That's very smart
more like devious
Smart solutions for a dumb plan
Is it? It doesn't seem to be working out well at all.
@@xmarine73 I mean it didn't work out well for em cause they didn't work smarter not harder cause Russia moment but it couldnve.it was a good idea tho it didn't pan out.
Some soviet planes have alcohol as cooling agent. And they required tankers of that vodka. Lots of it
There was one vehicle that required ethanol in one of its operating fluids. I can’t remember which one.
@@Mortablunt I think its the TU-22, also known as the "booze carrier"
The project is declassified yet he speaks about it like JFK will disappear him if he talks about it.
Is every document declassified? I don’t think you and I would know
@@N7mudkip what he's talking about is absolutely declassified, he's just acting secretive for the camera and to make it seem like he's actually a useful source of information. A lot of shit is declassified from those times, I mean they literally declassified a document where the CIA was drugging citizens, you think they care about a document saying russia planned on invading Europe and made sure their army could supply with NATO shit? Literally everyone already knew that. Obviously there's shit that's still classified, the most important shit, but nothing he is talking about is that important, obviously or it wouldn'tve been declassified.
@@N7mudkipafter 50 years like 99.9 percent of classified docs become unclassified through freedom of information act
@@AlexB-pp7dc pretty sure he mentioned that there's still stuff that's Classified about the project, and it can certainly be that certain parts of it are still in use today, or where until recently being used which would compromise security or have some other effects that wouldn't be good for their interests
What is trailing link landing gear and how does it help landing on improvised runways? Anybody know? 🤔
It's a bit about geometry, how the landing gear is designed so it absorbs the impact of a landing and disperses the energy so that the plane doesn't bounce but land smoothly also on rougher terrain.
Pretty common in most fighter planes and jets for many decades.
@@Miragexe I see, thanks
Elaborating a bit on Mirage’s explanation, trailing link gear is when the wheel is mounted on a hinged (and sprung/damped) trailing arm that extends behind the main gear strut. This allows for greater suspension travel and gentler impact forces on the airframe, at the cost of larger and heavier landing gear
You see trailing link gear on a lot of naval aircraft designed to land on carriers. IIRC, the F/A-18 family have it.
Luv it! Many thanks ❤❤️
And now old soviet planes are firing French cruise missiles at ruZZian submarines. Beautiful.
Hey some of those missiles are British or American too 👀
Who hurt you, boy? Your uncle?
And 30 yr equipments kicked the sht ou your nazi régime counter offensive weird who things work hein !?
Dead man talking, interesting.
Russia is just smarter and 2 steps ahead
They’re all in it together. The average Ivan going to work today don’t have beef with us; just like I don’t have beef with him.
True of many soviet things- it’s why a lot of the time their mortars/artillery/tank guns are juuuuuuust slightly bigger so they can kinda use our stuff but we can’t use theirs
That is an old wives tale. I'm sure there are some exceptions, and sure... If the round fits, you can try firing it. It will be really ineffective though. Guns need to fit snuggly for them to gain pressure, you know?
You can't use a 120mm with a 125mm gun willy nilly. Or a 155mm with a 152mm round.
The Fins tried using the 81mm with an 82mm motar to little success.
When it came to the guns. I read they made it 125mm since their ammo pound for pound was never as good for the most part, and Western tanks are heavier with more armor.
I bet the Ukrainians wished they could use NATO standard rounds on their Soviet pieces! They are begging for more 155mms.
Same with old Soviet block countries joining NATO. They had to spend a lot of money to get within NATO standards. I read that is a perquisite for a country joining so everyone's military can work together much easier, although I am not sure if that is a myth as well.
If I'm wrong then please show me proof. I can't find anything on it.
Nice wig brah
Greatest man in history
- Had no servants, yet they called him Master.
- Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher.
- Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer.
- He had no army, yet kings feared Him.
- He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world.
- He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him.
- He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today ""His name is Jesus""
