When it comes to Ladas, it can go both ways. While the Lada Project C, looks like a nice car, sometimes the Lada designers can still get things quite wrong. Well, it seems like they have hit a jackpot with Lada C-Cross. Yes, this could potentially be the next Lada crossover. Since Lada is a Russian car manufacturer, the timing remains to be one of the bggest problems. Russian manufacturers often make one car prototype and tour it through car shows for years, before the car ever gets put into production, or maybe not put into production at all. Lada claims that they will make sure that Lada C-Cross gets on the roads in 2012, so lets wait and see…

We had recently posted a story about the IL-76’s bigger brother, IL-86 and it’s sometimes shockingly long take off rolls. As we had said then, the late take offs are often a direct outcome of short runaways, high temperatures, high humidity, and heavy cargo loads. Here is a video from Australia, which as you can see was another extremely close call for the Russian airplane and it’s crew…

This video had surfaced online, of six men pushing the huge AN-124 airplane which weights well over 150 tons. Many people in the online community had assumed that Russians are so strong that they don’t even need powerful tugs to pushback their airplanes.

p.s. If you got goodies that you think will be interesting to others, please send them to us!!!
Two unusually happy (for Moscow traffic) middle aged men had been spotted driving through Russia’s capital. As you can see by the stickers on the car, they are from Holland which might hold a clue as to why, out of all places - they chose Russia as the destination for their open air trip…

We already showed you a funny clip of a Russian news anchor mess up live. Now here is a new one, this one is so much more worse than the previous though, since in the previous clip the news anchor simply misread the word. This clip on the other hand, shows a news anchor not being able to pronounce a word “Undisciplined”, she tries once, she tries twice, then she simply ignores the word and moves on…
