It was obvious to me as an engineer that this would be the fate of every industry, every machine in Russia within days of the invasion when the sanctions were imposed and 1200+ global corporations that built and maintained Russia's industrial infrastructure left never to return. They lost hundreds of billions of dollars. Russia doesn't have the parts, the technical expertise, or the money to sustain an industrial economy. Each machine in each industry requires specialized maintenance and repair. Therefore Russia was doomed almost from the moment the first Russian soldier crossed the Ukrainian border on February 24, 2022. When trains and trucks can no longer bring enough food to the cities, there will food riots, famines, anarchy, crime waves, epidemics. The entire nation is condemned to die. Those who remained in Russia supported the regime and the war. Don't feel sorry for them, they are guilty of aiding and abetting the heinous crimes against the world.
You have a new subscriber Ivan (I don't subscribe to many) Your upfront and honest commentary about what is happening in your home country often has me scratching my head in disbelief at the blind faith in putin the majority of Russian people have, just think how amazing Russia could have been if putin had used his intelligence and power to improve the quality of life for the Russian people instead of using it to destroy lives.
They have their own aircraft companies, it's just that their aviation industry was heavily dependent on American companies. They do have the ability to produce all Russian aircraft but Russians companies are behind the mark on producing modern fuel efficient engines and high tech electronics for avionics. See: MC 21, Sukoi Superjet, and the old Soviet dinosaur IL-96 (still in use be Cuba and North Korean airlines)
Have you seen Sergei, and his "VASYA IN THE HAY" TH-cam channel? He crowd-funds money to buy winter firewood for widows in the outlying villages. Or he will help get housing for a 20 year old with Cerebral Palsy, because the evil aunt is stealing the state disability money off the debit card every month. Returning to the 1800s? Except for some electricity, many villages (and houses) have changed little since the tsars.
People said Soviet airliners like the Tu-154 were deathtraps, but that wasn’t because of the planes themselves (some of which were quite well designed and engineered) but poor maintenance and airport/runway conditions. Some things never change. On its current path Russian aviation will end up like Iranian aviation, a retirement home for old Western planes long out of service in the rest of the world. One Iranian airline was flying the Boeing *707* until fairly recently.
Or speaking out like Boeing staff all of a sudden mysterious death. Boeing 737 Max the safest plane on the planet not one accident in the last 5 years?
Cannibalizing one plane to keep others flying is only going to work for a little while. Machines used in similar ways in similar conditions tend to fail the same way, so instead of one plane being stripped for parts, you'll end up with a dozen almost complete planes but for the one part that keeps failing.
Damn the amount of comments like yours are hilarious!!!: this dude is a clown 🤡 and you’re sucking hard his propaganda .. I’m so speechless!! You can’t and won’t beat Russia . Relax .. energy crisis is coming to Europe … you guys are living under a rock
Aloha Ivan, Been following you since long before you left Russia. Haven't watched in about 4 months ( health issues) and wanted to say how proud I am of you. 50K+ views is fantastic! Congratulations! 🎉 I know how much this means to you. Keep up the great work. Take care. Hi to Avalina (sorry forgot exactly how to spell her name. Stay safe! 💞🌏☮️
The old man not only had to work to compensate for his low pension, but also had to still get help from his son! And you know that Putin and all the government won't take any blame for all the deaths those crashes (when they happen). The document sounded like the repair and maintenance people don't even have to see if anything is even falling off the plane. Just fill them up, fly them around, land and repeat over and over again without even a visual inspection until they fall out of the sky. And, that won't take too much longer!
Planes missing internationally mandated service intervals and certifications are not allowed to fly over most countries. I'm surprised that Egypt and Turkey are readily making exceptions here. I can't imagine that they are that desperate for worthless Russian tourist roubles.
You'r joking, arn't you ?. Wise up on Russia and the 'Ruski mir' - proof of routine maintenance is just a paperwork exercise, and it's all done by bribery and corruption, buth outside and inside Russia ! Do you see any 'stolen' western leased planes flying into 'proper' countries with rule of law and independent institutions ?
No, ofcourse not. Russia can only fly over international waters and to Kaleningrad. So, they need to use the boat now 🙂 And these "friends" really like to use there own plane's and companies. It's how money is being made. To be profitable, you need to profit from someone. I'ts a zero sum game.
You’re on fire, bro! There hasn’t been a minute where you’ve been ahead of me on your posts until now. I gotta catch up, and I like that because now I’ve got plenty to listen to while I’m working. Rock on, bro!
@ the clown is Ivan it’s obvious haha look at him! 🤦♂️.. there might be another clown too… someone that is sucking his weak propaganda… guessed who is that? lol … dude don’t even try me .. while you have discovered the existence of a country named Ukraine back in 2022 I have been following this like since the 2014 illegal coup by Us.. but of course you don’t know anything I’m talking about now 🤦♂️… never mind.. go watch his videos lol
Thank you Ivan for your good comments. Putin is not worried about the collapsing aviation since there are other means of transportation. We have already seen him riding half naked on the back of a horse, and other options include riding a donkey or an electric scooter. So why worry about sanctions.
I know Evelina is homesick, but I hope she does not travel back as it is too dangerous. I think it would be great if Russian pilots flew out of the country and refused to fly back. I wondered how well the Russian train service is and saw Russell put out a new video on the greatest train system in the world, Moscow Metro added 7 new stations.
Russian trains aren't fairing that well People keep setting them on fire or sabotaging the tracks That doesn't even account for how many may have been hit in Ukraine while delivering supplies
I heard in different channels that all spare part are available as they are being imported through parallel imports. But the price of these parallel imports is two or three times higher than if the sanctiones would not exist.
That is true, it also has a much larger lean time. A lot more waiting when going indirect. "Oh we need a part, fantastic, that usually 2 week wait for new ailerons, is now 6. Perfect, just ground the plane an extra 4 weeks, while paying more to repair. Or fly 3x the hours on a part begging for replacement"
If you do your maintenance according to regulation you need to keep track of things like serial numbers - so "parallel import" is not easy. You lose all traceability and may be paying extra just to get a Chinese knock-off.
Russia had a lot of planes rented from companies here in Ireland when the sanctions started Russia kept all if the Planes millions of euro worth and refused to pay for them so the companies were gone because they had no money, And it was said that the planes would be out of service in a few years because they had no way to service the planes,
@mrjoepietube It is not me it is the family and loved one that have died because corporate interest came first ahead of human lives. The FFA allowed Boeing to certify its own aircraft. This is worse than on a Banana Republic even Russia is not that low. So, let stop pointing a figure at other at look at the 4 that stares back at us shall we?
Ivan is on top when it comes to news. Russian airlines has grounded 34 of their 66 Airbus A320 aircraft due to engine issues made worse by sanctions. In the future more and more Aircraft Will fail in Russian due to the sanctions and shoddy or no maintenance..
Great respect for a brave russian guy telling it as it is,,,saw a Scottish guy filming in a shopping centre in moscow and few teenagers giving him thumbs up and in his next breath said if I,,, was in Scotland my phone would have bin robbed,,,unreal,,,,keep up the good Ivan,,,these guys are dumb,,,fact
That might be the way it really is in Moscow, but most of Russia is far more impoverished than Moscow. Like it's pretty safe to be a tourist in Puerto Vallarta, but far more dangerous to be a tourist in Mexico City.
Thank you for your good orientation. Aren't there the same problems with the railways? As far as I know, the Russian railway stock has some Siemens!? The only Russian production of airplanes must be for military use? The only Russian Best wishes from Denmark
13:10 Hell No Putin Needs to end the pension program to support the SPECIAL MILITARY OPERATION. End the pension program and use that money to build more weapons so Old people can fend for themselves but they are proud of Putin supporting Russians so Don't feel bad for old people LOL. END THE PENSION PROGRAM IN RUSSIA. No more government handouts.
There is a large parts recycle network that operates way outside of manufactures recommendations. Together with it, are large numbers of cut down shafts, adapted and redimentioned bearings, including automotive ball bearings, fake clutches, counterfeit or washed filters, out of date rubber parts, and some components that were rejected in inspections. Russia can easily dive into garbage parts and find good components hopelessly mixed up with sand blasted hot section turbines washed and pickled in a barrel. You wind up with a sewer plane and a lot of failures. Add this to a hard headed culture of rip offs and your airline will turn into a circus.
In aircraft many things time out. That means after an amount of time or cycles it must be replaced. Aircraft engines time out so when that time comes you must change the engine no matter what. Send it in for overhauling.
You would think that the Russian population could make a simple deduction. Invading Ukraine = Western sanctions, pariah state, collapsed rouble, collapsing aviation industry, military bases and oil reserves under attack, huge interest rate......the list goes on.
The EU should honestly consider new, broad strategic based regulations (plus fee-generating surcharges) for enhanced safety purposes, on the hundreds of daily private owned & operated (non-state) airlines and charter airlines, etc., that are not headquartered in RF, but which cross (exploit) EU airspace from points outside of EU, to points of primary destination in RF and vice-versa. Turkish Airlines could be an exception to some extent, on most of such new regulations, being the main airlines of a non-EU member state of NATO.
It was obvious to me as an engineer that this would be the fate of every industry, every machine in Russia within days of the invasion when the sanctions were imposed and 1200+ global corporations that built and maintained Russia's industrial infrastructure left never to return.

Well said.
You’re right but I do feel for the people who didn’t
👍 nice. It probably doesn't help that everything in Russia is overlooked when higher ups are paid off, making everything not as safe as it should be.
Doubtful that a starving population has the energy to make pointy sticks.
@@UserDefaultEuropeRussia invented the AK 47 and Molotov cocktail. Pointy sticks and pitchforks are plentiful.
Maybe if they focused on not shooting down others airplanes they could get some new parts
All trust is lost.
They get the parts from China. And didn't America shoot down one of its own F18 Hornets recently?
They passengers will be literally playing "Russian Roulette" but with airplanes!
Like Boeing 737 Max Don't you agree?
of course they are they are russians aren't they?
Ha ha excellent 🤣🤣Very witty!
@@silafaupaulmeredith7251not the same thing man. Boeing sucks but they are not Russia. What’s wrong with you ?
How many engines do you think are left in the chamber?
Thank you Ivan. You are spot on - The airplane issue will be very strongly prominent in the next 1-2 months during winter.
Continue to allow the airplanes to operate knowing they are unsafe is suicide. Another eye opening video. Appreciate all of your hard work Ivan.❤❤❤
Agree like Boeing 737 Max
Open eyes video 😂 this dude is a clown
Yep, like now a days here in the USA the company Boeing keeps risking the lives of passengers for cutting corners and unqualified labor.
Flash news: Putin doesn't give a fuck about Russians lives. See Kursk incident.
Firstly they steal the planes from the west, then they are not able don’t maintain them.😮
Thank you, Ivan.
@@slarson231 Have you ever heard of the famous Ivan. Yes his full name was Ivan Awfulitch. 😉

Upfront and honest lol. He sings the tune you want to hear, it's a well worn path for Russian 'defectors'.
There's an obvious business opportunity for aspiring entrepreneurs: parachutes.
I cant even imagine a state returning to 1800s, like before airplanes were invented.

This is an amazing aircraft. The air force still uses variants until this day.
This means that if a pilot refuses to fly he will be charged with sabotaging the national economy
Or speaking out like Boeing staff all of a sudden mysterious death. Boeing 737 Max the safest plane on the planet not one accident in the last 5 years?
I guess the pilots could always wear a parachute, just in case?
And if he attempts to fly these obsolete planes he's dead
Ďakujeme.

Thanks for bringing stories to light that i don't see on some of the other channels.

You would think that the Russian population could make a simple deduction. Invading Ukraine = Western sanctions, pariah state, collapsed rouble, collapsing aviation industry, military bases and oil reserves under attack, huge interest rate......the list goes on.
Totally I agree
As if being a pilot isn't stressful enough already......
Maybe some of the those pilots will defect to Finland or Norway with their airplanes.
Good video.
Time is running out.
If I was on Ural Airlines I would be pissing myself.
Yesterday there was 31 Pan Pan return to Airports EU. 49 Pan Pan in US airspace... Make up stats, keep traveling on IE Passport 😉.....
Good vid.
Service and maintaining of elevators and airplanes isn't necessary in Russia and it's a city in Russia.....
Talk about nervous pilots!
They were lucky to be allowed to land and not diverted to the nearest sea
Boeing has been having problems anyway
Who needs safety standards for aviation?
This weird airplane stuff is going on all over the world at the moment it seems.bit I can imagine the burnt of it is happening there
That would be the stolen aircraft 🤔
The EU should honestly consider new, broad strategic based regulations (plus fee-generating surcharges) for enhanced safety purposes, on the hundreds of daily private owned & operated (non-state) airlines and charter airlines, etc., that are not headquartered in RF, but which cross (exploit) EU airspace from points outside of EU, to points of primary destination in RF and vice-versa. Turkish Airlines could be an exception to some extent, on most of such new regulations, being the main airlines of a non-EU member state of NATO.
Ivan, can you link the original Russian aviation document you read?
Aeroflot-pilots used to get psychological support to dare to fly badly maintained airplane.. It was called vodka...
I'm sure Putin can loan some airplanes from North Korea.
Or China or some other asiatic countries😮😅
All well and good for folks with no alternatives; I don't envy them. But-
-it will be a very looong time before I purchase anything Russian again.
Again, well and good. But it seems like the Poo tin is a cornered rat, and cornered rats are unpleasant little beasts.
I believe that the planes received regular services once they made it to ruble hungers Turkey, Egypt and Thailand
