TY I wanted to know that word for a while.
russians surely have someone to look up to
America= smallest lightest thing you can build for said mission
Russia=POWER THRUST for said mission

no but seriously weight and power have this relationship where if you make something lighter it goes faster for the same amount of power.
>>30274218
nah it's more like russians make engines that last 1 third of the length of an equivalent american engine yet have 10-20% less thrust to weight.

Not saying Russian engines are better, but your post is meaningless.
Number of engines needed != usefulness of these engines.

It's not the aircraft, it's the vodka. Seriously, look up degrees of injuries in serious crashes, comparing drunk people to sober people. Drunk people get hurt less severely. Unfortunately drunk people cause more in number, cause more in severity, and avoid less accidents too.

OP claimed the planes were reliable. If you had to buy your car with three spare engines, and completely replace it every 20,000 miles and send the older one back to the factory to rebuild it for you would you really call it a "reliable" car?
