The Vozdukh-1 video has finally been uploaded. Make sure to check it out!

@Zebbums Deep Purple is very good

@Combination_K THEY KEEP FINDING BANGERS I NEVER KNEW EXISTED HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE

PART 2 SOON

An unfortunate incident that transpired in 1964 when Vozdukh-1 had just entered service: "At trials of the ASU “Vozdukh,” I, as a signalman, was shocked by a situation where dozens of heavy, field, multi-core cables were laid between the mobile objects of the command post. Many of the cables were connected with couplings, since the length of a single cable was not enough. All of this was thrown into wet snow. The consequences were sad. Moisture penetrated into the connectors. Telegraph pulses with voltage of plus/minus 60 volts led to corrosion of contacts. Interference that arose in the cables disrupted both telephone and telecode communications. To transmit telecode information in the ASU “Vozdukh,” telegraph apparatus was used. From the standpoint of communications, this too was barbarity, since equipment already existed that ensured transmission of pulse signals at a speed of 1200 bit/s. But the chief designer of the ASU “Vozdukh” had no time to delve into this problem: such communications decisions had been made by a Moscow institute, they were optimal. For the chief designer, “communications” was an inevitable evil with which one had to put up, and sometimes one could shift one’s sins and miscalculations onto “bad communications.”

@brutalny84 Great minds think alike, I had this primed for posting a few days ago

Had a dream where as a CIA operative, I informed the Soviets through back-channels of a rogue agent who was planning on assassinating various world leaders, and all I got back as a reply was this:

@19Katlo @Volke__ Succumbing to the well known West German typhoid outbreaks

@Volke__ Well the Soviet horde has other things to worry about like typhoid fever and hepatitis before they have to worry about fighting the US.

In hindsight i just want people to read this part, cuz it destroys so many “hehe dumb soviet hordes with shit equipment” myth’s instantly. And there’s no “muh soviet propganda” cope here.

Zagorsk Electromechanical Plant trying to justify "alternating hot standby mode" to NII-101 as the best solution for increased redundancy in Vektor-2s computing complex (they jammed two computers together and called it a day)

"Automation technology assumes the time-consuming formal-intellectual processes and thereby creates time for human beings to perform more important creative activities. Man and machine thus enter into new functional relationships, in which the positive aspects of both man and technology are utilized: from man, his universality, creativity, decision-making and evaluative ability; from the computer, speed, accuracy, memory capacity, and the ability to process large volumes of information."

@Laforiee @DoBoDird MiG-23 doubled as a cruise missile, it would expend all of its munitions, the pilot would then eject, and SAU would take over and crash it into a Belgian home, this is how the air war would have been won

@Combination_K @DoBoDird MiGochkin should have turned the 23 into cruise missiles since hitting houses in Belgium was it's specialty

Eagle meet flogger

@SigmaSigmaSing @Arthubers @RealAirPower1 They were taken out of service, some airframes still exist but not in a state where the aircraft are remotely functional or will ever become operable again

@Arthubers @RealAirPower1 @Combination_K Fair. I guess either scrapped or abandoned in some derelict military base that was abandoned in the 90s.

Check out this awesome lineup of MiG-27s from the 19th Guards Aviation Regiment, at Lärz, Germany (Circa 1993). While not produced in the same quantities as the MiG-23, nearly 1,100 MiG-27s were built, making it one of the most prolific jet fighter-bombers in recent history.

"Junior Sergeant Z. Fateeva, a parachute packer and an outstanding performer in combat and political training, successfully fulfills her duties. The parachutes, thoroughly inspected, dried, and repacked by her skilled hands, are always ready for action. Zinaida Fateeva herself is a master of parachuting. Her tunic is decorated with the “Master of Sports of the USSR” badge. This brave athlete has made over a thousand jumps. In the photo: Junior Sergeant Z. Fateeva. Photo by I. KURASHOVA."

@SlavAesthetics "Quantity has a quality of its own"

the Soviets had developed an aircraft that was stripped down only to its basic needs: a crew and its engine

@Volke__ Congrats, you deserve it!

5000 followers, im honestly quite dumbfounded to have so many people following me on this platform, and frankly don't really know what to say aside thank you all! There will be something promised 3000 years ago on a different milestone soon TM to celebrate this. Now to 10K? lol

Thank you ASURK-1MA S-125 fire control manual for this incredible line:

@SlavAesthetics Very clearly Kh-20

@Combination_K Su-9* fake fan

For anyone confused about the aircraft represented here, you can see Front-line Fighter "33" , Su-7, and La-150. Great work! 🔥✈️🤗
