What's as big as a house, burns 20 liters of fuel every hour, puts out a shit-load of smoke and noise, and cuts an apple into three pieces? A Soviet machine made to cut apples into four pieces!

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By hhsmiley: I just discovered this youtube channel today. Sub Brief He was a former sonar man on a US sub apparently and he has more info than you'd probably ever want on Russian subs. Very interesting stuff if you're even mildly into that kind of thing. He's great. Lots of Cold War info there. He has a video where he breaks down an audio clip captured in the Bahamas (?) of an active sonar ping series. He narrows down the type and probably the boat, as well as some returns. Interesting clip. He also has one of hull collapse noise. Adds some dimension to the Clancy novels. |

Quote HistoryLed me to the Yak-141. My question now is was there another design that the Russians copied the nozzle design from, or did we get the F-35B's rotating nozzle idea from the Yak-141?  Yakovlev Yak-41M/Yak-141 Soviet supersonic VTOL fighter ETA Found the answer to my question about the nozzle. Should have know the Russian's didn't come up with it on their own. Convair Model 200  Attached Filehttps://www.codeonemagazine.com/f35_article.html?item_id=137 Russian Swivel Nozzle Designs A great deal of misinformation has appeared on the Internet regarding the relationship of the Soviet Yak-41 (later Yak-141), NATO reporting name Freestyle, to the X-35 and the rest of the JSF program. The Pratt & Whitney 3BSD nozzle design predates the Russian work. In fact the 3BSD was tested with a real engine almost twenty years before the first flight of the Yak..... ....The 3BSD was invented in America in the 1960s, proposed by Convair to the US Navy in the 1970s, first flown by the Russians in the late 1980s, re-engineered from the 1960 Pratt & Whitney design for the X-35 in the 1990s, and put into production for the F-35 in the 2000s |

Kolomensky Zavod When the railroad construction reached town of Kolomna in 1863 it was necessary to build new bridge above Oka river in order to continue further south. For such purpose the railway bridge construction factory was built near the river banks. It was also the very first one of this kind in whole Russia. Since 1895 the plant started production of steam locomotives and freight wagons. In 1903 the very first ship diesel engine was manufactured here and since the 30´s the production was expanded with motorized trams and electric locomotives. After a short period of military production for the War needs the plant switched back to railway industry and is still active within this sector nowadays.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Seven-Shooter: I have often wondered why amphibians are not more widely produced. This design seems neat, but what could Airbus or Embraer do with a similar concept? Or would it simply be priced too high, go buy another narrow-body, nothing to see here? Maintenance for things that slam onto the water and also can corrode is high. Plus the crew has to be qualified to operate a boat, as well as an airplane. Plus with an amphibian, you still ahve to maintain the landing gear. Unless the abililty to operate on water is desperately needed, an amphibian is the worst of both worlds. |

It's huge, Google Maps Link Neat stuff. Scary looking forge presses with those huge flywheel gears I was looking for it on Bing maps. Lots of other mills built in the area. It was all out of range of nazi bombers in WWII past the urals so their steel and heavy manufacturing was safe there. North of there is Verkhnaya Salda - that’s the town where their big titanium mill is. They have their own YouTube channel. I imaging it’s like the stuff that would’ve been played on Soviet era TV. It looks like they have done a lot of upgrades to the mill in the last 10-20 years Guys I knew who visited that plant in the 1990s told me they still used horse to pull carts in the mill for plates and bars back when they visited. |

Even decent two lane gravel roads would improve their economy. Much of the country is a swamp, and so the roads would have to be built up heavily & probably would still sink quickly. They also don’t have access to good limestone gravel, which is a reason why Russian concrete has such a poor reputation. But mainly, they don’t have any money to build such things. |
