MiG-31 footage

[2skicomrade]

This YouTube channel has some of the best MiG-31 and general Russian aviation videos that I've seen.  I thought I'd share, as the videos have Russian titles and many have probably never seen them.  Thanks to Evgeniy Topgun for his footage, and for posting to youtube.

I like this one (the sign at 1:40 reads "The Russian sky is in reliable hands").

 

 

And of course, evening afterburner runs (is amazing how short the takeoff of this big bird really is).

Well, if you're going anytime around May 9th or get a chance to make it to MAKS 2015 at the end of August.... then you'd better bring a camera, hahah!

yea, we go there in summer too, as planned, with two of my professional photographer friends. Last time in Kiev one of them had infiltrated into some restricted area... stupid spotters... Then I have to pull their asses out from deep...  yet again )))   I said, man you should take care, they take you to the cellar and ....  with your own photo apparatus))

 

Well, if I can have a question... is Monino and Kubinka open to visit this part of the year? Or everything is closed??  I wanted some walk arounds... and bribe someone to let me photo the cockpit of the Ka-25

hahaha) Yeahhh, I can imagine that its probably a little dangerous to be sneaking into restricted areas in Ukraine, considering current events and all... I have a good friend from Sumy, and she told me some pretty scary stories regarding the Ukrainian police/army.  

 

I visited Moscow last February, but never made it to Monino or Kubinka :(  The Monino website says that its open Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 9:30 till 17:00 (with a lunch break from 13:30-14:15).  Monino is also open Saturday and Sunday from 9:00-14:00.  I wouldn't be surprised if they let you inside the Ka-25 if you asked nicely)))

sry for the question, but from which addon?

[Do335]

Snailman it oughtta be a pack in the repo. If memory is correct that is.

[Snailman]

I don't need it, I just wanted to know which "variant" with what values was deadly. I have changed all AAM's already but still testing continously.
