ooooyyyyyşşşhhhhhhhhhhhhh 

that would suck to ...

that would suck to crash

80% of ukraine ...

80% of ukraine population state themselves as russians. 98% of Soviet Union population during referendum required not to separate states. The is no democracy, since you see that the people point of view is ignored. Only idiots are like bender and others are taken into opinion. This means that trash tags itself for sanitazation operation and that is good.

you are not very ...

you are not very smart are you ?

Why Would Airbus ...

Why Would Airbus engineers dislike this?

No wonder the ...

No wonder the atmosphere on our planet is fucked up!! A few weeks ago my car got an MOT fail for exhaust emissions....these unnecessarily large aircraft really do take the piss!!

ITS BIG O_O

ITS BIG O_O

unbelievable that ...

unbelievable that something that big can fly.

And BTW "Einstein" ...

And BTW "Einstein" , it that plane would be profitable why only 1 in the world is flying? Wouldn't they be building those planes by the dozens by now, don't you think so Einstein?

Halloooo... It is ...

Halloooo... It is not MY problem, but Millions of soviets had to starve and live in slums to pay for it and USSR government that collapsed because of PROBLEMS like this one.

So what is your ...

So what is your problem then? It is used daily, they make a profit till it will fall out of the sky on day.

Hallooooo... Stupid ...

Hallooooo... Stupid! Antonov Airlines inherited that plane for FREE from USSR Government (except for $20 000 000.00 cost of re-activating it from storage in 1994). If they had to pay design and production cost they would've been out of business long time ago.

If flying this ...

If flying this contraption would cost more money thanthey gain with it would have been scrapped by now, don't you think so Einstein?

In English "bonus" ...

In English "bonus" means extra income (benefit). If you never even come close to breaking even with your production expenses, talking about "bonus" is ???????? And Americans transported their shuttle (which is actually heavier than Buran) using 747 without sinking billions of taxpayer money into building such monster.

It was merely built ...

It was merely built in order to transport the Buran. What the plane is transporting nowadays is a bonus.

I hate to be one ...

I hate to be one paying for the gas whit this prices.

"not so great ...

"not so great commercially"???? Ant-225 is total financial disaster! Only 2 were ever built (1 is currently cannibalized for parts), only one ever flown commercially. No chance to ever recover the cost of design, production, maintenance, etc.... Not even come close.

Thumbs up for ...

Thumbs up for Uncharted 3? :D

That's a big bird ...

That's a big bird but not so great commercially. As somebody who has handled an AN-225 turn I can tell you that it is both cost and labor intensive. You can turn a full B747-8F with 1/3 the manpower and no AC specific loading equipment. That being said, this machine is a wonder of soviet engineering.

why do I just get ...

why do I just get a green screen - no picture?

I wanna fly these ...

I wanna fly these mother fucken air ships.

Ukrainian designers ...

Ukrainian designers are very talented, ever since Sikorsky (Kiev-born American immigrant), who was a Ukrainian engineer. Designer Gagarin's launch was also a Ukrainian (Korolev).
