Its national vanity project for Putin and vatBlack person public.

Well I would post more glamour shots, but I started to get some weird fricking results looking for Tu160 images, so I think I'll just agree with you anon and close that tab. : /

Fun fact: Notice that reddish yellow exhaust? The engines compress the air fuel mixture so intensely, the exhaust contains an extremely high amount of red fuming nitric acid. The SU-57 exhaust does as well. Those engine give the strangest and unnerving howl when you hear them.
US chopped up a shit load of planes too.
A bunch of F-111s and B-52s cut up and layed out for russian satellites to take pictures of. All part of the agreement.

Oh no.
Those are refurbs.
I don't think russia even uses 160s much, all cruise missile raids on Ukraine in recent memory were Tu-95s.
Why is there a huge puddle on the "factory" floor?
It’s not that huge, the perspective is off. Look at the black blotch in the lower inmate on the left, the photographer drives to take an artsy photo by going on the floor and use the reflection to make image look nicer.
Or I could be mistaken and Russian hangers are wet and rainy messes like the old Goodyear blimp facility.

He's literally never been in a supermarket. He was a millionaire paid by billionaires to sedate and indoctrinate the population, and you think he did his own shopping?
Are the 2 floor supermarkets and the trolley coin-slot not used in America or was that just a symptom of Tucker being an elite and not buying his own food? They are fairly common here in the UK. >It's one banana, what could it cost? 10 dollars?
Most supermarkets in America don't use coin slots, you just take a cart when you enter and drop it off when you leave. To my knowledge the only coin slot place is Aldi, which is German-owned. Most supermarkets are also just one floor (although that's more than enough, these places are huge).
Same here, coin-lock was common before, but now you just take a trolly and park it when done. Only people who has coins these days are old people and romanian beggars.
Aldis is for turbo poorgays, even Winn-Dixie doesn't make you bring your own bags and put a coin in for a shopping cart. >lives next to both

The main reason I go to lidl instead of aldi is that the meat's better there, at least where I live.
Cheap stuff is cheap, and it's not half-bad quality.

Aldi is fricking amazing though. You're literally moronic for not going to them. Maybe it's different in USA but in Europe, Aldi is pretty much consistently better than everybody in price and quality. Lidl used to be but they went downhill fast. Still fine in the continent but shit in the British Isles.

I mean Aldi's products aren't all good, but once you find good shit, they're better than everybody else (without paying x5 the price for 5% better). But yeah USA is a lot different to Europe, you guys have loads of local/state shit that probably does stuff better/cheaper. Aldi USED to be terrible, but it took about 5-7 years for them to come around and do proper stuff - at least here.

I think its hardwired into women after the hormone change of their first birth.
My wife and I used to shop at hyvee, Costco, or a high end local store called wholner's.
After the first kid she only goes to Aldi's or Walmart, even though Hyvee is 3 blocks from our house and you can walk there vs driving to other stores. And if I go myself she freaks the frick out about the cost and her grocery list and sales, even though it's within 20 bucks of what we would spend at the cheaper stores. And we don't want for money even on one income since we both agree kids shouldn't be moron daycare tribals.
The only reason to add a second floor is if you can't make the first floor any bigger. Otherwise, a second floor is simply more expensive, plus you have to figure out how customers are going to get up and down with their loads.
Same here, coin-lock was common before, but now you just take a trolly and park it when done. Only people who has coins these days are old people and romanian beggars.
Still widespread in Germany. Most supermarkets will hand out plastic tokens that fit into the slot if you ask at the information or cashiers.

Actually just straight up cold-war propaganda. I suspect it's part of his deal to get interviews. Like yes you can interview our leader but you have to walk around and say how good our stuff is. This is Tucker though, he's pathetic enough that he might just being doing it for free. Apparently blue hairs existing in your country is enough of a reason to promote the enemy.
You have obviously never worked in aviation. It's actually rare to find a hangar that doesn't leak water. From the tiny T-hangars all the way to 6-bay wide body hangars. They all leak.
>You have obviously never worked in aviation
And you obviously worked for a beyond fricked company/unit if standing water was at all acceptable in your hangars, especially with active ACs being stored there and fricking PA coming through for pictures. Of course everything leaks, but having the Caspian Sea chilling out in your hangar is unacceptable. Have a 747 for my trouble and get a fricking squeegee and get to work wherever it is you’re employed.
Hey man, I work for the USAF. Gonna be real with you chief, the hangers fricking leak. Especially at bases where the hangers are 40+ years old.
Standing water happens, and those aircraft look like they were just washed. So that could be residual water from the wash. I cant fault the slavs for that. However, I can fault them for even attempting to construct or maintain these strategic bombers in 2024 when their GDP could be better spent on their air and ground forces.
>So that could be residual water from the wash
You can when they took some old aircraft, removed the tail numbers, washed them and then pretended they were brand new airframes.

Pressure washed the old Tu-160s to present them as new production after a little tail number editing. Russia might not be economically as communist as the Soviet Union but they use the same playbook for propaganda.

Gross-vidania fellow filthy Mongoloids. Praise Monke!
the production process for Russian tanks and airframes goes like this: >find an old Soviet hangar >bust the padlock off the door
in that sense, it is a factory
Like 12 years ago I visited Cyprus (Greek island in the Eastern Mediterranean) and one of their major grocery stores there was CareFour. It was the first time I’ve ever been exposed to that which is supposedly a normal European shopping experience — or maybe just a French experience, I dunno. I was utterly culture-shocked at how you had to go to a separate place for labeling your groceries (like produce and bakery items iirc) and checking out. Even now I wonder if I wasn’t just hallucinating…
I've been to Carrefours in France and Spain, no separate check out. You do have to weigh your veggies yourself but they've started to move away from that lately and now most cashiers have a built in scale in their post.
The stuff Tucker was being amazed at was fairly standard Euro supermarket stuff for the last 20+ years, made me wonder where the frick he shops (Likely he doesn't)
These people legitimately have no idea how much normal foodstuffs actually cost.
He'd be probably amazed by the prices in a US supermarket as well, because his only point of reference for grocery prices are menu prices when eating out.

God I wish at least one of those shits gets downed by a missile.
i can't even look at a picture of a tu-160 without fantasizing about this.
Factory which doesn't make these planes anymore
Because lost Soviet tech :DD
I...is...is that jet fuel on the ground? Are they polishing the floor with jet A?
Well, it’s Russia so it wouldn’t be Jet A, it’d be TS-1
Like 12 years ago I visited Cyprus (Greek island in the Eastern Mediterranean) and one of their major grocery stores there was CareFour. It was the first time I’ve ever been exposed to that which is supposedly a normal European shopping experience — or maybe just a French experience, I dunno. I was utterly culture-shocked at how you had to go to a separate place for labeling your groceries (like produce and bakery items iirc) and checking out. Even now I wonder if I wasn’t just hallucinating…
I've been to Carrefours in France and Spain, no separate check out. You do have to weigh your veggies yourself but they've started to move away from that lately and now most cashiers have a built in scale in their post.
The stuff Tucker was being amazed at was fairly standard Euro supermarket stuff for the last 20+ years, made me wonder where the frick he shops (Likely he doesn't)
>Likely he doesn't
These people legitimately have no idea how much normal foodstuffs actually cost.
He'd be probably amazed by the prices in a US supermarket as well, because his only point of reference for grocery prices are menu prices when eating out.
>Greek island in the Eastern Mediterranean
Which is half Turkish and part British.
friendly reminder to all subhumans
>t. cart monkey
You don't grease your carts wheels you deserve to chase them down the hill. That's why good parking lots are on an incline to give you a nice workout.
Will I spot mirrors if I look too closely at this one like you could with the Lancet factory?
I'm wrong...sorry...hangars look similar
seach said Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum
>The wider the deposit, the bigger the cope
Thank you for your words of wisdom, Hino-san
the puddle might be an attempt at recreating the reflective effect of the hangar floor coating
nice storage you have there. Would be a shame if some unscheduled accidents happen there
Is it supposed to be that empty?
This is from the field trip the Putin clone took last week.
Didn't something blow up in Kazan since then?
Imagine if Ukraine got Patriots earlier and they sent a couple flying above Azovstal.
Why is there is massive puddle on the floor?
>he doesnt know
>Russian troops killing themselves in Ukraine
>America holding foam parties for its helicopters
Not just helicopters.
don't smoke near the fire detectors

This is what an actual military aircraft production line looks like.
Damn look at them all. That makes me diamonds.
B52 production line in the 1950s.

Is there supposed to be a puddle that large inside the hangar?
What is the puddle going to do?
those Tupolev Tu-160's look nice
