WATCH two Russian Sukhoi fighter jets refueling mid-air in stunning POV-style. (VIDEO).
New footage provides a unique single-take shot of aerial refueling, performed by two Russian fighter jets during a training flight. It was filmed fully from the pilot’s point of view, from takeoff to landing. The cockpit video was shared by the military-themed Zvezda TV channel on Sunday. It shows a pair of Su-35 and Su-30 fighter planes refueling mid-air, while positioning themselves less than 20 meters away from an Il-78 air tanker. The maneuver was executed during a training flight in European Russia.
Cause the Russians can't afford to spill any fuel & Yuri drank most of it anyhow

Omg, just look at those old ass sukhois. I'd be personally embarrassed if my country flew these.

Steerable boom is alot faster and efficient. We still refuel our choppers with the 50's technology tho. Makes more sense at lower speeds from smaller platforms.
Well the bigger news is that Russia is ahead of the US in AI.

Boring

US Air Force uses a different system than the US Navy. USAF uses a boom. US Navy uses drogue. You subhumans are showing off something the US figured out decades ago. Educate yourself en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerial_refueling
your system is also inferior to what Russians developed.

I love Russia, great plane, great woman, great vodka.

>Su fighter >Still no drop fuel tanks >Too heavy to maneuver for full combat radius >Have to fly light because wings will rip off if heavy with fuel if pull more then 6g-7g >Combat radius halved because has to fly with half fuel load due to this design defect
When is Russia going to discover drop fuel tanks? Why does Russia hate Mikoyan so much when they built a superior aircraft?
Nathan Campbell
Stupid american. Better drop bomb than drop gasoline. Gasoline for Lada. Blyat.
Nolan Carter
That's cool.
Parker Butler
lewd

>check out this cool tech that we have Yeah, we made that in 1948, Ivan. Props to Natasha and Boris for stealing the blueprints though.
Fucking idiot.
Asher Butler
Agreeing with this one here. Drop tanks are the tits. One jet with 5 ARS pods can keep himself and his buddies going for a while. You don't need to worry about getting other sorties set up just for fuel.
>go watch this 30 minute clip instead or you know, you could just fucking summarize it.
In what way?
Starting to think you're just full of hot air
Jose Wright
my fucking sides, this is peak kino
Luke Peterson
Dem marginal gains
William James
US also releases these cheap propoganda vids. It's cool from a military enthusiast perspective but just lmao at any side thinking it influences any one of significance
Wyatt Martinez
Yeah, it's so advanced that it can get drunk after work.
The glue on the landing gear is still drying, dude. Nothing unusual.
Christian Mitchell
Why are not comersial flights refueling like that? Longer flights, no stops.

Russia STRONG!!!1~

Not cost effective to operate a fleet of tankers. Would also add weight and take up space to have the airliners plumbed for in-flight refueling. It's also a skill that takes a good bit of practice. With the drogues, you have to stab them with enough force to lock the probe in the receptacle. With straight boom refueling, it's a lot of short, sharp inputs to the flight controls that would probably make the back half of the cabin puke all over one another.

>shoots down your shitty mig from 250 miles away heh nuthin personal rusky
