Quite a few soviet civilian aircrafts were just converted bombers and cargo transports. The government didn't think civilian aviation was all that important and decided that it was more convenient to convert aircraft. The reason their aircraft felt so spartan was because it wasn't ment to be an airliner.

Russian hospitality is an oxymoron. I should know, I live in Russia :)

@@tally1604 Don't confuse Russian hospitality and Soviet customer service, comrade.

@@mihan2d да ты что, а я не знал. Лапшу не вешай, плиз. Я здесь живу, знаю что почем. I live in Russia. I know what that hospitality is like first hand. Don't try to bullshit me, comrade.

@@tally1604 Я смотрю ты один здесь живёшь, больше вокруг тебя никого нет. С таким самомнением я не удивлён что тебе все грубят. I see you're the only one living there, no other living soul around. With that level of self entitlement I'm not surprised everyone is rude to you.

Suggestion…. Keep your shoes on.

@@Crazmuss lol i was literally about to write the exact same thing word for word 😂😂

i never take my shoes off. who the fuck takes their shoes off on a plane?

Wow, thanks for the insight Jim. Is it bad I actually would really like to have tried this Tupolev flight! Certainly edgy, but wow what an experience. Have you flown Aeroflot since?

​@@Trektrendy Unfortunately, the USSR did not allow photography near airports or on planes, so I could not document this part of my journey. I was grateful for the experience; it just added to the whole other-worldly, mid-80s Soviet experience. I have not flown Aeroflot since then; I think I would be disappointed by its normality, haha.

@@jimw2566 That's incredible that you got to experience it. Yeah, modern Aeroflot is a far cry from the Soviet rugged airline it used to be. These days Aeroflot competes as a four-star airline in the same league as Turkish Airlines, Lufthansa, Singapore, etc.

Bro the Tupolev TU-154 is the Russian version of DC-10 of course it lacked safety😂🤣.

Better if it breaks on the ground than in the air!

@@trainenthusiast7695 This applies to any aircraft, right?

@@francoisvillon1300 you never know, sometimes it breaks on the ground, sometimes it breaks in the air

@@trainenthusiast7695 sometimes it don’t break

by what law?

Looks like there will be no aeroflot soon.

Well if that is the price to pay to end russian imperialism i’m all for it.

Except the Chinese

@@Alex-pj8nz Not even the Chinese. Aeroflot's fleet is 95% made up of Airbus and Boeing planes. Both of those companies have revoked their service manual licenses from Aeroflot (as well as all other Russian airlines: good luck getting any cargo via air!), meaning they can no longer perform the mandatory maintenance to keep those planes operational. Even if they somehow managed to get their hands on these manuals (good luck with that), they cannot get the necessary spare parts: most airlines only keep enough supply of these to last them two weeks, a month at most. They also cannot service these planes abroad: Boeing and Airbus made it clear that any airline willing to supply the Russians with service manuals or spare parts will have their licenses revoked as well. To make matters even worse, Aeroflot does not actually own their planes: they lease them from shell companies in Ireland and Luxembourg. Those shell companies have since been seized, meaning that Aeroflot's fleet now belong to the Irish and Luxembourgish government And it's not just the Airbus and Boeing planes either: these Sukhois are now also the property of the Irish government. Aeroflot will not be able to fly to any EU destination without having their planes reposessed.

Agreed. That would be great along with a description of your meal. In any event, another great video!

Hey josh can you do Qatar airways from doha to Guangzhou?

Hi josh can you do london heathrow to Miami on virgin Atlantic in premium economy(economy delight)

Their fighter jets are even sexier)

the crashes?

I wonder if josh will go to India which I bet he won’t

Thanks so much for watching as usual my friend. Glad you like the content 😀

When he stops filming we will know what happend

What day is that

My pleasure, i'm super glad you enjoyed the video 😀

The tarmac was full of parked and stored stolen aircraft.

@@vulc1 knob

Yh exactly

2019 crash looks like both pilot and construction mistake. Several month after Sukhoi crash there was another incident in Russia. Airbus A321 hard landing in the field without gears, but everybody was fine.

@@DartLuke these accidents aren't really the same though

@@DartLuke 2019 crash was solely pilot error! As he said, the autopilot broke down, but the pilot still had full control over the plane, so - pilot, plane is still yours, land the plane on the ground, but as the regulations require! The pilot violated all safety measures during the landing - the maximum landing weight of the plane, the maximum flight speed during the landing, the maximum vertical speed ... and since he failed to break the plane from the first, he repeated it TWICE more times! An error in the construction of the plane !? All praise to the aircraft designers, they made an airplane that managed to withstand the actions of a jerk in the flight cabin twice, although international regulations require that the aircraft be able to withstand only once the actions of a jerk in the flight cabin...

​@@DartLuke There was time for a full evacuation, however it is reported that the passengers in the front of the cabin either ignored the instruction to leave their luggage behind or the instruction wasn't given by the crew, whichever the case there is pictures of the surviving passengers after the evacuation with their luggage, this slowed down the evacuation leaving the people in the back with a slimmer chance of going out before smoke made them pass out

At this point, even with all the issues with this plane, I'd still trust it over newer Boeing aircraft.

Thanks so much Michael

Since the 30s.

haha you know it my friend. Ripped jeans are very much my go to travel jeans now. I wonder how it's going to go down in ANA F next week 😂

Thanks so much for watching 😀 - next one coming right up

Means the world to hear you're enjoying my content. Thanks for watching and can't wait to share lots more with you on the channel

Haha it ran through my mind that they only fly to Poland every 3 days fromS Moscow. The thought of three more days stuck in transit, and in that hotel was a shocker haha. Thanks Steven. And I can't believe it but yes 10k in 3 weeks 😀

@@Trektrendy Hahaha, dude, and in that tiny closet they call a hotel room. Tbh though, you stuck in a Moscow Airport for 3 days, wandering around figuring out what the meaning of life is would've made for some good content on here. 😅

@@SjWhit haha well i'm off to Japan next week, I have a 10 hour layover in Tokyo, but could very well end up stuck if there are issues with transit. Perhaps in my video in two weeks this scenario will become a reality 😂

@@Trektrendy Goodluck and stay safe then dude! Look forward to the upload

You’ll have seen in the review I was complimentary about the seating, great legroom and overall solid product. I’ve already reviewed Aeroflots A350’in their new business class, you can find this video on my channel :) Thanks for watching

So it kills more comfortabely :D

@@mikasm3717 So much for Aeroflot.

хорошо 😂😂

More risky than flying, let's say, a "well designed" and "proven" B737MAX? 😅😅
