This final episode of the series is not about a single aircraft – it's about the afterlife of Soviet aviation. The Su-27s and MiG-29s that serve in over 30 nations. The An-124s that carry cargo for Western companies. The Tu-95s that still bomb Ukraine. The air museums from Monino to Kiev. And the question that remains: Was Soviet aviation a triumph of engineering or a monument to waste? In this full-length episode: 🇺🇦 The Divorce – Ukraine vs. Russia – After 1991, the Antonov design bureau stayed in Ukraine. The Sukhoi and MiG bureaus stayed in Russia. We trace how the breakup crippled both – and why Russian jets now use Chinese components. 🌍 The Export Legacy – The MiG-21 (most produced fighter of the jet age). The Su-27 (China's J-11). The Mi-8 (the world's most common helicopter). Soviet designs became the default air force for dozens of nations – from India to Vietnam to Venezuela. 📉 The Lost Designs – The planes that died with the USSR. The Su-47 Berkut (forward‑swept wing). The MiG 1.44 (Soviet stealth fighter). The unfinished An-225 number two. Could they have changed aviation history? 🔥 The Revival – Putin's New Builds – Tu-160M (new Blackjacks). Su-57 (stealth fighter). But are these Soviet or Russian? We argue that the last true Soviet design was the Su-27 – everything since is an upgrade or a compromise. 🏛 The Final Tribute – Where to See Soviet Aircraft – The Central Air Force Museum in Monino. The UMMC Museum in Verkhnyaya Pyshma. The Kiev State Aviation Museum. The surviving An-225 remnants (Hostomel). A guide for the aviation pilgrim. ✨ Conclusion – The Red Star in the Sky – Our narrator signs off with a reflection on Soviet aviation: the arrogance, the brilliance, the crashes, and the glory. The wings of the Red Star may never fly in formation again – but their shadow is still on the world.
