    That’s disgusting.

    I suppose they don’t believe in even attempting to improve. Not a place I’d want to live.

        The Antonov An-225 Mriya was made in 1985 in the Soviet Union, modern day Ukraine.

        It’s a one off plane with the largest wingspan, largest weight, and largest load bearing potential.

        It ran all the way to 2022 when Russians bombed it out to cripple Ukraine’s economic abilities, as it was the only plane that could carry many loads the distances it did, at a rate of travel much faster than freight ships.

        Anyway, to say that nothing was innovated or improved under communism is blatant propaganda.

          I hear good things about their space program too (Grumpop worked at Thiokol so he probably knew what he was talking about here). I hear they’re also good at building wooden ammo.
