Why is the Canadian Navy as out of shape as I am?

Cool it with the racial and homosexual epithets, people.

I found Serb's youtube channel:

Wow! You've found a single among many parameter to be proud of? Good for you.

I found the most important parameter for a helicopter that will be transporting troops to combat zones in Afghanistan. As I said, it's no wonder Russia lost that war; Russians aren't smart enough to know what capabilities in their equipment are important and which aren't.

cause additional 1000m in service ceiling is the last thing what a cargo chopper needs to be a sucessfull design.

Thanks for proving my point.

You are welcome, sir moron.
Looks like your military people know capabilities of their equipment much better then you do. And whenever your ("better than Mi-26") Chinook is in deep sh!t, guess what they do then?

They call Russians.

In spring 2002 a civilian Mi-26 was leased to recover two U.S. Army MH-47E Chinook helicopters from a mountain in Afghanistan. The Chinooks were being operated by 10th Mountain Division and had been employed in Operation Anaconda, an effort in early March to drive al Qaeda and Taliban fighters out of the Shahi-Kot Valley and surrounding mountains. The Chinooks ended up stranded on the slopes above Sirkhankel at an altitude of 8,500 and 10,300 feet. The Chinook stranded at 10,300 feet was deemed too badly damaged to recover, but the other one at 8,500 feet was repairable. With all fuel, rotors and non-essential equipment removed the Chinook was estimated to weigh 26,500 pounds, too much for the Army's heavy lift helicopter, the Chinook, which could only lift 20,000 at 8,500 feet. An Mi-26 was located through Skylink Aviation in Toronto, which had connections with a Russian company called Sportsflite that operated three civilian versions of the Mi-26 called Heavycopters. One of the aircraft was in Tajikistan doing construction and firefighting work. The aircraft was leased for the recovery of the Chinook for $300,000. The Chinook was snatched with a hook and flown to Kabul, then later to Bagram Air Force Base in Parvan, Afganistan for shipment to Fort Campbell in Kentucky for repairs.

Six months later a second Army CH-47 that had made a hard landing 100 miles north of Bagram at an altitude of 4,000 feet was recovered by another Heavycopter operated by Sportsflite at a cost of $350,000.

You can't win in Afghanistan. And on of the reasons for that is that you have no brains to build such machines as Mi-26.

Cool it with the racial and homosexual epithets, people.

**** you, Jew ******

Cool it with the racial and homosexual epithets, people.

Did you at least appreciate the irony of using a racial slur when berating Serb for using a slur word for gays?

[KrazyHorse]

**** you, Jew ******

Is this supposed to be funny?

[Lorizael]

**** you, Jew ******

There you go. Let it all out. And then don't do that again in this thread.

Did you at least appreciate the irony of using a racial slur when berating Serb for using a slur word for gays?

I did indeed.

[Kitschum]

Is this supposed to be funny?

Is this supposed to be a question?

[KrazyHorse]

It was a question.

[Serb]

Nice try, Serb. We all know Russia is where all of the gay porn comes from, not Canada.

Speak for yourself. I don't care a thing about gays or their porn. And have no idea where it comes from.

[Serb]

LOL at Serb's "world's largest submarine" comment.

What's so funny?

[Asher]

Ignorance is bliss.

[Serb]

With regard to gay porno it really is.

[Asher]

What I know about the mass production in Russia of gay porn would shame and terrify you.

[Serb]

But I don't care.
