- A Su-30 fighter and a Su-34 bomber have landed straight on the road in Rostov Oblast. An amazing footage. Look, the M-21 road is four times narrower than a conventional runway.
A pilot: "Reminds me of Gagarin's flight. It always feels good to be first. First, you execute the landing element when the aircraft touches the ground. Then you accelerate to the engine's maximum capacity and take off".
- Yeah, our pilots have done a great job. Since the times of the USSR, our roads have been engineered and listed in the strategic plans as runways. It's good we preserved the tradition and the system. One of the jets was landed by Commander of the 4th Air Army Lieutenant-General Sevastianov. Stanitsa Tatsinskaya, Rostov Oblast. 100 kilometers from the Ukrainian border. You get it — we're threatening them again.
