We were suposed to go to Zhukovsky for the show on the Saturday but Putin decided he was going then and nowne else could[ for security reasons]. So we had a spare day and Pat showed me o former Soviet base, soon to be built on. When we gotthere it was just a strip of ground about 200yahds surounded by chainlink fence encloking these aircraft. They were compleatly exposed to the elements and vandals.Now however the buildings done and the aircraft are gone.
One thing I would recomend you do is look up zhukovsky on ''google earth'' to see all the test aircraft that they used and left dumped around the base.
Anyway back to this post.

I always think it seems like a crime to let once proud aircraft rot like that, but Im very glad to see them before the cutters got them.
