Helicopter tows plane

Children often ask something like “Mommy, who would win - helicopter or plane?”. Those guys from Moscow could give the answer easily to such a question showing how powerful helicopters are - they easily can move whole planes from place to place.

      I take it that’s a Mil Mi-26, i.e. the world’s largest production helicopter? Pretty cool. :)

      Russians so poor that they have enormous helicopters :D, poor russians

    4. madachode says:

      Why is that gypsey writing on the side of the helicopter? I thought that gypsey’s were not allowed to touch helicopters

    5. Jason says:

      Is this a Aeroflot Soviet Airlines plane?

      There is no Russian flag on the tail!

    6. Z says:

      “for trainings” written on that plane, and that chopper has a rescue service signs. So i bet that plane uses for trainig in any emergency situations.

    7. Jerika says:

      I do not think all Russian planes have a flag on the tail.

      This does look like a training exercise.It is good that Russia does this!

    9. What an neat sight, Russian helicopters are awesome. From a distance it must have looked quite confusing.

      Yet again outstanding shots in englishrussia. Look how giant is that chopper, I guess a void plane without machinery is not so heavy as it could seem to be.

      Miss India: attract your fingers sth else instead of a keyboard, please..

      Now thats pretty crazy. There are people right underneath that plane as it is being carried away. What would happen in a cable were to snap.

    17. lesha111 says:

      Yep, this is a helicopter of EMERCOM (Emergency Control Ministry) of Russia. The plane is carried for training purposes. EMERCOM now has almost a full range of training objects from buildings to planes. As they claim, the only thing which is still needed is a subway train with a tunnel :D. That makes EMERCOM one of the most experienced and trained rescue organisation in the world, which helps in rescue operations around the globe with its technics and specialists.

      You retard, that`s not Moscow, it`s Saint-Petersburg. This plane was out of guarantee, so Pulkovo decided to present it to emergency services, so they could train on it. I`ve seen in my window, because i work here, and that was really awesome. It took them a lot of time to get the plane in the air.

    20. BonnieBarko says:

      the cccp built the largest helicopters. I remember a picture of an actual plane just with rotors on each wing.

    21. Timmy says:

      russian choppers do have quite a different look than american helicopters, pretty interesting.
