Now now, its not Boeings fault. . .because Boeing has been dead for about the last 40 years. McDonnell Douglass has just been wearing the skin of Boeing masquerading as them as they casually burn everything Boeing stood for to the ground after buying Boeing with their own money.
Russians are tough mofos and so are their products. Aleksei Ovchinin and Nicholas Hague would agree. World Trade with Russia was/is blocked both when the Tsar ruled as well as post Revolution. Our ruling class wants it that way and it's what the many excuses for our military buildup ensures. Oppression and cheap resources that are "ours" (even if they're shipped to China), regardless of where they lay is the "why?" Boeing is now much like the once great Lockheed and neither can knock the 52, 16 and not even the 15 out of their roles - and that's after a trillion dollars worth of "attempts". Gentlemen, we are in the post-"just profit" era. A rising stock price is all that matters to the few that tie their compensation to it. Greenspan and Reagan knew what few saw coming. Their roles, their positions, their actions were all very deliberate and not evrtheir own ideas. It's how societies crumble. Before the "big" guys leave town they must first fleece all of the sheep.
Kinda? The P-40s early faults though were solved thanks to NACA wind tunnel testing, and the latter faults were only discovered like two years into the war, where upon they were fixed by elongating the tail (which was introduced on the F model going forward)
Sometimes a shitty aircraft is still better than no aircraft. They needed fighters NOW…and I can certainly see how “keep building them, we’ll fix the design later…” is a logical decision.
Wait! There was a defector from the Soviet Union to Imperial Japan?! That should’ve been the story, lol. What was that guy thinking?
Yes not much of a start , But amazingly enough by 1943 , they were building highly competitive aircraft .
3:22 as usual the USSR were ahead of their time. It’s taken Boeing another 80 years to discover how to build aircraft without any quality control 😂

2:54 In other words, the Soviet P-40?
