Military Olympics instead of war. Now that would be a wacky spin.

Russian helicopter Mi-26TView attachment 471171
That's a beefy chopper, USSR (looks like you can see the weight hanging off those rotors).

I apologize but my Cyrillic and Russian is near non-existent. All I know is "Tovaristch" (friend) and "Dvotchka" (woman): figured that these two would cover all my bases in a pinch (that's a baseball metaphor: "cover bases", by the way). Man: this could turn into a translation nightmare!).

Curious: what's the Horsepower (HP) of the Mi-26T? Horesepower: that's a universal measurement, isn't it? Hoping that "horsepower" translates into Russian OK. Do you know the power rating on that machine?

What a hoot! I was afraid this would happen.

I hope I can phrase this for you to understand easier.

And I apologize for being unclear, USSR, but what I meant was:

- How much working energy in the motor powering the rotors (how "big" is the motor; how "strong" is the helicopter)?

Ukraine is a very big country and Russian forces are only in Crimea, where they had bases anyway. They have secured and occupied Crimea, no where else. It is a political move, there will be no fighting.

Old saying, "Give an inch, take a mile." Still, one day at a time. Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
God bless,
