Another anti-Soviet bastard with a Russian accent is trying to slander the USSR. I immediately put a dislike! And when planes crash in the West, are capitalist holidays to blame - for example, Bastille Day? Dislike!

This would have been a great aircraft to conduct clandestine aerial reconnaissance over the US. Painted in US colours and with a radio officer skilled in English, could have inserted itself into US airspace pretending to be an actual B29

Typical 70's soviet, cover it up and it never happened 😢

Thanks!

The mental image of a weeping soviet wife writing to Artiom to please stop putting alcohol in the fucking fighter jets because her husband comes home wasted on base and has filled the bathtub with alcohol is fucking killing me

I heard that one reason the me 262 jet plane never became a factor in the war was that hitler really liked dive bombers and wanted the me 262 made into one. Imagine judging the pull up point while aimed at the ground at over 600 mph.

18:36 Warthunder moment. 18:52 Stormworks moment.

I think what amazes me is that so many people here in the United States don't believe it was actually that bad in the USSR. I took a class going over the history of Russia in college and it thoroughly convinced me that the Soviets were at least as evil as the Nazis if not worse. Now, it didn't go over details like the labor law that imprisoned people for being late for work. Otherwise I would've probably considered them far more evil.

The A-10 started with a gun and resulted in a plane. The MiG-27 started with a plane and resulted in a suicidal plane with a gun.

You should do a story on russia.Using washing machine computer chips in their new fighter jets

These were copied, not reverse engineered.

soviet or usa arent peaceful countries or their alies

13:50 the timing here absolutely slew me. Please keep making videos, sir

Какая дрянь, эта ваша западная пропаганда.

I mean both regimes had a systemic design of torture based on ethnicity and paper thin accusations or true accusations in some cases of descent. I don’t know if Russia had a policy of oofing disabled people and veterans. The Russians definitely take the cake in the numbers though but they had decades more to rack up those numbers. More evil I just don’t think that that concept can truly be explained as well it shouldn’t matter. But the statement of questioning if they were the lesser of the two evils is a valid one and the answer is completely relative.

It is still very difficult for ethnic Russians to enter the United States. And when you listen to a touching story about how bad life was for immigrants from the USSR, you are listening to the story of those who are not usually spoken of badly. And this is a fact. Refugees from the USSR are 99.9% of those who are not usually spoken of badly. There is no reason to blame them for wanting to leave Russia. I understand everything, for them the Russian language, culture, customs - everything is alien, but... I want to draw your attention to something else. For the sake of a residence permit in the USA, they are ready to tell you anything. To confirm what you yourself expect to hear from a refugee from the USSR. For those about whom it is forbidden to speak badly, speaking badly about the USSR or Russia is a kind of ritual of initiation into citizenship of the USA or Europe.

Russian pilots must be stupid.

My grandpa nearly died in 1941 due to german bombings in Mariupol, when he was 4 months old only He also was close to hunger death in the famine of 1946-47 Now he turns 84 years old in 3 weeks

"In the USSR you couldnt just change your job because you didnt like it or move to a different city. And despite proclaiming a society of equality you couldnt do much unless you were born wealthy" Cant believe capitalist greed has now brought western society down to the same level as communist shitholes were half a century ago...

Автор, интересные рассказы, но почему нет на русском?

А по-русски?

As far as I remember US atomic bomb was designed and developed by scientists brought to US from Europe. Apollo program and rocket was designed by German Werner Fon Brown etc. Russians have more than 100 years of experience in aeronautics, they designed the first space rocket, Gagarin was the first man in the space, Leonov was the first man who exist the space ship in the space. Russians send the first satellite to the Moon and the Venus.

I don't know any Russian airmen from this era but I love their spirit

Probably the only thing US airmen were jealous of is your ability to crash and have fun while you wait on rescue

The russians will screw up and will understand communism does not work. SOON

It's amazing how people are so gullible they really believe this nonsense!!

These are the people we were made to be afraid of?

Tu-4 is a copycat of B-29… shows what Russian culture is…

I am not drunk. Is merely Special Military Inebriation

You know it's a great country when so many people want out in peacetime, they have to ban leaving

This reminds me of a book I read many years ago that was about a squadron of fighter planes from WWI in England. The lubricant for the engines was apparently made from castor oil (yes, the same oil they give people to help them move their bowels). The spray of the oil coming from the running engine would eventually cause the pilots to experience...abdominal distress. So, many pilots carried liquor along with them while they flew in an effort to lessen the laxative effect of the engine lubricant.

Listening to the stories of my grandparents i cant believe that people idolize communist shit

Super

18:16 La otan debería ponerse unas bolas también y enfrentar a Rusia sin utilizar al infeliz pueblo de ucrania como escudo

i know youre probably not, but i just get self-hating russian vibes from you. you debunk everything they ever did. like the russian never did anything, everything is fake and stolen.. lol

LOL....Imagine how many totally brainwashed, blind, uneducated dummies believe the BS and FAIRY TALES by the Empire of Lies, the United States of Dumb America and Little Britain....They LIED for decades already....🤦‍♂️🙆‍♀️🤣

“Remember: everything that doesn’t praise the f*ck out of Russia, russians, Putin, the USSR and Stalin is Ukrainian propaganda! If you think otherwise, you’re a Nazi! Wait, what do you mean, Putin justified Hitler and blamed Poland for the WWII? Nah, it must be an AI-generated fake made by Ukrainian Nazis like yourself to frame our innocent God-Emperor!!!” It’s literally impossible to communicate with the victims of the russian propaganda. They are ultimate hypocrites with an absolute lack of self-awareness and common sense. If there was a world championship in mental gymnastics, Russia would’ve won the gold medal, and it wouldn’t even be close.

So captain wasn’t in cockpit. Captain was in bed with “unknown” passenger. And he was naked. Me thinks Captain was getting some and left the plan for something more fun. 😂

The pilots were idiots

It literally keeps getting better and better. I can see where the expression about a circus came from. It’s a total clown show of screwups.

Metric isn't better than American imperial. It's only advantage is ease of conversion. Metric isn't intuitive. Also you were forced to switch to Metric by your government, proving you have no rights your government can't take away whenever it wants

Another wonderful story about how the Soviet Union was a totally normal country with military pilots who drank a totally normal amount of machine coolant and antifreeze

What a mess , what a poor everything

Come on bro...NASA employees in the United states during the 50s and 60s used to be a mess. The officers and security personell were drunk on duty very often. To the point where Werhner Von Bron had to personally intervene and fix things.

remember guys, the west put him there.

What is this horseshit about censoring Trump?

Target audience IDIOTS

This channel has become one of my favourite channels. As an Italian growing in the cold war on NATO's side it is refreshing to learn about stories of the once Soviét Unión. Keep up the good content, you are doing an amazing job.

Excellent! So did their engines catch fire too? No doubt they used metals from all the materials shipped over from USA and UK... stuff they paid zero for unlike UK.

Until the mention of glycerin, I imagined these guys drinking some petroleum based shit
