Interesting material, thank you. Loved the fur hats ...
Hehe, I want that furr hat! Great stuff, the russians are truly innovative![]()
Ha ha, I remember reading when the Russians were designing the Su-25 Frogfoot they were thinking of including a pod under each wing to accomodate flight mechanics and technicians, so the planes could land and be serviced almost anywhere...
Ha ha no it definitely didnt happen, but they thought about it.. those crazy russkies!
will try and find u link
How can this possibly save you from a AK47 round? Guess it will stopp the bullet, but won't the skull still be crushed?
Where is the Bottomless Vodka-bottle?
From www.aviation.ru :
"Sukhoi was fooling with idea to make people pods as well, so that ground crew could have been transported along with aircraft, but for some reason (lack of enthusiasm from the ground crews?) it did not came through"
