    I've stood beside this thing in real life at the Central Air Force Museum at Monino, outside Moscow. It is really hard to fathom just how fucking big this thing is. The thing that really stuck out to me (apart from obvious) was the tail.... just the sheer size of it.... it's like standing next to a building. I highly recommend the museum to anyone interested in Soviet aviation, it's a bit out of the way, but it's a real treasure trove.

      One day I'd love to see that. I'm a bit of a Russian/Soviet enthusiast (if I can put it like that?). Their innovation and engineering abilities were absolutely superb and often very unique, look at the Ekranoplan, Raketa and the AN-124/225 aircraft for starters. I've been under the 225 as it takes off and it's an experience like nothing else, it doesn't so much as fly, more shake the life out of the world around it until it gives up and moves out of its way. Beautiful thing it is. And then, there's the Ilyushin IL-76... oh, I could be here all evening... did I mention the Soviet Concrete architecture??? I'll fetch my coat...

      I got interested and tried searching that place, this helicopter is actually visible in the museum grounds (it's in the open), both in satellite view and street view. Give it a check if it interests you.
      It's massive btw

      @@restojon1 Yeah, they have just about every Soviet aircraft in existence at that museum (apart from the big boi Antonovs... they did have the chunky An-22 though, which I've always had a soft spot for). There are several hangars as well that are filled with WWII aircraft and experimentals from the 1930s. AThey have a Tu-144 there (that apparently has a still operable droop snoot and deployable canards). I tried asking the groundskeeper in my incredibly shit Russian to see if I could go inside, but to no avail. Anyway, definitely a highlight of my time in Moscow. I totally get your fascination of Russian/Soviet things... I just excitedly recieved a book on Soviet Bus Stops and everyone thinks I'm crazy hahaha

    Спасибо!!!! This is so lovely, thank you! As a kid I’d visit my grandmother in Monino where a V-12 is on display at the local airforce museum. A TU-144 is there too. It’s essentially a giant field full of Soviet Aircraft with a small museum across the road. I’d always make a point of visiting in the summer and the V-12 was my favorite (along with the Sukhoi T4 - the Soviet equivalent of the XB-70). The V-12 is truly massive and you’ll be glad to know well looked by experts and volunteers. The rotor blades are so big that it’s hard to imagine they could even spin. There was a lovely guard working there who was happy to see a young girl being excited about aircraft engineering and once gave me a tour of the V-12 interior. Like many Soviet and Russia aircraft its cockpit is painted in a specific turquoise - I was told this is because Soviet scientists believed this color kept pilots relaxed does not strain their eyes when looking at other lights and dials. Anyways, there’s something beautiful and melancholic about that field, you can’t help but think of all the hours and dedication put into creating such aircraft - even if you disagree with their purpose. And then to see them slowly decaying, wondering what happened to the people who made them? I nearly became an aeronautical engineer but my other passion, architecture won. But I’m still an enthusiast. Seeing this video made me really nostalgic and it’s lovely knowing more people will learn about this beautiful aircraft. Anyway, thank you again. You might not read this but if you do another aircraft that’s in Monino which you may want to make a video about is the Bartini Beriev VVA 14. It was amphibious and VTOL - really ahead of its time.

They were made and then nobody used them for anything. Today’s creations are made to be useful not impressive. However, there are still some wealthy companies making weird and wonderful inventions.

Not much was known about it at the time, especially not its purpose, but this kid became fascinated by it. Since then, I've seen very little published about this leviathan in the world press and practically nothing in any English-language publications, to the point that practically all US authors completely ignore it when discussing the world's largest helicopters. Thank you for publishing this and doing the research. You have gained a new subscriber.

    I remember seeing this helicopter in news reports and thinking they would be building these for city to city transport. I later thought what would end their use was the huge oil price rises of the early 70s. as helicopters would be more expensive to fly the jets.
    One thing that did strike me about the layout was how similar it is to the German WW2 Focke-Achgelis 223 helicopters of WW2. Turns out it grew into the Mil V-12
    Interestingly America had the idea of launching ICBMs by deploying them out from inside a transport aircraft using parachutes. The first chute would pull the missile backward out of the aircraft and the second chute would deploy out of the missiles nose cone which would leave it pointing upwards. Then once it was pointing up the engines would be fired and it would continue its flight to its target. The problem, of course, is that if the second chute does not deploy you have a missile full of full and a nuclear warhead plummeting towards the earth. not what you wanted.

      1. Well, USSR was an oil supplier on the market with big reserves. Not sure if the price crisis in the 70s would really affect their internal use. The helicopter was discontinued because it had no practical purpose.V-12 was designed, as the video suggests, to compensate for the lack of a more powerful engine and rotor. But the development took so long that the Soviets now developed a new engine and rotor, which could be used on a more conventional layout. The biggest issues with this chopper stem from its layout as twin side mounted engines. On one side it can generate stability problems with yaw and bank (Hope I did not get my axis wrong again). On the other you have a machine hich increased its footprint, meaning you need to clear out a huge area just for this beast to land, making it impractical for both cities and thick forrests. The more 'conventional' layout of the Mi 26 meant that at least you reduce the footprint a bit and gain a more traditional way of control.
      2. Perhaps. In aviation many seemingly copied or improved upon one another.
      3. That airplane ICBM seems the most impractical ideea I heard in a long time. First of all, how are you going to aim that thing? The INS is going to be all over the place. And the parachute needed to hold 20 tons in the air would be massive.

    I love the renderings - they even simulate chromatic aberration at the edges. Absolutely superior content, thank you for making this!

    I don't have curiosity stream and I really want to learn about the MIG passenger jet. Can you please post it?
