What I find absolutely insane about hind is that its asymmetric left to right. It's whole fuselage is tilted to the right, but it's so slight that you can't see it. But it's good 2-3 degrees off the vertical.
>>34065153

There's got to be some technical reasoning behind this, there's no way it was accidental and went unoticed. I mean Russians are Russians, but still.
Perhaps it's so the pilot and gunner have more visibility to what's below the helicopter?
>>34065220

>>34065184
fuck, I can't unsee it now
>>34065200
>>34065211
It's weird that you even thought about something like this going unnoticed into production.
The reasons are, of course, aerodynamics, and the rotor rotating one way and not the other.
>>34065241
A lot of people on /k/ just assume everything Russian is shit and absolutely unusable and that the US tech is absolutely flawless and untouchable.
>>34065111
digits don't lie
>>34065153
Yep, you're right. I just confirmed it after a quick search, the fuselage aft of the cockpit is tilted 2.5 degrees to the right for engineering reasons, to compensate for rotor's rotary movement.
>>34065263
I think most are just trolling, or happen to be underage.

If the Slavs did anything right in aviation, it's the Flanker family. How many variants are there of this thing? A dozen?
I love they way it looks wit its graceful blended wings and long pointy nose, and I like that it's a 4th gen that they're still building brand new versions of.
>>34067001
>>34067322
>>34064671
That isn't functional, is it? How can the bolt possibly travel far enough back to pick up a round?
>>34067380
I forget the specifics but it is some straight up vodka magic. shit has a U-shaped bolt that travels up and down, and it ejects downward. korobov was a madman and I am pissed that the soviets rejected his designs, shit was cash.
>>34067795

>>34067380
Every time I see this question I have to wonder if I'm some kind of incredible super-genius or something like that. I'm not calling you dumb, but just giving the design a glance I came up with this:
Bolt carrier goes back, catches carrier/link/bar, forward cycle drags round with it, second cycle back drags that round up and into position, (and pulls another from the magazine) forward cycle puts that round into battery.
So instead of racking the bolt once to chamber a round on a fresh mag, you just rack it twice. I really don't know how a guy who's looked inside a gun couldn't come to the same conclusion.
>>34070075
Racks once.
Mag feeds directly into chamber.
>>34070122
You missed the point completely, what part of "at a glance" do you not get?
I looked at it, and without even researching I figured out a way to make that magazine position work. That isn't how it works, but that's how it *could* work.
>>34070122

>>34067001
Aerodynamically, the thing is a fucking masterpiece. Nothing in the world compares to how it's designed, and nothing else in the world (other than maybe the T-50, YF-23, and some other prototypes) comes close to having a full, true blended wing-body design like the SU-27 does.
It's a shame their electronic suites and radars are dog dick. Maybe the US should buy the design and slap some AESA radars and shit into them.
Oh man... now I need to see an SU-27 done up in USAF colors...
>>34070075
What would be the point of such a mechanism, though? You wouldn't make significant improvements on overall length because you'd still need one round length between the magazine and the breech, you'd just move the mag well farther back in the stock
>>34064767
>very fast tank moving at incredibly hihg speeds
Make it so. But change tank to the name of the vehicle, because I'm sure some people wouldn't even call that a tank
>>34073600

That'd be a fuck of a malfunction to clear

Hey, for all I know Ivan had a little too much vodka and stuck the cockpit of a hind onto an apc.
>>34074154
Vodka fuelled conversions usually end up looking like this.
>>34074322
>>34073605
I don't know. What would be the point of how it actually works anyway?
It seems they put the magazine that far back as an ergonomic decision and not because it was strictly necessary. If I wanted to have !!maximum barrel!! I'd probably make the bolt as short as absolutely possible so that portion of the carrier was also short. Then I'd move all the spring and buffer hardware forward of the breech, probably have a long piston connected to the carrier and make the piston act as a spring guide rod.
I think I'd still need to tug the rounds out twice, but just move the one in limbo slightly below and behind the breech instead of behind the bolt. Yeah the magazine would sit lower, but if we're doing that I could put the magazine at any goddamn angle I wanted since it doesn't have to line up with the axis of travel with the bolt.
I don't know, I hate the AK. I'd rather have a system that feeds from the top and uses a straight, double-stack magazine that inserts from the front and sits nicely right under the irons. Built-in round counter right next to rear aperture too. I don't like hammer guns so I'd probably give it a striker so I could have a recocking function if you short-stroked the bolt just out of and into battery. Have it open like an AR, make the FCG able to be swapped out as a complete part. I'd also want a transfer bar able to activate some type of underbarrel thing, shotgun, GL, whatever, and when not in use it just sits idle. Ideally I'd want the rounds to eject down and through a channel, (so lefties can use it too) give provisions to include a canvas brass catcher that can be quick-detached and tightened using a strap so guys can easily police brass without the bag rattling too much.
I would also try to duplicate parts so one thing could be used somewhere else. Springs, pins, bars, levers, anything I could get away with just to reduce bullshit for a guy in the field and manufacture costs.
That's all I can think of off the top of my head.
>>34072474
That's the wrong guess, here are the basic official designs - it's a tilting bolt extended carrier mechanism

close. It ejects rounds forward of the barrel, not downward.
>>34073605
>What would be the point of such a mechanism, though?
it produces ridiculous accuracy out of a really short barrel and makes the gun incredibly easy to control. The AKM was allegedly BTFO by the TKB-022PM during testing while being significantly shorter in length.

The US shouldn't buy it. They should just blatantly copy it the way the USSR did with the B-29 and the way the Chinese do with every single thing they have.

I still can't get over the idea of commies actually having their own techno. I mean their music was produced through a centralised ministry of culture, some 4-star general who fought in WW2 would have so sign off on all these weird beeps and boops the kids are listening to for the music to actually get mass-produced.

>>34080864
Its not here. Growing up I was surprised as fuck that Tetris was Soviet. I thought the Politburo would kidnap all videogame programmers to install copies of Missile Defender on their A35s. The thought they even made vidya games was odd, but I think that was just the culture of the 90s United States

heres the thing
the US is to spend as much money as possible, for the worst possible shit that money will buy in order to pad the MIC and ensure more tax fleecing in the future
the russians want to build the best shit possible for the money
the problem is the US spends so much more that it reaches a point the US stuff is better, even though they are aiming to be as costly and shitty as possible

>makes you really wonder if they know literally anything about the USSR outside the memes they've read on /k/
I seriously doubt most anons on /k/ know anything beyond memes. The "illiterate conscript" meme gets regurgitated constantly even though the Soviet Union had an >85% male literacy rate by the mid-1930s. Hating on the commies is the hip thing to do now, regardless of whether the criticism has any basis in reality.
Story time, in the early 80's, the USSR commissioned a serie of rocket-launching ships, amongst them the "Ukraina" being built for the black sea fleet. As the construction went on, the USSR crumbled and disappeared, leaving the almost finisehd ship docked in Sebastopol. Ukraine bought the craft, but the uniforms and caps had already been produced. Nowadays, if you're looking for soviet surplus, you might come across one of these, (next post), made in Kiev in 1988, only to fall into the hands of dirty capitalist pigs.
