Soviet relics

[stek]

Here's some amazing photography by me of a Soviet relic, it's the MIG-15 (or 21) outside Chelyabinsk Airport, I knew it was there from a previous trip and I was determined to snap a pic, I mean compose a materpiece from the car window as we passed.

Note the way I skillfully captured old (the MIG), and new (the red car) and emphasised the MIG's sleek lines by almost completely losing it behind an advertising hoarding pillar.

Amazing talent.

The third picture down is not Soviet. It is in Bulgaria. (BBC got it wrong)

Some other pictures are not "Soviet" and are heavily doctored.

That'll never fly.

Well the hangar roof fell on it, due to just leaving it and not maintaining it.

It only flew once, remotely-by-wire, which is something the US orbiter couldn't do.

Here's what's left of 'Buran' - the Soviet Space Shuttle, which looks totally different to the US Space Shuttle, just a the Tu-144 'Concordski' looks nothing like Concorde.

Complete coincidences.
