Where exactly IN THE PHOTOGRAPH are any words visible? The uniforms and possibly red colored star look Russian to me.
And aerostat is derived from Greek not Russian.
If you check the URL it comes from a Russian source.
The words were in the article. A poster asked me if the aerostat in the photo was Russian.
The uniforms and possibly red colored star look Russian to me.
Which was why I remarked about the Russian origin of the word.
And aerostat is derived from Greek not Russian.
Russians, Greeks,... they're all furreners who used to use a lot of aerostats, even back during WWI.
Do you know the Russian word for aerostat ?
