takes stock of the incredibly crazy weapons of the Soviet Union! In the last issue of
, we saw four "crazy" weapons designed by the Soviets. In this video, we continue to see what other "crazy" designs the Soviets have.
MI-10 helicopter
This helicopter with "long legs" is the famous MI-10 helicopter, which was designed and built by the Soviet Union in the late 1950s.
At that time, the MI6 with a load capacity of only 13 tons could no longer meet the Soviet Union's needs for carrying large cargo. Based on the mi6, designers designed the MI10 helicopter with long legs.
mi10 has a lighter body structure and a larger loading platform, allowing it to carry up to 15 tons of odd-shaped equipment.
With those long, lanky legs, the mi10 is almost nine meters tall. As shown in the video, whether it is a bus or a truck, as long as it does not exceed the load weight of the mi10, it can easily carry them soaring in the sky.
In the ten years from its design and construction in 1950 to 1960, the Soviet Union built a total of 55 mi10 helicopters, and some of them were still in use as of 2013. Spanning half a century, mi10 is still unwilling to be buried in the long river of history.
I think, no matter when, "long legs" will never go out of style.
If it were you, would you want to sit on the bus and let it fly around with you? I think this feeling must be amazing.
K-84 Yekaterinburg
From 1950 to 1997, the Soviet Union and later Russia built a total of 245 nuclear-powered submarines.
In 2011, the ballistic nuclear submarine K8.4 stayed in the dock. This nearly 168-meter-long giant was completely exposed to people's sight.
This K8.4 was built in 1982. It is powered by two nuclear reactors and can carry up to 16 nuclear bombs.
During a previous renovation, the nuclear submarine had a fire. If the firefighters had not extinguished the fire in time, another nuclear disaster would undoubtedly have erupted.
You must know that there were still four nuclear bombs stored in the burning nuclear submarine at that time. If it exploded, it would cause a nuclear accident comparable to the infamous Chernobyl nuclear accident .
" Caspian Monster "
One of the most unusual aircraft of the Cold War or any era has to be the Caspian Monster.
The Caspian Sea Monster is nearly 40 meters long and has a wingspan of about 43 meters wide. It is not wrong to call it a "monster".
Have you seen the several large turbines on its wings? You may think these are its engines, but it is actually a hybrid ship-machine hybrid.
The "Caspian Sea Monster" cannot soar in the sky like an ordinary airplane, nor can it drive directly on the sea like an ordinary ship.
It mainly relies on the ground-wing effect. When it travels in the sea, its specially shaped wings and the water below will form a powerful air cushion, allowing the entire aircraft to float on the water.
has eight powerful hybrid engines. This behemoth can speed on the sea at a speed of 540 kilometers per hour.
With such a large body, the loading capacity of the "Caspian Monster" is certainly not small. It is understood that its huge body can carry more than 110 tons of cargo and ammunition.
It can be said that it not only has the flying speed of an airplane, but also has a loading capacity similar to that of a ship.
Did you see the six protruding cylinders on its back? You thought it right, these are official missile launchers.
No matter who you are, you will feel frightened when faced with such a huge "monster".
Unfortunately, with the first "Caspian Monster" entering service in 1987, only four years later, with the disintegration of the Soviet Union, no other models of "Caspian Monster" were put into service.
Soviet flying saucers ekip
UFO I don’t know whether they exist, but Soviet flying saucers do exist.
The most eye-catching thing about this flying saucer is its dome shape. With its powerful turbojet engine , this strange flying saucer can take off on land or water by air cushion flight.
If the final disintegration of the Soviet Union had not caused EKIP to cease production, we might have seen one more type of aircraft at the airport today.
If it were you, would you want to take a ride?
If these weapons cannot fully reflect the "imagination" of the Soviets, then the weapons appearing in the next issue will definitely surprise you.
please pay attention, we will see you in the next issue
