Rocket Birdy

Just stumbled upon this by accident on the webpage of Tune about their history (https://tune.de/inside-tune/geschichte/). Those were the 90ies...

That really ought to go to the Russians so they can bring their dwindling Mig fleet up to date.

I wouldn't fancy all that fuel just below me goolies! Asbestos underpants for sure!

As the guy seems to carry a backpack I am wondering if it's rather a parachute or more fuel... The text on the webpage says btw that the thing went 70kph and was in use until the frame broke after some time of racing through the black woods in southern Germany.

mmmm,I suggest you delve a little deeper.
Russian technology is now amongst the best if not the best worldwide.
Hypersonic rockets anyone?

When it works. Or how about a new Lada with all the safety technology missing, including airbags? And the Russian fighter pilots who have a Garmin taped to their instrumen panel as the onboard navigation equipment is so bad.

Kinzhal,Sarmat et Al.
The west has nothing near these badboys.
Whilst our politicians were sleeping Mr Putin was working.
A whole new world was born as the collective west had its head up its arse.
We are about to be returned to the days of our ancestors.

If you want to go further down this discussion route I'd suggest to switch over to https://naca.cyclechat.net/ - my intention was to post a funny picture of a 90ies Biry mod, not to start a discussion about politics. We just had an escalating discussion and that was about disc brakes. So at least about something on topic in this forum. Not keen on another one that is off topic and has way more potential to escalate quickly...

I'm sure comrade @tinywheels is heading there right now taking his tiny mind with him .
