-31? And how does it differ from the D-30KP engine? Most commentators have no idea what they are talking about! The main thing is to shove burning candles into avatars. Adherents ...

[tolmachiev51]

Eternal memory and earth rest in peace !!!! When such people leave, they worry anxiously about changing, we hope that the Russian land was famous for Great Minds and will be famous.

[exumer]

Rest in peace! Thank you very much!

[AKsvlad047]

This leaves a whole school of Soviet engine building !!! Big loss for the country and young professionals !!! Did everyone manage to adopt everything, learn to think globally !!!

[magician]

Everlasting memory! Remember, mourn!
