I finally found the time to upload the photos I took at MAKS 2007 :) (International Aviation and Space Salon).
I'll start with American aircraft, then move on to domestic ones. So, here we go:
1. American strategic bomber B-52. It has been in service for over half a century and is constantly being modernized. It has seen action in almost every conflict involving the United States, including Vietnam and Iraq.
2. American multirole light fighter F-16. One of the best in its class, it is in service with many countries.
3. The same aircraft.
4. American F-15, an all-weather tactical fighter designed for air superiority.
5. And this is a French aircraft, a "Mirage."
6. Unfortunately, I couldn't get a clear shot of the pilot's face. There were crowds of people trying to get the pilot's autograph, which made it difficult.
7, 8, 9. The Russian aerobatic team "Swifts" on MiG-29 fighters. Unfortunately, I couldn't get good pictures with my point-and-shoot camera with a 3x optical zoom. These are the best I could manage.
10. Russian attack helicopter Mi-28.
11. Ka-50 "Black Shark." I don't think this helicopter needs much introduction; everyone, even the least informed person, should have heard of it. It is designed to destroy enemy equipment, air targets, and personnel on the battlefield.
12. Long-range strategic bomber Tu-95 (if I'm not mistaken). By the way, it is the closest analogue to the American B-52 (see photo 1) and is also a long-serving aircraft.
13. And this is the Tu-160, the heaviest bomber in the world, and one of the few bombers that can fly at supersonic speeds. The aircraft can carry nuclear weapons and cruise missiles.
14. And again, the Mi-28.
15. Mi-24 - a transport-attack helicopter. It was actively used in Chechnya. The helicopter also set a speed record, if I'm not mistaken, 360 km/h without weapons.
16. Su-34 - a domestic fighter-bomber.
17. MiG-29.
18. Su-33 - a carrier-based fighter.
19. And finally, the last photo - the Tu-144, a supersonic passenger airliner.
