The Tu-22M3 goes bondu bashing. Stiff malt and new growbags all round, I'd venture.

That incident popped up on my Facebook feed earlier.

The pilots were lucky to walk away from that shunt.

Apparently it will be repaired & put back into service!!!

They build 'em tough in Russia.

I am certainly no expert but it didnt ever appear to accelerate properly. Also i have no idea what is at the end of the runway but the pilot looks like he steered off course. Would make sense if barrqcks or road at end of runway i guess but just seems strange.

Both ends of the runway are clear

[maffski]

Doesn't it wing clip it ILS array at the end of the runway?

So what happened to V1 and V2?

That will BUFF out.

[pushthebutton]

That's all sorts of wrong.

If they'd have gone off the end of the runway at a lower speed then it'd have been more understandable. The engines sound like they're still at a TO setting?

There's definitely a lot more to this one

[hammo19]

One hell of a way to cut the grass at the end of the runway

Non-Russian pilot on secondment didn't know what Wee1 and Wee2 meant.

[Krikkit]

Never really looks like it's accelerating quickly enough, can't believe they're repairing it with the damage in the photos!

V2 doesn't come into play until after Vr (Rotate).
