wrong. it did show up, but never got into mass produce, because the soviet union was collapsing when this was about to get produced massively, then Russian federation left the idea, and then the Russians made the Su-57, also this was ahead of its time :D
@@Cheese_point yes indeed, i was actually replying to the comment which said "Never left the blueprints" which i wanted to correct, yes indeed, there were tests done for that aircraft, i was talking about the economy of the soviet union in that time period, and how it affected the aircraft's manufacturing's.
I watched a U2 roll out and take off from an US Air Force Base in South Korea 1984. As soon as it was airborne it went almost vertical so as not to be spotted. Very cool!
Yeah title video is actually still technically accurate. They said _"gust"_ of wind, and not just the _highest_ winds ever recorded on Earth. (Tornadoes aren't just gusts of winds, but super complex mathematical marvel of atmosphere and vortex dynamics) If we're talking about the _highest_ winds ever recorded on the planet, then the 2013 El Reno & 1999 Moore/Bridge Creek Tornadoes easily take the cake with both having had recorded winds over 300MPH. Both also wielding *far* more destructive power since Tornadoes (and their central suction vortices) are naturally way more damaging than straight winds of the same strength and speed.
