More Loud Planes, This Time Russian
May 15th, 2007A few weeks back I posted an entry about the loudest aircraft of all time. The discussion centered on U.S. and British planes, though I briefly alluded to their Russian counterparts. As a sort of continuation of that post, I just thought I would post some stuff I have come across on Russian military planes. Firstly, this YouTube clip of Russia’s big three bombers, the Tupolev 160 (Blackjack), Tupolev 95 (Bear) and Tupolev 22M (Backfire). Also, this YouTube clip shows a Sukhoi 47, an experimental supersonic jet fighter with wings swept forward, making for a cool, technological design.
By the way, has anyone reading this post seen any Russian military aircraft live? I have, but only once, and that was a Sukhoi 27, back at an airshow in the early 90s.
