Thank you for not using music for the entire video, its nice to hear the natural sounds like when the mechanics were getting the Mi26 ready for flight!
Amen
Yes indeed.
Natural implies from nature. There is nothing natural about this, lmao
@@ZOMGitsKENNYyou're missing the damn point smh
Come to think of it, absolutely. Ambient sound for most videos is what is really needed.
Those Maintenance mechanics are some real super heroes in my opinion. To know every part of that machine and make sure that everything is 100% precise and working perfect is amazing in itself.
Yupp! I hope they pay those boys handsomely because many lives and missions are at stake, being rewarded highly will surely have them check for specs of dust in areas I wouldn’t think of.
Byś się bardzo zdziwił, gdybyś znał prawdę o tych mechanikach. Zostali wyuczeni robić wszystko według instrukcji. Większość z nich jest po kilku miesięcznych kursach na dany typ samolotu i zostali przeszkoleni do wykonywania tylko kilku określonych czynności. Dobry mechanik lotniczy musi mieć lata doświadczenia i mieć do tego dryg i zamiłowanie (talent and passion). Oraz licencję na każdy typ samolotu który obsługuje. Licencje są podzielone na różne kategorie.
I have a son in law who works in the USAF and is a fighter jet maintenance engineer. You are absolutely right. He talks of the huge maintenance manuals and how many hours are spent on keeping a fighter air ready compared to every hour in the air. The pilots get the glory, but really, the engineers are the unsung heroes.
Truly amazing how older aircraft can also be used with newer aircraft. Just imagine what we will have in another 100 years. Can't even fathom such abilities... Thumbs Up!
The tail rotor looks like it can be used as the main rotor on a normal helicopter 😂
It actually is the size of a Hughes/MD 500 main rotor.
@@wanderschlosser1857 Cool! It even has the same number of blades!
@@wanderschlosser1857 For real? 😮

I remember when an American Chinook was damaged and couldn't fly and they (not sure who "they" are) sent one of these to fetch it. It carried that Chinook all the way to the home base. Seeing the Chinook dangling below this giant gave a real size comparison. Quite a sight to see
Осенью 2009 года этот Чинук поднял и нёс 110 км до авиабазы в Кандагаре вертолёт Ми-26 русской транспортной компании "Вертикаль-Т". Командир экипажа Валерий Лихачёв. Для экипажа это обычная ежедневная работа.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed. It is the only thing that ever has.
3:05 I love the camo - green - flowers pattern of the pilot seats. They looks very cozy like my grandma chair.
what a crazy process of starting! you turn on the apu and it starts. wow!!
I thought It was only me. Just more deceit from you toob and company
LOL! 😆 So true!
Yup... totally spaced on the interesting stuff.
in Russia, Helicopter starts you.
Note: 0:35 Huge Smashed Pipe (Under the Word "Aircraft")
Going Out Of The Engine, Is No Problem For This Beast...
This Helicopter is a 3 Story Alloy Flaying Building.
Amazing Video!
Unglaubliche Meisterleistung russischer Ingenieure ❤
The helicopter was designed by Marat Tishchenko
@@toxic-o1u то что он Тищенко это понятно и к чему это сказано тоже понятно только вот по маме он Голдберг
Ist das nicht doch eine russ. Kopie eines US Helis ?
Well then tell me which helicopter it was copied from if you think so.
So impressed with the hand crank to open and close the rear hatches.
Because you are really soy boy...
Hand crank drive is used only when there is no pressure in the hydraulic system.
Magnificent Beast!! Horribly Complicated!! The Pilots seem quite cool and relaxed!! I can't imagine the skill and intelligence it takes to fly this Monstrosity!
Same skill and intelligence set for every helicopter, only this one much bigger but the principle of flying remains the same.
It’s not complicated to fly from other helis
I’m sure it’s not so bad for the pilot now the maintainers on the other hand.
I like that they wrote danger in English.. yes ruskis be scared because we are dangerous
so scared that every time they do a close flyby, the media is full of headlines like "dangerous maneuvers", "intercepted near", "drop fuel at" ...
I’m digging the upholstery on the pilot and copilot’s seats
Looks like they used old couch cushions.
A really very impressive start of the largest helicopter, by itself the size is really awesome! And the view from the very top to the bottom. Crass! And of course, not to forget the sound of the start sequence, the engines, as well as the rotor blades and their flap flap flap! That's simply unique. In comparison, every other helicopter is a toy. Cool, according to the hammer, what fits into such a huge helicopter!
I can't believe how big those wings are!!!
I love watching the air refuelers at work!
This helicopter is so big that not only is it the biggest in the world but also the second biggest
as big as the MIL V-12?
When I worked ATC in Kandahar we had 3 MI-26's that operated out of the airfield. The MI-26 was a beast and always had to use the runway to take off.
Then it would require wings to take advantage of the laminar flow which causes lift .
I remember seeing one at Mt Hagen (PNG) airport in the late 90's. Just the size of the blades alone was crazy to see. It was massive. Sadly I didn't get to see it fly, but wish I had.
Grandma wants her couch cushions back!
Those grandma covers on the seats were to be expected 😁👍
If Grandma had a rotor, she'd be a helicopter.

Such video is a gift for aircraft lovers.
She's BIG and INCREDIBLE!! :D
Even though it was never built, it was built, huh? Quite a neat little trick
Lindo helicóptero 👍
What a BEAST👍🏾😎🤳
Me: "Oh yeah, that's a pretty big helicopter"
*sees guy straddling tail boom*
Me: "Oh damn, that's a REALLY big helicopter!"
Mammals know they are mammals ❤
I self identify as a reptile.
As an aircraft mechanic, I can tell this helicopter was built on a shoestring budget! I can see that they reduced the amount of aluminum used as there was only one Longeron at around head height, the crew chief pulled the entry door closed with it's rope and the landing gear don't retract nor are they faired.
Aside from that, I really like this aircraft! I would like to see an updated version where no expense is spared! The main rotor has very a smooth operation so it has a good foundation to start from!
I would like to see Longerons with approx 1 ft. separation running the entire length of the fuselage for greater strength; more windows, cargo tie down rails on the floor at standard widths apart so airline style seating can be installed when not being used for cargo as we'll as proper troop seating. It would be nice to have exterior landing gear pods so they can be retracted (main gear), an up to date glass flight display with an all weather suite package. The cargo bay as well as the whole aircraft needs to fully insulated with sidewall panels to cover all and a/c packs if it doesn't already have them! I would like to see all steel fasteners replaced with titanium to offset the additional added weight. Those are just a few changes to get started with.
An updated version of this bird could be one of the most useful and sold aircraft the world over!
What a Magnificent Dinosaur Mi -26!
Salute to the Russian innovative Genius.🇷🇺💙🇷🇺❤️
Soviet, not Russian
@@blackbird9813 Sooo Mercedes is made in EU not made in Germany
@@VerdoVeri EU is not a one country like Soviet Union, when was made mi26.
Ukrainian engines btw
@@gian.4388 as they say here, Soviet, not Ukrainian engines
Watching those POV jumps always brings back good memories
Simply amazing that it can carry 88.46% of its own weight… with them seats looking like my grandma’s couch covers😊
And this is where we stow the vodka. And over here we stow more vodka. And over here is where we stow the good vodka when we don't want anyone to find. We use that place to send vodka to our friends in the next city. Dos Vadania
Its a flying building!
So cool! 10:35
Das war echt mal ein total, ganz verrückter Prozess beim starten.
Nice to see grandma's touch on the upholstery seats
Woah those blades are massive
Nom.... De..... Dieu.... merci pour la vidéo❤❤
A fine quotation is a diamond on the finger of a man of wit, and a pebble in the hand of a fool.
Excelente Mestre !!!. Muito show !!! .

The word bolshoi comes to mind :)
That's one nice piece of kit.
I love the upholstery of the seats.
I have a similar routine starting my 1972 Hillman Avenger
Видел ее вживую. Даже не вращая лопастями эта машина вызывала состояние близкое к трепету... Надеюсь, они ещё служат людям😊
That is Massive😳👍
Luar biasa inilah yg disebut bangsa besar gak kaleng2 masalah teknilogi Rusia emang hebat...... saya dari Indonesia sangat mengagumi rusia....jayalah terus Rusia mantap
It was Soviet empire. With thousands of tanks and missiles but with no meat on shop shelves... I liked some soviet planes but none of them are used now because of high fuel consumption. USSR had unlimited oil supply.
Super guys all the way!
Thanks!!! Super Masin!!!
Fantastic❤
05:29 Music begins...😎
Thank's For Information.... 😊
Perfect video
Big nation...great people 🇷🇺🇧🇷
Very impressive.
I work at Entebbe international airport, and we have 2 of these, I've seen them fly and they're truly beautiful seeing them upfront
Wow this video I just went kind of everywhere after we got done with the biggest helicopter in the world
Superb video.
I like the rust free engine parts used to reduce maintenance. Old but with a clean engine.
Gees it is great to see!
Haha double hand salute when getting on the chinook
"Even though it was never built, the Mil V-12 prototype, which was built in 1967..."
Yeah, I noticed that too.
should say never manufactured instead
You beat me to it!
How to start: turn key, let it warm up a couple minutes, then fly. There. You can thank me later.
They probably meant: “Even though it was never put into production……”
I think this Belarusian helicopter is still of Soviet construction. On modern Mi-26, the entire cabin is already digital and the design already includes composite elements.
Yes, you are right.
While all her friends were positive that Mary had a sixth sense, she knew she actually had a seventh sense.
The right way is not always the popular and easy way. Standing for right when it is unpopular is a true test of moral character.
Shut up…. No one needs your quotes that are irrelevant you dumb fucl
“Ministry for emergency situations.” Sounds like something from Monty Python. 😂
Best of Best 👍
Such a beast
Bimmster's gallonder, ye can call this a chopper daddy'o !☝
👍👍👍 👍👍👍
I rode on 1 of these a couple of times in afghanistan when working for the Dutch Army.
The sound of those rotors must be wild!?
Merci 😘
Soon we will open the eyes of the whole world. cyberalism is a new formation , capitalism will disappear . And every citizen in his country will see corrupt criminals of the highest echelons of power .
Самый мощный и надёжный !
Id sure like to see the Photon Torpedoes in action , as they are fired.
great video
Legends 😎
Mantap👍
Thanks you
Wow! He was using a hand pump to open the aft cargo doors! Awesome! Who needs all of that extra weight added by a hydraulic pump! This way in the five minutes it takes to open the cargo doors the crew chief can get some exercise and scan the cargo bay for any maintenance issues!
A Stinger would have no problem knocking that out of the sky.
4:52 Nice gloves ... 😅
Massive Machine
The brocade fabric on the cockpit seats looks like the pattern off a 72 Chevy Caprice Classic.
What a job, flying around all day..
love this video
That river exercise reminds me of Reforger, a massive multi nation war-game I was involved in during my Army service in Germany in 80-81.
Brought back memories USAF 1977-1981 when I was a young Buck with my neck all swelled up!
That's my procedure of getting out of the bed and to my first cup of coffee.
Yes, but that upholstery! (joke... That's one hell of a beast.)
This type of aircraft is the most modern I have ever seen❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😮😮😮😮😮
Nice mix of old and new technology!! Lots of Analog Gauges and Digital Stuff!!
She can even interface with a Tablet or Notebook PC!!!!
How about that Loading Truck around 09:15?? That is just too cool!!
Amen Steve!!
The Garmin portable gps attached to the top of the navigation station lol
I liked their first two albums but changed my mind after that charity gig.
espectacular maquina el MI-26
인정한다. 정말 대단하다.
Excellent!!

Jumbo is really flying !! …;) Great job but now, a museum to find…
They finished building the road they knew no one would ever use.
