roguetechie Posted August 11, 2017 Report Share Posted August 11, 2017 who doesn't at least give the enforcer props for being both a sexy beast and a flying piece of American nostalgia hearkening back to simpler and better times... Or something like that It's not like Americans are the only people who do it, the early concept art etc that eventually evolved into the mi-24 gunship were basically just the il-2 in helicopter drag.

LoooSeR Posted August 14, 2017 Report Share Posted August 14, 2017 Quote The manufacturer of the Sukhoi Superjet 100 - Sukhoi Civil Aircrafts (SCA) - prepared the documents and sent an application to the Office for Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the US Treasury to approve the shipments of SS100 to Iran. This was reported to "Lenta.ru" in the SCA. "The SCA application is pending at OFAC. The term of its consideration is individual for each case and is not regulated" the representative of the company said. In early August, the United Aircraft Construction Company (UAC), which includes the SCA, responded to the request of "Lenta.ru" that the relevant package of documents is in the process of preparation. The holding explained that the approval of OFAC is necessary because of the presence of American components in the SSJ100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a result of the competition, the same number of prizes from the teams of Russia and China, in four competitions won ours, and in the other four - Chinese crews.
