The Soviet Union lasted a mere sixty-nine years (the Spitfire has been flying longer), but in that time produced some of the largest, fastest, toughest and most agile aircraft. Even now, 25 years after its collapse, almost all Russian and Ukrainian aircraft have their roots in the communist super state. Favouring clever robust design over high technology and refinement, the Soviet approach enabled the mass production of cheap machines. Many of these were outstanding, but some - for reasons of politics, bad luck or incompetence - were diabolical. Let’s pack beer and vobla, and take a walk through the rusting graveyard of the eleven worst Soviet aircraft.

To be fair, the MiG-23MS was, for the most part, an export version of the MiG-23. The Soviets weren't particularly concerned about giving their allies the best equipment possible. It's also true that other variants of the MiG-23 may not have been "great", but it also incorporated many innovative design elements that just hadn't matured yet. I would argue that it was a useful step in realizing many of these technologies.

Based on the results of the tests, the management of TsAGI submitted its conclusion to the People's Commissariat of the Aviation Industry, after reading which the new People's Commissar of the Aviation Industry A. I. Shakhurin ordered the Silvansky Design Bureau to disperse, the prototype I-220 to be transferred to the MAI as a teaching aid for the aircraft engineering faculty (so that future aircraft the engineers knew how not to design), and the chief designer himself was prosecuted for sabotage. He was convicted, but not for wasting tens of millions of rubles on an unsuccessful project, but for taking a state-owned ZiS-101 car from the factory, which he used for his own needs and overturned into a ditch. Subsequently he worked for S.P. Korolev and designed lifting and transport machines.

@williestyle35 6 лет назад

@therightstuffAK 6 лет назад

williestyle35 the Alaska Airlines Boeing 737-200 that was donated to the Alaska Aviation Museum in Anchorage is equipped with air stairs that deploy from the rear port side of the plane. This is because that craft (and several others) were modified with features to operate on unimproved gravel runways in larger villages here in Alaska where there is little to no airport services just a gravel strip. They had these stairs deployed during the aviation festival last month to board and tour the plane.

@mikecimerian6913 5 лет назад

@Optical Clarity Actually I think that pooling all the research bureaus and labs under one single structure performs better as research spin-offs are available across whole industries. Well managed, it is the most efficient way to develop new systems once "off the shelves" ceases to be an imperative but true interoperability by eliminating non-productive redundancies while reinforcing positive ones. It has become clearer since 2010. My joke may be too obscure. Most of the best designers were interned at one time or another during this time period (1937-1941) and party card holders could not fit in their shoes.

@twotailedavenger 5 лет назад

Aww, you forgot the best part about the Tu-22: its maintenance crews were almost perpetually shitfaced. Because a majority of Tu-22s were stationed at bases within the Arctic Circle, the plane couldn't use standard hydraulic fluid as that would freeze in the subarctic temperatures. Instead, Soviet engineers had the BRILLIANT idea of using pure grain alcohol to provide hydraulic pressure. It's estimated that only 36% of the Tu-22 fleet would've ever been combat ready at a given time during it's service life, as so many mechanics were bleeding the bomber's hydraulics dry in relentless pursuit of getting CCCPlastered. Eventually, ICBM technology found its way east of the Iron Curtain, Soviet chemists invented a new antifreeze for hydraulic systems, and the Red Army Air Force cracked down on libations, sealing the fate of the Blotto Blinder.

If you download this as a sound file, then play it backwards, but at 2.5 times the original speed, then it sounds almost identical to the song Fields of Gold by Sting.

@andymadden8183 5 лет назад

The 737 does have an airstair, mounted underneath the L1 door. The 727 did also have a second airstair mounted in the same place.

I often dislike top ten lists, but enjoyed this. Your delivery, though somewhat bland and monotone, was conversational and amusing. You weren't trying to be a fake DJ or FM announcer. So many other narrators have an obnoxious sing-song delivery or they sound like they're reading from a script. You just sounded like a normal person, which I appreciate. (One thing: Watch out for pronunciation of words like "panoply.") I gave this a "like" and will watch more of your stuff.

Just imagine what the USSR could have done if they’d had Duct Tape or Super Glue!

“Ejection sears eject downwards” Do you even B-52? The 222 may have been shitty but to call things out on any aircraft that were successful in other aircraft is stupid. Also might I note that: 1. The Russian export models of pretty much any military hardware was stripped down hand-me-downs. 2. Po-2’s in NK.... 3. Russian doctrine typically wasn’t about caring for the common military person, it’s about how many bodies and machines you can throw at an enemy. I’m not even finished the video and yet I’ve already come up with all this so far, goes to show how little research was done on some of these entries. Also I don’t want to have to listen to someone who sounds like he’s reading a lullaby to get me to fall asleep for the duration of my viewing experience.

So the landing gear wouldn't fit into the Silvanski. The solution was Gulag for the entire design bureau.

TU-22 shots show at least two different aircraft: one with two inboard engines on the wings, and another with the two engines mounted at the tail.

2:38 actually the Tu-114 served until 1991 and even partially served within a Japan Airlines-Aeroflot partnership

It has potential to continue development with later model Tu-142 parts, but as a passenger carrier it's said to have major noise problems from the counter-rotating propellers.
