#2 I'm just a fanboy for commie machinery and would love to hear from someone who actually knows, but it seems to me the main problem with Russian airframes is that they get sold to places like Africa and the Middle East where the concept of making sure all the pieces are screwed down tightly before takeoff has not exactly taken root. Inshallah, indeed!
