That it seems to have been a failure of the arrestor cable just adds a grim comic element to the crash.

SO this is definitely the ghost of Nikolay Kuznetsov bringing terror to modern day Russians for all the poo poo he had to take right? Maybe he's just confused and thinks he's still fighting fascists, easy mistake

cinci zoo sniper posted:Guess what joke he was making. That'll teach me to phone post. Wow, you know things are bad when even quote:"I’d call it the ‘bitter Syrian lessons. Despite its cute name, Svetlana, that arresting gear became a real gravedigger for our planes. It is a very cumbersome and complex system, and we’re not the only ones suffering from such problems – some US aircraft too ended up dropped into the sea by an arresting gear cable. This is a global military-technical problem, so to speak, as there has never been an absolutely perfect landing on any aircraft carrier. What happened now was exactly what President Vladimir Putin spoke of: the Syrian operation exposes strengths and weaknesses of our military hardware," Baranets explained.

cinci zoo sniper posted:To translate that bit accurately, since Google Translate did mutilate the sentence, the plane rolled off the deck during the landing as the arrestor cable did tear apart. Did the pilot make it out?

AceRimmer posted:How many planes has the United States lost during GWOT et al. during carrier ops, because I'm pretty sure the answer is, not that many. But probably not zero. The US has used a whole fleet of carriers and has built a large institutional knowledge of how to operate them reasonably safely. In the process they've lost over 12 000 aircraft to the seas... Russia has just one, and to be honest they have pretty much zero idea what they're supposed to do with it.

Belarus Is Emerging as the Silicon Valley of Eastern Europequote:MINSK, Belarus—Belarus is run by a former collective-farm manager and is known for manufacturing tractors.

Estonia also getting sugar tax and car registration tax (which applies every time the car gets a new owner in the registry, that also means used cars). I'm sure we'll have a dozen more by the end of this decade so we don't get too much of a budget deficit. I already mentioned the excises anyway and luckily there's Latvia. Oh boy, this tax experiment will be so exciting. I still haven't heard much of their plans to make the economy grow again. Other than reducing income tax on dividends by 6% (20%->14%) if dividends are paid at least annually. And loaning 300 million, and selling off some state owned firms. At least the new minister of agriculture finally resigned, two last things brought up against him included not paying back the insurance company for filing a false claim and loaning money from another politician that he didn't declare. In addition to numerous other things. jonnypeh fucked around with this message at 10:14 on Dec 8, 2016 |

TasogareNoKagi posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-EHwYOfY94 One funny thing about AWACS planes is that the radome saucer thing creates some lift of its own, so while it's not exactly a biplane it might still improve the chances of pulling up after a failed landing.

Amateur researchers from NASA found an abandoned city on the surface Mars, according to this Russian website. quote:Businesses are trying to figure out the cause of the disappearance of the Martian civilization and the destruction of the city found.

Dwesa posted:Hah, other popular stories are funny too. Something about Russian kid adopted into USA killed by parents and then some article about discrimination against Russian media by the West. That's like neo-nazi with swastika on his forehead complaining about being called racist. The adoption one's likely related to actual findings of abuse of adoption programs operating out of Russia from a couple years ago.
