Modern Russian Army in the photos.

Neat shot, especially in contrast to the smaller fuselage ("smaller", but not small) just in front it.

Wow. That AN-225 is a Beast.

This "Beast" exists in one copy. Very expensive to operate. Not cost effective.
Ukrainians have sold production documents to China recently.
Although yes, the plane is unique.
Russia is currently developing the heavy Elephant aircraft. Let's see what happens.

Happy Victory Day Over Fascism!

Although war is terrible, it is Good that pictures and film projectors captured the images of long ago.

Remember

Thanks USSR

The MiG25 and the MiG29 are my Favorite Russian Aircraft.

But now I also like the MiG31 and MiG35.

There is an old saying that has stuck with me for many years. And it is attributed to former Chief of Soviet Navy
Admiral Gorshkov; "Perfect is the enemy of good enough."

You can always improve a system, design.

Happy Victory Day Over Fascism!

The day in 1945 that Soviet troops and American troops met at the Elbe River, and cut Nazi Germany in half was a good day.

It spelled the end of the tyrant Adolph Hitler and the nightmare of his Nazi dream.

The world needs to watch for it and plans like it still, and crush them early.

Amen

Forget "history" and one is doomed to repeat it.......

One who does not remember his past is doomed to relive it again.
The words of the American philosopher, poet and essayist George Santayana (1863-1952).

 

[marchplumber]

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it" also said......"Only the dead have seen the end of war".......both extremely true statements

cucvmule, these newer aircraft are nice, but being that I'm a little long in the tooth, I still love the aircraft of my youth. The MIG 21 & the Vought F-8. These aircraft were the last of the gun fighters. The missiles were air to ground, and Air Combat was settled with 50 cal. machine guns, and 20mm cannons. Pilot against Pilot...…..no computers.
