The funny thing is: All the really intelligent people in the soviet union, the ones who developed stuff like nuclear bombs and missiles and their decent ships?
They were Ukrainian, which is why they’re suddenly building hunter-killer drones in a cave out of a box of scraps.
Worked with Ukrainian engineers, I would not get on the wrong side of them for any money, Russia can throw as many of its children as it wants at their machine guns, this won’t end the way they think.
During the early '00 flight sim fans were enjoying a Russian game called IL2. The other offerings from Microsoft and Janes just couldn’t compete with the level of detail in the flight models. Turns out, the people working on the game were all trained in aerospace engineering. The guys who went to school to work for the famous Russian aviation firms were making video games instead because it paid better.
I mean yes, but probably only if you live in Russia:

Well, aerospace didn’t pay them well, but it definitely paid the oligarchs and shoigu.
