Soviet/Russian technology and manufacturing may not always be cutting edge...but it's built tough and to last. Such a interesting video showing it operating in an extreme environment.

There is new modification aircarft IL 96 IL 76 Tu 204

[@gezaeckrich6773]

2011 wurde der Rumpf und die Technik modernisiert ,und digitalisiert ..2015 wurde schon ausgeliefert ..Es ist nicht mehr , die alte ,,,sowjetische “ technik..😉

[@gazof-the-north5708]

The Il-76 is one tough aircraft. Very rugged and can operate in all enviroments.

[@aburasosman8790]

Badass technology There is new modification aircarft Like IL 76 IL 96 Tu 204 And many For agriculture aircraft

That is an interesting looking plane. The only Ilyushin plane that I knew of was the IL-2 attack aircraft during WW2. I thought that the Antonov's were what the Russian's used. Good to know more about these. Thank you for the education! Once again - great video. I look forward to all your videos.

Il-76 is in the niche between the huge Antonov-124 Ruslan and the smaller An-26

[@ccapt]

@@Sergei_Gusakov, rather, an-12. an-26 is a step lower.

[@Sergei_Gusakov]

masterfully done and informative as usual

Самый красивый военно-транспортный самолёт в мире!

Coolest plane on earth.

God I love this plane so much thinking about getting a tattooed on my chest

Came for the plane, but that sport car in Antarctica just more eye catching LOL

I wonder if the tyres heat up on landing an could be a problem if they melted the ice to the shape of the tyre making it hard to move when preparing to take off. I suppose a trundle back up the strip immediately after landing would chill the tyres down again. Good interesting video.

[@tletter]

+Straight talking Perhaps a study has been done that answers your question. However as explained, there is much less friction on the tires when landing and braking is not used in favour of reverse thrusters due to the low coefficient of friction on the ice runway. In short, it's unlikely that buildup of heat in the tires on landing is of major concern.

[@straighttalking2090]

@@tletter Thanks for the reply, appreciated. I must have missed that in the narrative - probable overawed by the visual spectacle!

[@pmue437]

Il 76 have millions of hours in Ice landing and starting no issues. The IL76 worked for devades in Sibiria as Post and Cargo planes.

[@ccapt]

exremally low temperatures, as well as extremally high, are usual environments for il-76 by design

[@AndrewTubbiolo]

Great action shots of that new Model Il-76. Of course you have to include the tailgunner footage from the combat model. I wonder if they allow high paying passengers to sit in the navigator greenhouse?

[@cokeforever]

no and no, last one was produced in 1990 at KAPO plant; you could not sit at any money cost in any airliner's office since 9-11, penetrating a cabin is an offence and both russian and western crews are equipped with Tokarevs and Glocks to counter any attempt; also make note that all aircraft after 9-11 are equiped with four cameras overlooking the armored door to cockpit, rwo of which are concealed

[@tletter]

+Andrew Tubbiolo What passengers were allowed to do in the the IL-76 has changed until now, passengers cannot fly on the IL-76 serving ALE. However, at one time, it was possible to see the view from the navigator's station - remember that these are charter flights so the rules governing passengers are more flexible.

[@Admin...]

high quality video, it just sad how youtube algorithms prefers absolute garbage tiktop style videos.

[@tletter]

+Admin Well unfortunately, that's the way the cookie crumbles on YT.

That funny bubble below with windows is for the navigator and he sits above the ground surveillance radar. Today there is probably another radar system in this plane where the navigatot sat Soviets liked having a mapping radar, and nose radar like everybody else but their radar systems mustve been shit because every big soviet plane has a navigators observation seat as a backup

[@tletter]

+Dylan McCallister As mentioned in the film, the glass nose of the llyushin IL-76 was a military requirement so that the navigator could locate remote runways and/or drop zones (paratroopers and airdrops).

[@thomasgilson6206]

Are we sure that 1450 meters of ice is enough to hold that big plane?

[@tletter]

+Thomas Gilson The jury's out but there's a major engineering study underway to answer that.

[@thomasgilson6206]

@@tletter Good to see you have a sense of humor. Really enjoy your educational and adventurous travelogues, even if it makes me a bit jealous. ;)

It can stop even with less than 1000 m
