The Shocking COLLAPSE of Russian Airlines

Video Description

February 2017. Two Airbus A340s take off from Athens, Greece. Flight plan filed for Kazakhstan. But as they cross into Iranian airspace, both jets disappear from radar. No mayday calls, no routing data. They simply...vanished. What unfolds next reveals how Russian airlines plan to survive the sanctions. Picture this: You're boarding a flight in Moscow, settling into your seat on what appears to be a modern Airbus jet. The cabin looks clean, the screens work, everything seems normal. But what you don't see is the terrifying reality hidden beneath the surface. The crucial navigation system beside the pilot? Smuggled into the country inside a passenger's suitcase. The engine powering your flight? Cannibalized from another aircraft sitting in a distant hangar, stripped like a donor organ. The brake system? Well, one of them hasn't worked properly in months, but the airline decided to fly anyway. What I just described isn't dystopian fiction. It's the reality for millions of passengers flying Russian airlines right now. This is the story of the dangerous and sad state of Russian aviation.
