Immortal Regiment in the Sky! Mi-8, Mi-26, Mi-38 Helicopters Celebrate 80 Years of Victory πŸšπŸ‡·πŸ‡Ί

May 8, 2025
To mark the 80th anniversary of Victory Day, the "Russian Helicopters" holding organized a unique "Immortal Regiment in the Sky" campaign. Fifteen helicopters carrying portraits of 26 WWII heroes took flight across Russiaβ€”from the Far East to the Arctic. In one region, a helicopter bearing the image of Vasily Nikulin was piloted by his grandson, a current civil aviation pilot. In Kazan, the son of Soviet Union Hero Mikhail Devyataev, who famously escaped Nazi captivity, joined the flight. The event also honored other legendary pilots, including bomber ace Vasily Borisov and fighter pilot Nikolay Gulayev. The helicopters used in the tribute were produced at the same factories that built WWII aircraft, bridging history and modern aviation. #ImmortalRegiment #VictoryDay2025 #GreatPatrioticWar #RussianHelicopters #WWIIHeroes #Mi8 #Mi26 #Mi38 #SovietPilots #ROSTEC #HelicopterParade #WWIIAnniversary #Victory80 #RussianAviation #WarHeroes #UlanUdePlant #SovietAirForce #Devyatayev #NaziEscape #MilitaryTribute Be a Member for exclusive privileges - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCviEFTf1xIPKsjmyF_zvFug/join Twitter : https://x.com/AltitudeAddicts Website: https://www.altitudeaddicts.com
