Nice vid. Gorgeous aircraft.

Music was rubbish. Might be a Russian thing.

The Russian title is "Vityaz'" - doesn't really have an English equivalent, and Knight is closest.

Bogatyr?

Why haven't you said it before! I know the Bogatyrs!

I've met one from Khazakstan once, he was a Boratyr.

Oohhhh, shoot me.
