It’s like the Russian helicopter corps version of that Marilyn anecdote:
“Once this fellow says, ‘Marilyn, what do you wear to bed?’ So I said I only wear Chanel No. 5.’"

you mean flames from the engine of the apache as it tries to keep up with the hind
any flames from the hind are totally intentional and are probably just burning off any unwanted Vodka

Popular Soviet aircraft technician breakfast due to high alcohol content. Makes working on Hinds easier.
“Boot polish, for example, would be spread on a hunk of bread, which was then toasted. The alcohol in the polish would soak into the bread; the polish itself would crisp on the surface of the toast. You’d scrape off as much as you could, then eat the bread. The same could be done with some ethanol-based toothpastes.
Alternatively, take that polished bread, sit it on top of a glass of water over night, and then drink it, as a certain amount of alcohol will have infused it. And then eat the bread, hoping it hasn’t gotten mouldy in the meantime.”

Didn’t the Mig 21 have an alcohol cooled radar … over good times where had by their radar technicians … No comrades you cannot use your radar this flight, Ivan drank the coolant…

Alcohol evaporation cooling IIRC, and yes, supposedly it was used for other purposes.

Yes we sweat now comrade, but after landing, we party, da?

That’s actually a sad true story.
Sad mostly because it wasn’t drinking alcohol and many young technicians got very very ill for that.

I just skimmed it, and man that looks like a metric ton of fun. I can’t wait for the patch that gives Petrovich his voice. I hope they ask the guy who did the flight instructor for the MiG-19. He’s excellent.

I am quite impressed with everything Petrovich is going to be able to get up, even at this early in development. If they can get it all working well, it really will be a game changer in terms of multicrew A/C. I’d love to see something similar in the Gaz, as well as the upcoming Kiowa and Apache.

Sigh…I just caved in. I don’t even have my PC set up…silly silly 
The thing is, though - I already know that (unlike some other modules I’ve bought) I will 100% play the living babushkas out of this module.
I love flying the Hip and this thing is basically like the Hip except more badass…so at 30% off and a handful of miles, I will decree it is money reasonably well spent despite me not being set up for flying in the short term. 
I will see you in the skies of the workers paradise tavarits!

With our red hearts siging the songs of the Rodina we shall instill fear in those capitalist running dogs and theocrat barbarians!
Petrovich looks excellent to me. Perhaps, no quite likely more efficient than me in the front seat.

I have not been this excited about a module since the Tomcat. I cannot wait. I’m bursting to try it
