Hey Stratofortress, did you ever serve as an airborne aircraft carrier? I didn't think so.

That is why they had covers. They shut down the program because it didn't work.

Actually it's because how balls-to-the-walls insane way of them dealing with their economy was, people were starving pretty much everywhere, equally of course.
I'd like to have the China conquer earth, they get shit done and have pretty much abandoned idealism from the way of profit for their people and nation

FOAB is the only thing to slap MOAB and yell it to bomb kitchen.

JESUS CHRIST that thing got off the ground!
If that thing can even make it off the runway i'll hit my dick with a hammer
I want to be IN that.
I could make a "in soviet russia..." joke here, but since no one would want that, I shall spare you all
man. i'd love to look at that plane in real life. up close and personal.
[QUOTE=KirilloTRON;26328762]And what about russians flying giants...
hmm, "Ilya Murometz" was a real, first big battle-plane

Look at those two guys just standing on it while it's flying :v:
[QUOTE=wewt!;26351280]Look at those two guys just standing on it while it's flying :v:[/QUOTE]
They're gunners.
The Ilya was interesting because it was a pre-WWI design with a fully enclosed interior.
[QUOTE=TH89;26326165]How the hell would that thing even turn[/QUOTE]
They let they're soldiers push the sides to turn.
[QUOTE=mastermaul;26354276]

And first plane in history, with bedroom, bath and toilet. Really.
As for about standing people on the pic, they're not gunners. It's a deck for walking.
does that thing fly or does it just drive and destroy everything?

Oh, the gunners deck must be a bit more up front then.
[QUOTE=SoaringScout;26313083]Oh. Indeed it is. I saw a translation to Russian characters, so I immediately thought it was Russian. My bad. Doesn't change how enormous that plane is.
Also: The world's largest helicopter

I have no idea what country it originates from, but it's used by the Soviet Air Force.[/QUOTE]
Thats the Mi-12 helicopter.
[QUOTE=Ghost656;26328040]Was it really Russian or Ukrainian?[/QUOTE]
It wasn't and I didn't imply that it was. I'm just saying that since Russia and Ukraine seem to have big vehicles of many types, it makes me wish they would make a plane as big as the Allure of the Seas. That would be cool.
That's not a plane, that's a goddamn building.
This thread makes me think of Ace Combat 6:

I'd like to see modern Russia (or anyone for that matter) build something like THAT.
i was searching the internet today, and i saw that somewhere. Just forgot where though
