If the very first sentence was true, communism would have started the industrial revolution instead of freedom in the USA. Sorry,---it would not have happened with out the USA, and russia has been an impoverished citizenry while people in the USA flourished with their minds, and their freedom. "Be Amazed" at all the dysfunctional things a communist government makes,, (usual copies or given or taken.). We did it better when we were free to do so. Your programmers are going to be amazed all right.
This is bs garbage and hypocrisy advertising.
Very creative and interesting BUT way too many ads.....
If there is one thing about the Russians that can't be denied, it is the fact they are a creative and resourceful people.
Resourceful? To waste gobs, and gobs of money of unworkable and laughable "technologies" is resourceful? That's the problem, these kinds of governments look at their citizens as a "resource".
@@palomarjack4395 I suppose you think our own govt hasn't thrown away gobs of money on ridiculous things?
Considering the US government still exists, I’d say we’re not doing as badly.
@@arynrowland862 Considering the Russian Government still exist, I'd say they're not doing as badly.
@@arynrowland862 ah yes... you clearly don't make a difference between solviet union and Russia. Anyway, speaking of existence, have you noticed that the US are the most indebt country in the world?

"once every 5 minutes"
i mean, one atomic shell shot out a giant sewer pipe with treads destroying entire battlefields is quite good every 5 minutes.
Yes but pushing a button to destroy it 1000 miles away is more effective

@@shorray One shot, you say. There's a vehicle, based on this prototype and still being in use.

Yeah, I think sending one nuclear bomb 28 miles away every 5 minutes is more than ample as things like that go.
@@nickbrutanna9973 So Those Tank Operators were on a Suicide Mission? I mean 28 miles away is not exactly far? How do they propose to escape the Fallout of the Nuclear Explosion in vehicle that moves at a snail's pace?
I love Soviet engineering. The created wonderful, crazy, brilliant equipment.
Fun fact, the military MAZ trucks are so reliable and good at transporting extreme loads through the hostile, muddy Siberian wilderness that they are still widely used as foresting vehicles.
THE U.SS.R.AND THEN RUSSIA HAVE ALWAYS COME OUT WITH WAY AHEAD OF ITS THEIR TIME FAR FLUNG FUTURISTIC DESIGN CONCEPTS THAT ARE TOTALLY GROUNDBREAKING AND REVOLUTIONARY AND LEAVE THE REST OF THE WORLD IN AWE AND ENVY
That's what I love about the Soviets:
If you can imagine it,
then you can build it.
Nothing is too much far-fetched
If you don't build it, they will come!
Crazy things are built all over the world. Look at "crazy" Rides.

Da comrade, in Soviet Russia big boom boom NEVER bad thing 👍
Blud thats longer than mine 😂
For the 2B1 Oka, the 2B1 Oka it's 420mm gun can also be replaced with a 406 mm gun that can fire. As for the Zvena Project, the Bomber used in the project is the (quite obsolete at the time) Tupolev TB-3 heavy bomber, the TB-3 is actually meant for strategic Bombing, btw, the TB-3 also carried the AN-40 which was FAR too heavy for the TB-3 to carry
It appears that with the collapse of soviet Russia we missed out on extraordinary innovation and technology.
The saucer and ekronoplans are something good
@@laszlokocsi1825 also the flying tank sounds fun
That was just paperwork & relabeling.
Another one falling for propaganda lol
p
Fun fact about the ekranoplan, it only used the 8 engines to get up to hovering speed, by which point only two of them were needed to keep it moving. It also hovered 4 meters (13 ft) above the water's surface, not inches.
It also couldn't hover
Also, 13 feet is 156 inches so.......... "inches above the water" :)
@@randomentity6553 And inches are not metric, so the normal world takes some table and tries converting that shit into normal units. And we need to buy your weird tools as well as the normal ones. Bloody expensive. Just saying.
Being conservative is okay, but you can stretch it too far. These ancient units cause trouble, when you talk to people who went to normal schools (these scientific units exist for many many many years, now) and use normal units in daily life, just because EVERYBODY dropped those weird Emperor things. Except for you. Wake up! The world is larger than just your country. When will you finally discover they have passed you? Your units are out dated. Admit it. Tools like a seven thirteenth of an inch wrench? You still divide those inches in weird numbers. How about going decimal? For real, you all live in a museum!
Woow
Except it couldn't hover. It exploited an aviation phenomenon know as ground effect that occurs when a horizontal wing surface is flown over reasonably smooth ground surfaces.
That ekranoplan is a genius idea. Undetectable by radar or sonar, it would've been a nightmare. Could've revolutionized the amphibious transport.
Not very compatible with stormy weather though. And you could only imagine how large was its turning arc. I think the only role it was good for was the short-range-rockets-carrying interceptor. But when the same result can be achieved with hypersonic rockets from ground-based launchpads or bomber planes, then it gets redundant. Still, it is a fun concept and a good-looking machine.
@@Tallorian a glorified troop and cargo transport then. But faster AND used only in certain situations
@@reynaldoandannieangnged6434 You need to take into account that not only it would be able to carry stuff solely between coastal places (preferably with a specialized docking infrastructure), but it would be very difficult to operate in areas with heavy naval traffic, because it's "flight" height is not enough to overpass even relatively small private boats, and its speed might make it very hard to avoid collisions.
Too many ifs and buts for a reliable military or commercial transport use.
Сейчас возрождают строительство экранопланов, но в гражданских целях. Это может стать очень полезной амфибией для большой страны и прекрасным примером инженерной мысли.
Nope. Susceptible to storms,incompatible with ship transportation (could for a while climb to about 40 meters, but couldn't hold it And had to dodge),susceptible to wind shear over land,very dangerous to fly when wave swell was over a few meters. In fact too dangerous for civilian use.
The long legged helicopter is quite similar to the Sikorsky CH-54/CH-64 Tahre/Skycrane.
Between WW1 and WW2 Britain and German also considered building large multi-turreted tanks.
The UFO plane needs a rebirth. Its a great idea. I think aerospace engineers need to have a look at it.
UFO planes are already in use ,what you are thinking that things in air are really aliens👽 😏.............
There is a reason why UFO design doesn't work.
Right after the csar tank
@@swamivardana9911 I think it works with hidden technology. Our government has tech hidden that would advance humanity by several decades. Internal combustion engines have been around for 120 years. Think nobody ever made one that got 100 mpg? I do.

5:09 That means the USSR technically invented the Aircraft carrier, as it had the same concept and idea modern-day carriers have.
Damn. I think these machines are making me wish the Soviet Union hadn't fallen so quickly.
OH SCHEIßE HANS GET MASCHINENGEWEHE
No, they didn't. Aircraft carriers were a thing long before Zveno project started.
Super interesting.
These MAZ (the "smaller" ones) trucks look practical. After a refresh of the design, these can even sell today. Not only to the military.
The Russians are mad genius. Much respect from 🇺🇲
Yeah, socialism will bring even more innovation and genius.
Most of it stolen from the Brits, the Yanks and the Germans...
@@rescyou sure, and blood transfusions, reanimation and life support was taken from the Soviets. Sharing inventions or taking them by force is a good thing, were the USSR to not share this groundbreaking medicinal knowledge you would probably not exist.
@@rescyou plus, like 70%-90% of the mentioned designs are purely Soviet designed and manufactured. I mean sure, tanks are brit invented things, but everyone uses them. planes are american but everyone uses them because they've been shared. Sharing and developing each others designs are what makes humans progress faster.
@@mikeetoo96 good one, considered going pro? Not many good comedians.
Great job at putting this together! Learnt a lot :)
The crazier thing was the mass popularity of technics, machinery and engineering in society in 1900-1970s. Magazines like Popular Mechanics were actually quite, well, popular in Soviet Union. And the Unoin published its own analogical magazines too. And it was just a part of a social ssytem which also included technical-oriented child clubs, youth societies, practical sections and home enthusiasts communities, educational materials, do-it-yourself kits, tech propaganda in literature, cartoons, movies, newspapers, and much more.
Nothing like this is to be seen since. Not even the "self-success" or "obey and survive" propaganda is that impressive.
Finally time to visit world's best inventors and engineers. As a Georgian (Georgia is a former Soviet Country), I feel huge amounts of nostalgia for Soviet Union.
I'm from Russia, I was born there. I was very little when my family moved to the US in 2003. I have been lucky enough to visit many countries, it interesting to see how the countries of the Soviet Union changed once it fell apart. My parents told me how bad the mafia was, and even how corrupt the cops were. This is why I think that so many Russians support Putin, he saved Russia. He took control and got rid of corruption and the mafia.

You got to be fair - most of the designs were ahead of their time, and those MAZ trucks loaded with ICBMs roaming the endless Siberian forests were making sure that US citizens were kept busy digging bunkers in their back yards, so you were saying about being crazy...
And by digging bunkers they burned excessive calories from all those burgers. 😃

What exactly?
-terroristing others
Everyone In the USSR as well as the puppet states had a good life. Terrorism was basically nonexistent as the Gov't knew a lot about every citizen and wouldn't allow terrorism to happen.
@Comrade then why do you have comrade in your name with a ushanka cheems? I've never seen anyone really slavic have that pfp.
@@canadianradiochemist4465 well I meant the state level, not individuals' level.
USSR continuously terrorised its neighbors, as well as own population.
What you had in mind was probably the period of 15-20 final years of USSR's existence, when it was something resembling a real socialism. However, let me remind you, USSR existed for about 70 years, and most of them were veeery far from a "good life".
Any extent of "good life" was limited time wise to approx. Brezhnev's ruling period, and only to those loyal to the regime (and to those unloyal, there were prisons and psychiatric clinics).
Tell about a "good life" to those multiple millions who perished during state invoked famines, mass deportations, red terror, mass killings, war crimes towards civil population, literally countless innocent victims of GULag, etc.
Also, tell about a "good life" to those many millions of peasants, who were effectively slaves, had no ID, no right of free moving, no real payment for their hard work, all the way until the end of 1960'ies.
Speaking about bullsh*tting, I meant state propaganda, again both inside and outside the country. Blatant, sheer, boundless. Nazis and Goebbels didn't invent state propaganda; they only borrowed it from the red comrades, just like concentration camps and other attributes.
These regimes were like twin brothers.
However, the big Nuremberg Trial is still to happen against the reds.
Anyway.... I listed a few largest aspects, but the subject is very wide, and impossible to cover well in a comments format.
As a jamaican, I love Russia and there engineering stills.

the MAZ is an amazing Lorry. I can remember the the sound of two v12 diesel engiens whych were sync. It was a great show to see the last troops leaving eastgermany in 1991. i still can hear the sound and smell the emissions.... this was lovely.
The AN-2 has a radial piston engine, not a turboprop. It's reliable old school powerplant is the main reason why the bi-plane is still in widespread use, even with several air forces today. Especially in harsh, cold regions the AN-2 can still be operated fine and failures are easily fixable.
Stub lower wings on biplane crop dusters create vortexes which improve the dispersion of whatever is being applied below. That is why the Australian Transavia PL-12 Skyfarmer is a biplane.
From i've heard, in some places it was like a bus
I believe it has won it a record in the Guinness book.
It's crazy that Antonov made over 1,000 of these planes for almost 60 years.
Actually , the latest version came with a turboprop engine.

Yeah, the cockpit of the millenium falcon was inspired by the B-29 Superfortress. This is pretty well documented and a minimal amount of research would have avoided that particular pitfall. But then again, if mixing up piston and turbine engines twice a minute is no concern then I guess the bar is set for ant pole vaulting. Go Formicidae!

the flying fortress seems so cool, but it would be even cooler if they could have a platform on the plane for soldiers to stand on aswell as barracks for paratroopers
The concept of the Ekranoplan would still be efficient if it worked properly:
I think you could fix the problem with it's gigantic turn radius by installing sideways oriented booster style engine on the front and on the back. So if the center of mass is in the middle it would cause an effectiv rotation. Just like a space-craft.... ?

5:02 This is the first flying aircraft carrier. It's actually a good idea. Saves fuel for the smaller craft which can engage in fights far into the enemy territory.
Actually I'd say the US Akron-class was the first flying carriers
Zeppelins had attachable fighter planes so they were the first flying aircraft carriers.
how do it save fuel? if i drove a car and towed another wouldn't mine use twice as much fuel?
@@jibicusmaximus4827 it saves fuel _for the smaller craft._
Since they’re made to be small and light they dont have alot of fuel, but carrying them into battle allows them to save the fuel they would use to fly to and from the airfield.
To use your towing example, if you towed another car then yes you’d use more fuel, but the other car wouldn’t use any.
And if the other car was a racecar with a small and light fueltank, you could put it inside a semi-truck and since the Semi doesn’t need to worry about being light and nimble on a racetrack it can have much larger fuel tanks.
Which means even tho it would use more fuel, then it wouldn’t have to stop to refuel on the way to and from the racetrack, while the racecar wouldn’t be able to make that trip on it’s own
@@ValentineC137 Perfect Analogy bud. I couldn't have said it better myself. The Zeppelin carried the single engine small fighter which on it's own wouldn't have the range for Atlantic Missions were made possible by making it a parasite craft.

The Mi 10 spurned another design that had much of the central fuselage removed. I watched it demonstrate at the 'Beehive Helicopter Base' at Gatwick Airport many years ago. Picking up coaches and heavy gear.
My main reason to admire Russia is, their budget on military is relatively small when we compare it to USA but it effectively creates new technology. Imagine if they have USA's budget on military,no one will be computed to them.
Comparing budgets in Federal Reserve currency is a big mistake...
A plane bolt in Russia costs the equivalent of 1 dollar, the same bol in the US counts 99 dollars...

This MAZ had an electric transmission: this is when ICE engine runs the electric generator and each axis has an electric engine.
@@Alexander-gh7kz
Essentially its diesel-electric like modern trains are, and some hybrid Diesel cars and trucks out there.
There different systems but what you describe is diesel engine runs a generator that in turn generates electricity to feed bunch of electric motors, the most common type is the one that uses electric engine aid for the diesel to remove the transmission, the electric motor acts like the transmission during low speeds for extra torque applications.
There are five evolution stages. The 7907 is the true FINAL FORM!!!!!
@20:05 - This version of The Kalinin plane looks awesome but it's self-evident that this monster could never have gotten airborne, it literally was a (non)Flying Fortress, complete with cannons.

No power plants, no airport, no major road, just a bunch of nuclear dust that stays on the ground until you stir it up.
Ukraine specialised in rocket building during the USSR times, and was also leading producers after 1991.
I guess much of the Russian space program (and military) relied on Ukrainian expertise prior to 2014?
@@lasseenevoldsen2021 It seems to me as though the Ukrainians may have been the primary ones to thank for a majority of the USSR's military technology & production.
“Screw propelled trucks”
Me: Wait won’t that move sideways
Not when the front and rear screws move in opposite directions, as they do.
@Raf Vnetu Watch the video. Both sides have 2 screws, one moving clockwise and the other moving anti-clockwise.
It can move sidways if the driver wanted to. There are tons of vehicles made with screws like that.
They’re threaded in the opposite direction as well though which is why that works
Nazi: *makes crazy gun*
Soviet: *MAKES DANGEROUS SHIP*
The MAZ trucks are used in a Russian developed gamed called Spitires, Mudrunner, and SnowRunner. Pretty sweet trucks!
I love the tech from the old Soviet Union...thanks for posting, wonderful video!
8:52 I like how they show b-29 construction
As per video warning: I am buckled in.
The owner of this car I just entered isn’t too pleased with me though, it would appear..
They are all insane nowadays with guided missiles from satellites, but at the time they were considered state of the art...
you can kill them,
but you cannot blind them.

Ypu have to pay pension to blinded soldiers, but no pension to dead ) Nothing personal, just business.
Funny thing is that the Zveno (literally meaning "chain link") really was referred to as "flying circus" amongst the military. BTW, the Oka, being a reactive mortar, had a brother called 2A3 Condensator (more like "compensator", lol), which was an actual 406-mm nuclear-capable self-propelled artillery cannon. A moving naval gun. Sick. But still not as sick as D-80 with 535-mm. I guess, it's about that time the soviets ran out of amphetamines produced during WW2, so the thing was never actually built. Living in Saint-Petersburg, Russia, I have seen some of those in the flesh, like the Oka or the 2K4 Filin ("Owl") missile carrier. A direct look kinda makes you glad they were never put to use.
Dude, seeing how HOT Russian women can be is all it takes to make me glad that the Cold War never went nuclear.
As someone who's sick of the world and sick of humanity and all its bullshit, it's hard to find reasons to be proud of humanity, or to even like it...
@@Raz.C They are hot, but hard. We have no crocs or rattlers here, so humans just took the niche, lol. Russian life kinda nibbles on your personality with time. As for feeling humansick, I find it rational to admire certain exceptional folks, while keeping armed neutrality with the rest of our species, hot chicks or whatever. If they need help, help. If they want to harm, retaliate, I guess, "do thy neighbor no harm FIRST" is my motto.
@Danglin' Bolas
Hey I love your comment. I think I am an advocate for the "tit for tat" way to social coexistence as well.
Have you read about Axelrod's tournament?
@@tacitozetticci9308 Well, now I have. Living in an age of Google sure is good. I find it kinda obvious that "defectionist" strategy impacts the whole system at long term. I mean, come on, even I figured that much. Good to know bigbrains did confirm my thoughts with an experiment. Of course, human society is incomparably more complicated than that, but "tit for tat" could be a good basis for modern day philosophy. Can't avoid the problem of conflict escalation, though. Knowing humans, I was thinking of something more like a nuclear parity between superpowers, achieved through small arms regulations. You can bribe a judge, but you can't bribe a bullet. Not gonna work anyway, but hey, just let me dream of my gunpowder-smelling utopia :D
@@danglinbolas5547 Of course we need to be careful because if we apply it universally, huge tits will produce huge tats
(yeah I'm kinda dumb)
Jokes aside, what I mean is: tit for tat works wonders for small adjustments as a tool for mutual education within societies.
But it becomes pointless and deleterious when instead of slight for slight, we trade tragedy for tragedy. That's not the point of it.
Amazing vids keep it up!
Fun fact, the VVA-14 makes an appearance in Metal Gear Solid 3, Snake Eater, as does a machine with screw propulsion like the ZVM
All these military equipment/vehicles are so cool and ahead of their time.
after the repression and genocide of millions of lives, you can do anything with a crowd of fools. but always all these civilizations flying in the clouds will die out from comfort and permissiveness....they will just stop having children) it's like charging a car with powerful nitre for a short time, but burning the engine to ashes....the Russians burned inside from this race of the 20th century... now it's your turn India and China...but you will survive an unheard-of repression and genocide
Those Maz military trailers are not crazy designs, they are quite useful for the terrain in eastern Europe, Maz vehicles are still used to tow tanks, pontoon bridges, nuclear missile complexes mobile to this day. The US has also adopted Maz's design to create HEMTT cars.
No matter how hard the past, you can always begin again.
The MIL MI-10 helicopter looks like as if it had a face and I can't unsee it anymore. Looks so happy while carrying stuff
