      If the very first sentence was true, communism would have started the industrial revolution instead of freedom in the USA. Sorry,---it would not have happened with out the USA, and russia has been an impoverished citizenry while people in the USA flourished with their minds, and their freedom. "Be Amazed" at all the dysfunctional things a communist government makes,, (usual copies or given or taken.). We did it better when we were free to do so.

      Being conservative is okay, but you can stretch it too far. These ancient units cause trouble, when you talk to people who went to normal schools (these scientific units exist for many many many years, now) and use normal units in daily life, just because EVERYBODY dropped those weird Emperor things. Except for you. Wake up! The world is larger than just your country. When will you finally discover they have passed you? Your units are out dated. Admit it.

    The crazier thing was the mass popularity of technics, machinery and engineering in society in 1900-1970s. Magazines like Popular Mechanics were actually quite, well, popular in Soviet Union. And the Unoin published its own analogical magazines too. And it was just a part of a social ssytem which also included technical-oriented child clubs, youth societies, practical sections and home enthusiasts communities, educational materials, do-it-yourself kits, tech propaganda in literature, cartoons, movies, newspapers, and much more.

      Since they’re made to be small and light they dont have alot of fuel, but carrying them into battle allows them to save the fuel they would use to fly to and from the airfield.
      To use your towing example, if you towed another car then yes you’d use more fuel, but the other car wouldn’t use any.
      And if the other car was a racecar with a small and light fueltank, you could put it inside a semi-truck and since the Semi doesn’t need to worry about being light and nimble on a racetrack it can have much larger fuel tanks.
      Which means even tho it would use more fuel, then it wouldn’t have to stop to refuel on the way to and from the racetrack, while the racecar wouldn’t be able to make that trip on it’s own

    Funny thing is that the Zveno (literally meaning "chain link") really was referred to as "flying circus" amongst the military. BTW, the Oka, being a reactive mortar, had a brother called 2A3 Condensator (more like "compensator", lol), which was an actual 406-mm nuclear-capable self-propelled artillery cannon. A moving naval gun. Sick. But still not as sick as D-80 with 535-mm. I guess, it's about that time the soviets ran out of amphetamines produced during WW2, so the thing was never actually built.

      Any extent of "good life" was limited time wise to approx. Brezhnev's ruling period, and only to those loyal to the regime (and to those unloyal, there were prisons and psychiatric clinics).
      Tell about a "good life" to those multiple millions who perished during state invoked famines, mass deportations, red terror, mass killings, war crimes towards civil population, literally countless innocent victims of GULag, etc.
      Also, tell about a "good life" to those many millions of peasants, who were effectively slaves, had no ID, no right of free moving, no real payment for their hard work, all the way until the end of 1960'ies.

    There's nothing crazy about the ideas behind some of these machines. The Kalinin plane was an ancestor of the Antonov "Mriya" heavy transport aircraft which can move stuff no other plane can, and Roberto Bartini's idea was to engineer a plane which could take off from any surface. Some Soviet engineers worked under awful conditions and all of them had to deal with constrained resources.
    Give credit where credit is due

    Man, majoring in political science in college was awesome. Knowing that they couldn't deploy those lasers because "other powerful countries would have stopped them," is very good at describing the principal of "if you have political power, you can FORCE people to do things" is pretty cool when you think about it.

      Initially hydraulics were considered, but to counter recoil force, the system itself would require flexible tubing made out of materials, which did not exist at the time. Amount of force which was produced by recoil was so great that any hydraulic system would have exploded after first shot. Muzzle breaks were also installed, however, as calculations have shown, it showed signs of damage after first shot and was ripped out after 3rd, resulting in exploded barrel.

    @20:05 - This version of The Kalinin plane looks awesome but it's self-evident that this monster could never have gotten airborne, it literally was a (non)Flying Fortress, complete with cannons. I can't even believe they'd have bothered to make a mock-up of this plane so I suppose the image is of a model. Curiously, almost every image of the Kalinin plane shown is different

      @Judy 21 y.o - check my vidéó On 14 November 1910, Eugene Burton Ely's first experimental take-off of a Curtiss Pusher airplane from the deck of a United States Navy ship. And 18 January 1911, Ely landed his Curtiss Pusher airplane on a platform on the armored cruiser USS Pennsylvania anchored in San Francisco Bay.
      So no. The Aircraft Carrier concept first existed in USA. They were performing carrier Flight Ops since 1910.
