If it’s 2019 for you already then HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Thanks for a great year and let’s fly into the new year with this beast of a helicopter! Thanks again and make sure you share the video if you enjoyed it 👍😁
*HAPPY NEW YEAR MR MAT AND YOU GUYS, IT LOOKS LIKE WARZONE IN THE PHILIPPINES LOADS OF FIREWORKS AND EXPLOSIVE PAPER ROLL TEARS THE STREETS, IM SCARED TO GET OUT NOW CUZ IDK IF IM SURE WHETHER I MIGHT NOT GET HIT OR GET BOOM!* :D
There’s a huge graveyard of hundreds of vehicles and Mi-6 helicopters not far from Chernobyl. Where they were too highly irradiated to even decontaminate. God bless the tough bastards that flew them.
@@harb1911 so are you saying that the KGB was so inept that they couldn't even protect one of their precious test plants But hey let's not go with the fact that communist and socialist dictatorships dont care about the common individual
In 1998, in our town (Lensk, Sakha, Yakutia, Russia) there was a large flood and we were evacuated to a neighboring city on a Mi-26 of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Several buses fit into one flight, more than a hundred people, then they said that there were about 200 people, but I can't say for sure. And Mi-8 helicopters in those days were flying over the city like flies, delivering supplies and evacuating people from any more suitable site.
O M G ! its flying "in soviet Russia" joke !" , "In Soviet Russia they don't fly you in helicopter to hospital,they fly hospital in helicopter to you !"
And rightly so, and still old reactors from submarines are used as cheap power plants in polar latitudes. A helicopter can get to remote areas a couple of days, it's easier to bring the hospital with you)
5:39 Mi-26 Pilot: Ayy Blyat! We are taking small arms fire! Tank Commander: Oy blin! Open the cargo door! Mi-26 Op: _opens cargo door_ What are you gonna do comrade? Tank Commander: Shoot them! *fires Fragmentation shell* *Helicopter loses stability for a few seconds*
You can fit the whole population of a small village in a KV-2 tank, You can fit the whole population of a small town in a ISU-152 TD an the MI-26 helicopter where you could fit the whole population of Russian Federation. Also you should have put the footage in the video where the MI-26 lifts the passenger aircraft. :D Anyways nice video.
@@syaondri I'll say shut up and take my money to world of tank, war thunder, and armored warfare if I could add a Megumin on the side of the tank and the world Explosion on the gun barrel lol
Another great video, Matsimus. I was a passenger in a Mi-26 in East Timor, early 2000's. I knew the specifications, but actually seeing the thing up close was awesome! It was painfully slow, though, taking 50 Minutes to go from Dili to the Oecusse enclave.
I think I stumbled onto your channel from watching PhlyDaily's War Thunder vids, and I'm SO glad I did. These reviews are so very well done! Better than anything the mainstream folks have done. Keep up the good work, I for one want to hear your personal opinions on the vehicles. Cheers!
@@_Matsimus_ yes,and you tell more about russian tech then i can found on russian channels ,great job !:) да, и ты рассказываешь о русской технике больше чем рассказывают на русских каналах , спасибо очень интересно )
Such a beautiful helicopter. Wish my country could have these so i can watch them fly overhead and lifting heavy equipment. But, its too expensive and quite hard to learn when flying one of these. But still beautiful to watch.
In the firefighting version the water bucket carries 15000 Kg of water. That is more than the water carried by two CL-415s. The internal bay is 11m Long + 3m in the ramp, 2.9m wide and 2.7m high. The helicopters internal and external cargo capacity is 20000Kg (normal) and up to 25000Kg (max) and it's range with full fuel tanks is 800Km (500miles) and 1920Km with 4 additional fuel tanks. The normal cargo capacity is about the same as that of a C-130.
I was visiting Deblin Air Force Museum this summer and I had an opportunity to climb up the Mi-6's cabin. Dear Lord how enormous it is! I mean I knew it was huge and its lifting capabilities were unmatched but they actually put a 4x4 UAZ van inside the cargo bay for display and there was still space for couple of dozen fully equipped soldiers left! And to put it into perspective, they parked a Mi-1 heli right next to it, so it looked like this :) www.aviastar.org/scale/scale.php?h1=59&h2=53&h3=0&h4=0&h5=0 Great experience overall, well worth seeing for yourself! :)
USA: I have now, "the biggest helicopter" in my arsenal! 😃 Russia: xaxaxaxxaaaxax! Think again, "My Capitalist Friend" A few vodka's more, and there it is! 😎 Also hey Mat, please review next after this one, this time it's about the "UH-60 Black Hawk". 😅
You mean the collapsed Soviet Union and a 1970s airframe? Gosh if only we didn’t have extremely capable cargo planes that can do STOL... if only russia can complete and make modern tech.
@@sparten17708 Russia is higher on the list of nations with powerful super computers then the USA, completely made from Russian made components. i believe the USA is 3 spots lower on the list then Russia, and used transistors made in China. as wel as being the first nation to field Hypersonic weapons.
Happy new year Matsimus! This is one of my favorite helicopters, quite iconic to Chernobyl disaster which is such a sad story. Too bad the Buran program got cancelled it would shine there as the Soviets intended to use this beast to carry their shuttle. Of course into places where the big Antonov could not bring it. If you want a trip in one check some East European sites maybe Poles offer a joyride. Oh and I am looking forward to 2019 from you. Cheers!
Vietnam PAF saw intensive use of Mil Mi-6 in the war to relocate MiG-21 fighter to temporary runway outside of Noi Bai. The old historical runway is still there with all the waiting station for fighters etc. Mil Mi-6 is still in use there, there was an accident a few years back that take the life of ~20 paratroopers, that push them to switching to the Mil-28 platform
When I did my Air Assault training we used mi26 helos with Afghan pilots. It was actually pretty cool getting to use these after being on only Blackhawks.
The interesting is that Mi-6 has same volume as the C-130 cargo plane, just 12000 kg vs 19000 kg lift capacity and range being shorter 1000 km vs 4400 km. That shows how amazing capabilities Mi-6 had. The Mi-26 instead is same, 20000 kg vs 19000 kg. The Mi-26 has lifted and transported 25000 kg ice block that had inside it a frozen mammoth, directly to research center from the Siperia. So Mi-26 can lift and transport same as C-130 but just shorter ranges and slower, but it doesn't need a landing strip but can do it vertically. It is crazy.
Dear Matsimus, when you have a video that has a lot of numbers, consider using infographics, charts and graphs and comparison tables (e.g. Mi-26 vs other heavy lift helis vs regular helis). Citing lots of numbers purely in audio, and talking fast too, is confusing.
In the US & Canada, private firefighting companies use modified planes and jets to drop water on wildfires. Canada built the famous CL-215 & CL415 which is in service today. During wildfire season, I could see where the MI-26 could be a welcomed addition in fighting fires. With the ability to fill up from a lake which isn't too big to allow for scooping, I would guess this could pick up perhaps 6,000 gallons at once. The Beriev 200 amphibious jet could also be a good addition to any firefighting contractor. This helicopter could serve a lot of needs to companies and governments here in the West.
Happy new year, i enjoy your awersome and educational work/ videos. Can you please do a episode related to Norwegian armed forces, despite all your content, it seams like you haven't covered anything related. There is a lot to cover... for example. -The collision between KNM Helge Ingstad and the supertanker Sola, The Friggate Helge Ingstad sunk and a huge salvation project is now ongoing. - Modearnisation and expansion. - 120 new Cv-90. - 52 new F35. - 20 NH90 helicopters.

Happy new year matsimus (from the philippines)
Hey mat you saw the link I sent about a custom challenger tank?
One of the best documentary on Chernobyl in my opinion.......ua-cam.com/video/FfDa8tR25dk/v-deo.html
The crews used over Chernobyl should be acknowledged globally for their efforts and sacrifices.
@Pinochet Pilot #666 I think it was 2 days to be exact
Tru dat.
There’s a huge graveyard of hundreds of vehicles and Mi-6 helicopters not far from Chernobyl. Where they were too highly irradiated to even decontaminate.
God bless the tough bastards that flew them.
@Pinochet Pilot #666 maybe because it was a sabotage operation planed by intelligence structures from our "friendly" west?

In the US & Canada, private firefighting companies use modified planes and jets to drop water on wildfires. Canada built the famous CL-215 & CL415 which is in service today. During wildfire season, I could see where the MI-26 could be a welcomed addition in fighting fires. With the ability to fill up from a lake which isn't too big to allow for scooping, I would guess this could pick up perhaps 6,000 gallons at once. The Beriev 200 amphibious jet could also be a good addition to any firefighting contractor. This helicopter could serve a lot of needs to companies and governments here in the West.
