2skicomrade 34 Posted December 20, 2014 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. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu9YkhKz6CafVVipjpeTo4g 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). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvpZSBDVqUE 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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))) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
