Episode 122. Off road on a plane

In this episode of Combat Approved, we’ll show you what many would consider crazy: the heavy IL-76 transport aircraft landing on a field covered with snow! And we are talking about an ordinary field, where there is no concrete, no tarmac, where grass grows in summer. Almost no one in the world performs landings in such extreme conditions for heavy aircraft, except for the Russian pilots of military transport aircraft. What’s more, you will see how such landings are performed at night, for example, at our country’s northernmost snow-covered airfield on Franz Josef Land. That is where the film crew of Combat Approved will go today. In addition, journalists will visit Tver, Orenburg, Arkhangelsk, where the pilots will show all their capabilities, performing takeoffs and landings in the most extreme road conditions: on the snow, grass, ice and even on the glacier of the most northern and most secret airfield on the military base on Franz Josef Land. #Russianmilitarypower #Russianmilitary #milit
