Swallowing pride is often how one stays alive in this world. I have several examples of this in my own life. We appreciate it broskies!

True legacy of CCCP continue to live and evolve in RF👍

[@trumanhw]

technology? Sure. But Russia (Putin) is doing all he can to make Russia a good place for Russians. Unlike the BS under the Soviets (or under the Dims in the US, now!) ... which was often run by Georgians, and other non-Russians. Russia kicked Socialism and began to flourish after the 90s ... the US felt it beat the Soviets, and is accelerating towards socialism and debt. But yes ... given that Russia's 40% as populous nation has as many STEM grads, they're doing great

🇷🇺 ❤ УРААА !! Great episode. Though, I hope you can do a follow up on the _Mi-26T2V_ ... which is the modernization project as of 2015. GOOGLE IT. It has a beautiful Glass Cockpit. Every bit as clean (cleaner) than a modernized UH-60.

Say the test pilots do have to jump out of a plummeting helicopter. How do they clear those massive rotating blades?

[@dpc2965]

Hope

[@trumanhw]

Whoa. THEY CAN SAFELY LAND ... via auto-rotation.
There's actually a video of it online. Simulating engine loss.
