I just love MiG's. Why? Because the ruskies just rawdogged everything. They saw the F16 with all that fancy fly by wire stuff and made a nimble MiG without any real computer assisted flying with the fulcrum. You have the fastest plane with the SR-71? Well fuck that, here , we've put an after burner on that MiG-31 so big it more or less matches the SR-71 speed. It just burns through the engine in one flight and the airframe also takes a big hit when you use it but who cares about costs, we're commies.

Soviet aerospace engineers man. You just have to love them. They really used that hammer logic (hit it harder!) on everything.

Or the approach which led to the hind heli. What? You need a gunship and you need a troop transport? What do you say, the Americans have pinpoint precision on that superCobra and that shiny Apache thingy?

Here, i've made it big so it can fit a lot of troops. I've added some large wings so you can fill her up with all kinds of low tech Rockets so you don't need pinpoint precision. Just point and click in the general direction and everything over there is annihilated. Yeah, that goes for that tank and that family of twelve 100m further down the street where you didn't aim at as well.

But, they aren't us anyway so.... And next to that the fucker is really fast for such a big helo..

The design principles are so fantasticly wack. Matching (try to) western computertech with low tech solutions.
