MiG-25 on a Pedestal

Here is a MiG-25 in a town somewhere North of Moscow that I visited last summer.

A monument to the MiG-25.

The fastest and highest-altitude jet fighter in the world ever.

As of 2019, it remains the fastest mass-produced manned aircraft in operational service, and it has held that position since 1960s for over 50 years already!

I believe, it is capable of outrunning all known air-to-air and maybe even ground-to-air missiles and thus potentially escaping them even if they are aimed perfectly.

One of the few aircraft that was almost entirely made of stainless steel.

Dubna, corner of Tsentralnaya and Oktyabrskaya.

However, as regards operational status, remaining MiG-25s are operated only by Syria and Algeria, with Russia believed to have some in conservation.

Lada 112 Hood Art

Here is another Lada 112 (aka Lada VAZ-2112) which is a hatchback.

But only the no. 3 on blog so far.

About 14 years ago I did quite a lot of driving in a Lada 112 over a period of time or even several periods ending in 2008 and liked it too.

Nice hood (or is bonnet) pain job, I think.

The artifacts on the rear bumper almost match the hood paint scheme.

Tank Engine 9P-742

Here is a monument in Dubna, a city somewhere in Russia, and the monument is of a tank engine.

A former workhorse tank engine of the type 0-3-0, the 9P-742 was gifted to the city of Dubna by Russia's Railway Ministry in 2010.

A tank locomotive or tank engine is a steam locomotive that carries its water in one or more on-board water tanks, instead of a more traditional tender.

A tank engine may also have a bunker (or oil tank) to hold fuel. 

The interior of the Railway Station in Dubna, in front of which the monument is situated.
