Warsaw needs to watch out.

Friend of mine flew AH-64 - he would show me pics of how far out he’d go - just a bit off the tarmac just in case

He was a test pilot

Crazy stuff - up to 10,000 feet (IIRC) - engine OFF or idle / disengaged (?)

Count the auto-rotate revolution rate

I bet colonel Vitaly Tabachnikov wished he was on that chopper.

I get that this is in Siberia or someplace, but do they get a lot of intense snowstorms in July?

Have you watched the video? No snow. That was added for sarcastic effect.

Sounded like they said Allahu akbar at the end of the video.

That guy standing there while the rotor disintegrated is an idiot. Shrapnel really flies after a major rotor hit.
