    An Mi-28N military helicopter has crashed near Russia’s Ryazan during an aerobatic display performed as part of the Aviadarts competition in the 1st “military Olympics” in Russia.

    One pilot managed to eject and his health is in satisfactory condition, but a second pilot died in the crash, according to Russia’s Defense Ministry.

    R.I.P

  2. Ironically, for me personally the country that has given me the most hassle when it comes to visa applications and generally just unfriendly service both when entering and leaving has been the USA.

    As an african myself :) I couldn't agree more : I have been denied a Schengen visa twice and the US application process is a lenghty one , but applying for a russian visa - at least in my case -was straight forward back in 2011 & 2013 : form + passport + voucher + 01 photo + $65USD....and that's it.

    ( now the russian embassy in Qatar is using the online application process but is not yet issuing the biometric visa )

  3. Hi dawestsides,

    Due to the current political tension MAKS 2015 is a NO GO.

    Hi Gabor , are you sure about it ? If I'm not mistaken you're from Hungary and your country just recently signed a huge nuclear contract with Russia.And as far as I know they are still processing visas for westerners as pointed by Mfezi , though the application should be made in person because the russian visa is now biometric ( finger scans required ).
