The TU-22, first supersonic b***er(can’t say it because of AutoMods) to enter production in the Soviet Union, a common problem was that the cockpit overheated so they used a large evaporator to cool it, that coolant was 40% ethanol and 60% distilled water… so vodka, the coolant was vodka.

Bonus: they could use the coolant as fuel in emergency 🤣
First supersonic long distance air to ground heavy ordinance delivery system?
Like uber, but for tyrants.
the YT channel “Mustard” has a ver good video about it
supersonic bitcher?
Flying loose and dangerous. 😄
I refuse to hate the Russian people despite Putin. We all know how these war games pit the common people against each other. Comrades once comrades always!
What word is censored?
Comrade Supply Sergeant: I have ordered 10000 litres of cockpit coolant.
Comrade Gate Guard: You are authorized to proceed with the 7500 litres of cockpit coolant.
Comrade Supply Driver: Confirmed, we have delivered 5000 litres of cockpit coolant.
Comrade Supply Corporal: Confirmed, we have shelved the 3000 litres of cockpit coolant.
Comrade Ground Crew Chief: I have seen the 1000 litres of cockpit coolant and we will supply the planes.
Comrade Ground Crew Grunt: Here is your half litre of cockpit coolant, Comrade Pilot.
Supersonic boner?
It’s Russian design, who would expect anything else other than vodka to be used as a coolant. Brilliant idea!
Probably not the strangest use for vodka in Russia
And hopefully Ukraine can destroy every aircraft Russia has 💛💙
How do you know “bomber” is an issue? These filters are pathetic.
What was the heatant?
