—”I get that this is in Siberia or someplace, but do they get a lot of intense snowstorms in July?”
Sometimes.
Yakutsk is the capital city of Sakha, Russia,ocated about 450 km (280 mi) south of the Arctic Circle.
Yakutsk has an average annual temperature of −8.0 °C (17.6 °F),[10] winter high temperatures consistently well below −20 °C (−4 °F), and a record low of −64.4 °C (−83.9 °F).[11] As a result, Yakutsk is the coldest city in the world.[12]

There were two of these incidents both destroying the copter and killing the crew.

—”I didn’t think the people in Poland were that tall.”
I worked with a Korean, 6-4+, and well-muscled.
He came here as an infant and said, a steady supply of nutritious food and training; was all it took.
Pilot error never happens in US forces. There must not be more that 10,000 pilot error accidents on our side.
But nice try from the Uke/Pole clowns.
—”That guy standing there while the rotor disintegrated is an idiot. Shrapnel really flies after a major rotor hit.”
YES!
I see his arms moving???
What is he to do, the only choice is shite or go blind.

Russia finding excuse for another Katyn incident.
Make sure that every time you see something that you feel is negative about or insulting to Russia, that you throw in something negative or insulting about the Americans.
I recall flying in Viet Nam from Hiep Duc in the I Corps highlands to Tam Ky on an Air America helicopter. We were socked in by monsoon weather, and what was for me a novel experience, we seemed to be flying blind. After about fifteen minutes during which I figured I was going to die, the co-pilot finds land below. And we flew at no more than fifty feet back to Chu Lai. All the way I kept wondering, what if there’s a pagoda ahead? Thank God, I never flew again in a chopper in foggy or monsoon conditions.
Me and some of the fellows sat on a military airstrip in Germany for three days trying to get a helicopter ride to a French base in France while Europe aviation was shut down due to fog, when a couple of pilots finally volunteered and we got the ride I was amazed at what flying in zero visibility was like.
Flying when you can’t see your hand in front of you is a little unnerving, I don’t know what it used to be like for the pilots but they were sort of nutty for pilots.

I had heard that God created alcohol to keep the Irish from taking over the world.
The times have clearly changed.
1. Russian Males 16.29%
The accident in the video was interesting. The narration was pretty stupid, implying that Russians can’t fly aircraft…. and ended with some stupid Ukrainian jibberish.
I suspect the commentator is not a pilot.
Besides I like insulting Ukrainian Nazi idiots.
You insulted America because you felt Russia was looking bad in this stupid accident.
No, I was stating a fact and insulting the slobber Ukrainian idiot who made the video into something besides a normal aircraft accident video. Now go away.
And of course, quickly you rise to defend the honor of Ukraine. Lol
You really just make things up out of thin air, a lot, for instance, pretending not to recognize the words America and American.
As I said, make sure that every time you see something that you feel is negative about or insulting to Russia, that you throw in something negative or insulting about the Americans.
BTW, what I've heard about the Irish is that we don't die; we just wear out like a pair of pants.
