Abandoned Russian airplanes

Writing by admin on Friday, 3 of August , 2007 at 3:28 pm

An unusual article caught my attention on Digg yesterday. It featured a website with pictures of old abandoned Russian aircraft. The pictures seem to tell a story of a long-gone era when everybody feared nuclear attacks and when the Berlin wall divided Europe into two areas of influence.

These airplanes were once top of the line, and a part of the proud air fleet of the Soviet Union, yet their lives are now over, their “guts” have been removed and their destiny is now only to sit in the sun, and watch history unfold itself.

Or you can see the pictures in more detail by clicking on the thumbnails below:

The russian aerospace technoogy was very advanced and reliable.
The russian including ex-soviet states must revivie the aviation industry and start production of aircrafts as well as helicopters and meet international standards to provide excellent serivcesa as well technology to the world and compete other aviation industires. World without aviation is in-complete.
