Anyone else wish we got a bit more of an explanation as to what is going in, do a look around at the new jet, explain why and how they got it, etc.? We've just been shown 25 minutes of flying from somwhere unknown to somewhere else unknown for an unknown reason. Feels kinda random

Czechoslovakia was never part of the Soviet Union. It was part of the Warsaw Pact only.

[@user-yd6ef1yo9d]

Smaller countries can't make everything from scratch. Canada and Mexico wisely manufacture many products based on designs and technology are from the US. The Soviet Unions also created designs and sold technologies to smaller countries in its region.

[@alexeyvlasenko6622]

@@user-yd6ef1yo9d In this case, it was precisely the reverse. Czechoslovakia often created designs and sold technologies to the USSR. Including this type of aircraft, and a few others.

[@rudycze3470]

L-39 is not Soviet!, it was designed and made in Czechoslovakia... learn the difference, please.. its really hurt always hearing Soviet jet.... and its not even fighter, its primarily training/ground attacking, but it can be fitted with AA heat seaking missiles

[@eysank]

To be expected from unknowledgeable Americans.

[@kv501]

By Soviet fighter you mean, “Czechoslovakian trainer,” right?

I can tell you he’ll never understand that and he’ll just keep thinking that Czech equals Soviet Union.

[@vitezslavnovak2077]

​@@richardwade6256 Yes, lot of Western people, not only from America, consider everything eastwards from Germany to be Russia/Soviet Union. The best way how to piss off the people from Central Europe. 🙂

[@robertvojtisek4697]

To be clear: In 1967, the Warsaw Pact announced a tender for a subsonic training aircraft. (Warsaw Pact - the opposite pole of NATO whose members were: USSR, Poland, Hungary, GDR, Bulgaria, Romania, Albania, Czechoslovakia). The tender was attended by: USSR, Poland, Czechoslovakia and I think also GDR. The competition was won by Czechoslovakia with the L39 Albatros, which was designed, designed and constructed by engineer Vlček and his team from the Research and Test Aviation Institute in Prague - Letňany, str..Beranových 64. The L39 Albatros was the successor to the L29 Delfín, also entirely designed in Prague under led by Ing. Wolf. The aircraft was produced in the following factories: Aero in the town of Vodochody, approx. 30 km from Prague, Motorlet Praha-Jinonice and the Rudý Letov factory in Letňany, 35 Beranových Street, Prague. Part of the project was also the production of flight TL 39 and catapult NKTL 29-39 trainers. For example, 372 NKTL 29-39 trainers were produced. L39 aircraft of various versions were produced approx. 100 pieces per year and exported to all countries of the Warsaw Pact, including the USSR! (except for Poland, which did not lose the tender.) but also to other socialist countries and also to so-called friendly countries such as: Iraq, Libya ... and of course to China. The L39 was produced modernized until 2004, I think. After 1989, US companies also took part in the modernization. The production of aircraft continues in AERO Vodochody until today - L39 NG, L159... Customers are also US companies providing service to the US army during the training of military pilots . The whole project is Czech and has nothing to do with Russia, the USSR or the RF. The Czechs are understandably very proud of the production of these aircraft, considering that only 9-10 countries in the world produce jet fighters of their own design. Czechoslovak industry also participated in the development and production of Russian space technology. For this share, Czechoslovakia was rewarded by sending Vladimír Remek into space, and thanks to this, Czechoslovakia was the third country in the world to send a man into space. That's all. Greetings from a former employee of Rudý Letov n.p. later Letov a.s. I worked on the production of the NKTL 29-39 wing and trainer.

[@JasonScott-ep2wv]

Come on MIT, don't dis the Czechs and their nation's pride. Lol. Foreign relations is important for Europe, us Americans can slack on European history. If your platform is supported by these Czech aircraft maybe know you are flying a 110% Czech republic aircraft and not a Russian ship 😊. Keep up the chanel, love it. Peace.

[@nikolatesla4030]

It seems to me that you don`t know what you bought. Because it is not a fighter but trainer and not Soviet but from ex-Czechoslovakia.

[@sophiejaysstuff4026]

Might un-subscribe after this one It's a f--ing Czech trainer.....

Matt I look for the Albatross every day I’m out to see it fly over. I can hear you but have yet to catch a glimpse of you fly in or out. I keep hoping to see the little Albatross!! 🤠

He comes from a world where people have zero idea of what is cheap or expensive. It's like that video of Bill Gates guessing a container of Tide pods is $4, but a bag of Totino's pizza rolls is $22.

[@miroslavcerny589]

Hi, this is a L-39 Albatros of Czechoslovak manufacture, not Soviet.

I can't believe that someone who flies a commercial aircraft would be so uneducated.

G,day Matt from Sydney Australia. Absolutely fantastic jet documentary (part 1) and great to see you back on your channel. Some gorgeous class A airspace flying, super jealous of seeing that cloud layer up close and reading the holes. I'm glad you moved the jet onto the taxi centre line: "removing a slice of Swiss cheese." Thankyou 🌏🇭🇲

[@leekarr5044]

That break through was awesome!

[@richardwade6256]

Love these videos. Great stuff. I want to point out that it is not a Soviet aircraft. It’s a Czech aircraft. Yes, Czechoslovakia, as it was then, was a member of the Warsaw Pact and therefore under Soviet influence but it was an independent country and not part of the Soviet Union.

[@Marc1973Dez]

DID anyone see the Soviet Fighter Jet from outside in this vid??? Or, anyone knows what soviet Fighter jet he bought so we can search in on KZbin??

​@@reason6835Is the Czech training aircraft close?! Yes, at the beginning of the Russian invasions we hung guns on them and used the L-39 to fight off the attacking Russian fighters from the real MiG-29 and Su-27 fighters. Well then, this is at least a smaller Ukrainian fighter.

I get that at MIT they don't cover basic geography but in grade school you should have learned that Czechoslovakia (the country your jet was built in) and USSR were different countries. Unless perhaps you wanted to prove that the widespread jokes about Americans lacking basic knowledge of geography were indeed rooted in truth.

[@virgo47]

Depends how you look at it... when it came from Estonia. But yeah, it is a Czech plane (or Czechoslovak, but not that much Slovak, really).

Close enough. Designed and produced in a Warsaw Pact, Soviet satellite country and flown by the Soviet Air Force. Technically not produced in the Soviet Union, but bickering about it is nitpicky semantics. Who cares?

@@staccami You cannot change the history. The US used to be a colony of England and started mass manufacturing using technology from England and other European countries. Why be ashamed of making jet planes desigjned in Russia? It's a lot better than making nothing but beer and soup, isn't it?

Typical American ignorance, and he keeps pushing it. Very disappointing... Talking about Matt of course; @LenfredDueck en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aero_L-39_Albatros

Agreed Stejuify. It’s like saying the P51 Mustang was German (most of it was designed by German engineers… Google it), the Mustang was American. The L-39 was a Czech aircraft, sold to Soviet, etc. Lenfred, example: the Mirage was French, even though they are part of NATO. Bottom line, give credit where credit is due. 🙂
