Flying the TROUBLED RUSSIAN Built Sukhoi Superjet! 

Yes I would fly it. It looks clean and comfy.

Russia and China - the "enernal emenies" 😅 We need more reportes like Josh to break the prejudices 😊

Yes, I certainly would. Many Western aircraft have had problems in the past, including Boeing, Lockheed, De havilland, McDonnell Douglas - the West has slated Russia and China since I can remember (I'm 63). However, things have changed and Russia and China should be proud of their achievements in the aviation sector. The Sukhoi Super Jet did suffer in the early days, but that seems to be properly sorted and since those events, there must have been thousands of uneventful flights, using the equipment. Let me say, I'm very fond of Russian people. Here, where I live, in Varna, Bulgaria, many Russians live here too and around 50% of Bulgarians support Russia, as a country - I do and I'm British. And just to add to that, before anyone accuses me of not knowing what I'm talking about, my wife is half Russian. As you rightly say, Josh, the only difficult thing relating to sanctions, is having to carry cash, but life in Russia, otherwise, is pretty good. I follow other YT channels of expats in Russia and they're all loving the country. Love your videos, keep up the good work Josh!

Джош изменился после России )) Жаль, что не полетел куда-нибудь во Владивосток или Южно-Сахалинск.

Bravo for you for being neutral in your reviews. I was looking forward to fly superjet when it flew for cityjet and brussels airlines. Unfortunately, it wasn't to be

I really doubt you worked for Boeing

We would like to fly with this Sukhoi Superjet100, but honestly we have fear to enter this plane. So many bad reviews in the Internet regarding this plane. Till now our decision is NO. Too much fear.

I completely support you. Russia is not simply different from what the Western media tells, its literally another reality from what they tell. There are still some problems with smaller cities (although they improve rapidly as well) but Moscow and Saint Petersburg are just the two BEST cities in the whole of Europe and probably among the top-10 best in the whole world.

I bet it's very beautiful and the people are nice but it's just not the safest place to be right now because of a certain guy who likes wars.

@@FinlandGuy747 "Because of a certain guy who likes wars" could describe MANY leaders of MANY countries, including my own, the US.

@@LadyBeyondTheWall I know and agree but we both know who im talking about

I felt the same way as I got to know China better. The perspective in the West on China is skewed and quite hypocritical. A lot seems to actually be transference.

most of the technologies were stolen, but ok. Even airplane design was look-a-like

@GoodFella-wi7gw That's propaganda. Of course there were some good engineers, but initially, the technologies were stolen or bought.

SSJ is more suitable for Rossija, than Aeroflot. Aeroflot is waiting new IL-96 models

😂😂😂

Yeah, but being RuSSia, sadly someone else will take the credit.

Babushka means Grandmother right?? Is it a common word in Polish and Russian?? I heard this word from a Friend of mine who is Polish.

@@MrZlocktar Russian Service - Best service in the world (sorry, my english bad)

lol. what else? No one needs your mir card that sponsors war and sells data on a black market. Also, it's almost impossible for foreigners to retrieve money back from your "peace" card

@@MrZlocktarI think you will find that the majority of people in western nations are against this sort of thing. That’s why there is a pushback against card only use

Now explain how to connect that card to an account in a Western bank. Otherwise it is a classic suitcase without a handle for a Western tourist.

Good Point!

Honestly, i'd probably feel far safer flying either a Russian or Chinese made jet over any jets built by Boeing (for the time being 😂).

@@justarandombirdlol same

​​​@@justarandombird when a company is run by bean counters rather than engineers like it used to be no surprises that boeing has become a third rate joke. Not to mention being in bed with the FAA. I'd gladly fly on a c919 or a mc-21 or superjet. Time to break up the (almost) Airbus Boeing duopoly

Yes, the safety concerns about the SSJ100 appears to be entirely undeserved. According to the Wikipedia entry, it's been involved in 4 accidents, and at least 3 of them are entirely due to external causes, of which 2 are about pilots disregarding safety. And it's questionable if the fourth one has anything to with flaws in the plane itself. No, I'm not Russian. 😊

true 🥲

Russians are very emmotional and Patriotic people they feel the sourness in their heart when they hear something bad about anything related to their Country. As Indian I can too fell what she must have felt at the very moment when she heard the word SANCTIONS. Just like any Indian feel when the word SCAM is associated with India even if they have nothing to do with that or they may also be against that but.....

They already have sanction for many years😂😂😂

Quite controversial Josh can be sometimes. He said, one can only book a direct flight from the russian airport to europe through Serbia, yet he is there booking a direct flight to europe through Turkiye. How is that possible Josh?.. 🤔

@@4evertrue830 by booking directly with the airline

However this airframe is garbage. Aeroflot’s (still the largest user by some margin) fleet manage less than 25% availability and every airline outside of Russia that had them either returned them or just stopped using them as they were so unreliable, as did two Russian airlines. Interjet in Mexico actually went bankrupt because of the issues caused by this airframe.

​@@sonorbloke this is exactly what he's talking about. You'll provide no sources for these claims will u? All mindless hate

Many components from Russian and Chinese are direct rip-offs from the West. That needs to be remembered. Other than that, it's great to see.

@@sonorbloke You’re 100% correct, however, these folks are just “Haters”. Haters will just hate. Remember what they say, “If you put enough “thrust” on a crane, it will fly too”. SSJ is and was a disaster. That’s why Aeroflot gave them to Rossiya. The CPSM, due to the high fuel burn rate, makes this aircraft unprofitable in the “West”, but if you have access to unlimited fuel, then there’s no problem.

I am never going to told who is my “enemy’ by jackass Biden and the MSM.

Russia also doesn't have parts for the vast majority of their planes which has resulted in over 70% of them being grounded and also numerous accidents... But sure, worth it for the supermodels to you I guess

​@@ATLPtrk70%😂

@@diceshard2436 pretty common knowledge the sanctions have destroyed Russian aviation. Even Josh, ya know the guy who’s videos your watching, has spoken about planes being grounded and many torn apart for spare parts to keep others going….

@@ATLPtrk yeah, he said that, and he also said that we steal planes, although he just didn't understand what he read in the news, and at the same time he told how we build our new planes and how Iran has been coping with sanctions for several decades and they don't work. Don't you see how every his statement contradicts the other? It seems to me that people who listen to western mainstream media develop schizophrenia. Of course, we have problems after the sanctions, but they result only in higher prices for air tickets, because spare parts can be purchased in third countries through parallel imports and what about new planes - we build them. I have a lot of friends studying in different cities here, and I also did (graduated a year ago), and we all flew and still fly by planes. Except for the price, nothing has changed. The only time I had problems was when, due to hail in my city, I had to land in the neighboring one. And Josh's flight was canceled due to weather conditions too, because he decided to fly around Russia in the winter in -20°C - a very smart thing to do. So I can assure you, there are difficulties, they result in an increased prices, but this doesn't mean that 7 out of 10 of our planes do not take off, this is absurd

Russia has country filled with supermodels

Thanks for the great flight and nice seeing you here - all the best 😊

Oh, that’s you??? Wow!!

@@JoshCahill im glad that u respect all countries and all peoples we are Citizen of this planet

Evgeniia and Alisa were def top notch. I noticed they were showing lots of interest, I wonder why 😉🔥💯

Russia is a terrorist state

Especially considering that it has been building them for over 100 years now and has been actually pretty good at it.

@@yurikozhokin8348 There is a big difference between a military aircraft or a civilian one. For a civilian, payback, cost of operation, and seating capacity are very important.

@@ningtanagrey9141 Russia has been building civilian aircrafts for 100 years now. All on its own, no outsourcing to the rest of the world. Yeah, they were were not the best economically, but they did the work and did it well.

Easy: certification barriers to protect EU/US products. A plane consists not only of a fuselage and an engine. There are many systems inside that need to be checked and certified to allow a plane fly over other countries. So there's no sense to invent something from scratch for a plane and spend years waiting for certification. Everyone uses main modules from well known producers. So a SSJ-100 was the same. Russian body and interior with foreign engine and avionics. It's the shortcut to certification. Same for cars. Creating a product from zero takes time and your first one should not be as good as the one from the world's leader. But it can work

''competition breeds a better product?''...y'know I'd like to think so too, until some manufacturer starts cutting costs and corners to meet the price advantage of another.

maybe but it's the people of that country that are dying and killing in Ukraine so no sympathy for anything or anyone in russia

@@planestrainsdogsncars4336at least you got a cheaper price?😂

По-моему, ты не понял суть видео /: Но с коммента поржал, спасибо

@@user-wr7kx1ye4r Я все понял. Лет 15 все понимаю. Читаю, что они пишут, слушаю, что говорят. И даже тут, вроде адекватная позиция, что другие тоже могут делать вещи, но снисхождением прямо воняет. И так во всем. Танки - старые советской эпохи, будто абрамс 21 века, корабли союз старые и ненадежные (и в сериалах, и в сюжетах, и в видео на ютубе), и плевать, что американские космические программы убили вдвое больше людей, чем союзы. Вот именно это и есть пропаганда, где эмоции, представления и стереотипы определяют отношение, а не факты. Я уже не говорю про то, что запад закрыл свои рынки, но захватывает чужие. Если кто-то где-то что-то делает, что угрожает их доминации - сразу санкции, квоты и тд. Я с иностранцами и вживую наобщался, и никогда не покидало ощущение, что общаюсь с инфантами. Кругозор, эрудиция, практические знания - все на уровне подростков. И эго как у подростка. Высокомерие и всезнайство, не подкрепленное ничем. Говорить про суперджет на фоне еженедельных новостей и скандалов с боингами, смертью инженера, дававшего показания, - просто верх наглости. Так что я теперь им подыгрываю. Ты же не споришь с городскими сумасшедшими. Ты с ними соглашаешься. Так и тут.

@@user-pl5cf3xv7m честно говоря в этом видео я не заметил какого-либо снисходительного отношения, особенно, если посмотреть другие видео на этом канале. Напротив, он похвалил самолёт и осудил тех, кто делает, как Вы описали. Касаемо бесед с иностранцами, видимо просто мы общаемся в разных кругах. Не могу сказать, что мои знакомые Европейцы узколобые и находятся на уровне подростков. Да, их кругозор меньше, чем, например, у меня. За других я говорить не могу, привожу только свой опыт. Но при этом в сфере их деятельности они действительно являются профессионалами и знают очень много всего. А то, что танки, корабли, ракеты старые - так это просто пропаганда, как-будто у нас её никогда не было. Большинство людей или слишком глупы, чтобы строить своё мнение на информации, которую можно получить из разных источников, или слишком ленивы для этого. Для таких людей самый простой вариант просто следовать тому, что говорит им среда их жизни. Тут дело в том, что с уличным сумасшедшим спорить действительно нет смысла. Также и обсуждать какую-либо технику с людьми, которым СМИ их стран говорят, что она ужасна - смысла нет.

Мужик, видео месячной давности, всех этих новостей с боингом еще не было в таком масштабе!

Those stewardesses must have found it as a bad joke, that a european ist coming to russia to test the airlines, while so many russians try to get out of the country and leave the opressive police state system, where you can´t even raise a blank paper without spending at least one night in jail. At least they are leaving a good impression to theier superrior officer in this video, so they probably are keeping their jobs. Making a smile to that really bad situation.

When the Chinese living on Taiwan cried out for freedom... They were met with elections, and the Republic of China became a nation of the People!!!!

oh nice! bummer i missed that, basel is pretty much my home airport😵

They can but are they safe? 😂 Not really

Finally someone said it.

they are more safe than boeing 😊​@@jounaas

They can but it’s a simple fact that their aviation technology always relied heavily on Western technology. Oh, and the Russian Space Shuttle never flew btw ;)

@@jounaas actually there were no incidents with these planes related to mechanical failures, not a single one. The crashes mentioned in the vid are all because of pilot mistakes.

In Indonesia, the pilot ignored the TWAS of the aircraft... which should have raised him some concerns (when you hear "Terrain, pull up!" you should, first, PULL UP and than try to see why you got the warning), regarding what the controller was telling him. This showed that Russians actually made a plane with good safety systems on board, but the test pilot just thought himself better (or he didn't trust his plane... even if he had on board representative from companies interested in buying the plane).

Agreed

👍

Agreed, if anything the product of Indigo and service of Aeroflot, and some Chinese airlines are much better than Western analogues in my experiences.

Nothing compared to RU-vid. Cept now they just put you in RU-vid jail for 24hours
