The network has shown a video of an unusual competition of military pilots. The speed of the combat vehicles was contested by a Su-24 front-line bomber and a Mi-8 multi-purpose helicopter.
The shooting was conducted from the helicopter cockpit. At the start of the runway, the Su-24 waited for the Mi-8 to line up with it, and then began a calm acceleration without afterburner. The fighter overtook the helicopter without even taking off from the runway
According to the basic characteristics of the vehicles, it is clear that the Su-24 has no chance against the helicopter. The maximum speed of the Mi-8 is 250 km/h, while the Su-24 can accelerate to 1700 km/h.
Earlier www1.ru reported that the Akhmat armored vehicle survived the attacks of seven kamikaze drones and drove to the rear on three wheels.
