Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Conner378: Russia is just a big redneck garage of war and I love it  Antonov A-40 The Antonov A-40 Krylya Tanka (Russian: крылья танка, meaning "tank wings") was a Soviet attempt to allow a tank to glide onto a battlefield after being towed aloft by an airplane, to support airborne forces or partisans.[1] A prototype was built and tested in 1942, but was found to be unworkable. This vehicle is sometimes called the A-40T or KT. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/448813/a40_jpg-1548831.JPG That's a pretty good summary of my fascination with it. It's like hillbillies and no ATF with a lot of vodka.  Occasionally a true gem is sharted. I think innovation in a lot of areas is suppressed here now. |

This guys channel popped up on my recommended videos a couple of weeks ago. Unlike the Kalashnikov channel where they portray themselves as employees of the company this guy portrays himself like an amalgamation of FPS Russia, Demolition Matt, and Carnkik Con. Can a regular person get access to this kind of weaponry or is something up?
Heavy machine gun, RPGs, more RPGs, and an anti tank mine(?).  ????????? ??????? ??????????? ????????? / Destroying the Bus with Rockets The guy included direct links to each new weapon used if you watch on YouTube for the next two videos. Grenades, anti personnel mines and vehicle mines.  ??????? ?????? ????????? Mines, mines, and more mines.  ????? ?????? 7 ??????? ??????/Exploding the car with 7 different mines |

I have a Russian Ural motorcycle w/ sidecar. It's two wheel drive and painted up in a woodland camo scheme.
It looks like an old BMW because they basically were. Part of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was a trade in technology. The Germans had better versions so they sent much of the tooling to the Soviets. Mine looks exactly like this one:  Edit: pic link screwed up |

Here's something interesting. This Terem (like wooden...house/palace) was totally falling apart. This is east of Kostroma, pretty far out in the middle of nowhere.
Almost totally destroyed. Some wealthy Muscovites rebuilt it, using old methods- no new technology. We got a tour and had lunch there, it was really amazing. These aren't my pictures, though I have some.    This one is mine- it's a little painting of the time some Americans accidentally sunk a Russian fishing boat  oops Attached File |

Quote History"SSV-33 was assigned to the Pacific Fleet, but there was no pier large enough for the ship. She was forced to anchor out. Machinery had to remain running while at anchor to support other systems and its crew; the ship became a floating barracks. She never went to sea, while her powerful radioelectronic equipment gradually began to decay.[3] " Great Soviet planning right there!

A lot of this stuff is halfway in between "look at the retards" and "ancient aliens" for me.
The answer is almost always "duh, slav labor".... But that doesn't make it less fun to observe. I'll bet the Ka 50/52, Mi-24, Mi-28, and such has already been covered. VRT-500 looks neat. Slav(e) labor gets shit done at times.

Quote HistoryI worked with two fellows who worked at Timet and they independently told me the story of USSR scrap titanium arriving at the plant in the 80's. Story goes the Timet plant received a load of Ti scrap and someone noticed Cyrillic script on the pieces, which were >5" thick. Timet notified the .gov and the alphabet agencies rolled in and confiscated the scrap load to figure out how the Soviets were making the Ti. |

I still think it's funny that we got the titanium for the SR-71 from the USSR. The Russians tried to hold Elon Musk and SpaceX hostage with titanium, Elon Musk won and still holds a grudge. My employer sells SpaceX an alloy which contains Sn and we had to sign a document that our Sn was not from Russia. |

There's a small monument to the Kursk on Admiralty St in Saint Petersburg by the Naval complex (not sure if it's an academy or base or something). ETA- My old man was in the US submarine service when this happened, there was an interesting sort of respect given to those guys, even though they were the adversary. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By togadelic:
Flew yesterday First flight of the Tu-95MSM, took place at Taganrog. Per UAC announcement: Deeply modernized Tu-95MSM performed maiden flight at the airfield of TANTK them.G.M.Beriev in Taganrog. The flight took place in normal mode, at an altitude of 9000 meters, lasted 2 hours 33 minutes, systems and equipment worked without any remarks. Here’s a summary of upgrades: As part of the modernization program, the bomber received a brand new Novella-NV1.021 phased array radar, a new flight control and information display system, and the Meteore-NM2 airborne defence complex, “capable of jamming enemy ground and aircraft-based radar”. Moreover, the “new” Bear variant features a new SOI-021 information display system and a new weapons control system, as well as new engines, the upgraded Kuznetsov NK-12MPM turboprop engines. These are said to increase the range of the strategic bomber and halve the level of the motors’ vibration. “The NK-12MPM engine developed by the Samara-based Kuznetsov public company (part of the UEC [United Engine Corporation] within Rostec) is a modification of the NK-12MP, the world’s most powerful (15,000 hp) serial-produced turbo-prop engine,” says a statement obtained by TASS last year. “It allows improving the aircraft’s take-off characteristics and increasing the load-carrying capacity and the flight range of the missile-carrying bomber. The new powerplant uses more powerful propellers created by Aerosila Research and Production Enterprise while the new design solutions have almost halved the vibration level,” the statement reads. “This is an aircraft with a new set of weapons, new onboard electronic equipment, new modified engines, new propellers. The combat capabilities of the plane have doubled after this modernisation,” Yuri Slyusar, general director of United Aircraft Corporation said commenting the first flight of the Tu-95MSM, according to the Zvezda television channel.
