Speaking of soviet 'copters, the Mil Mi-26 cracks me up. It's like a mobile crane -

You prolly know this, 'bl00, I'm just posting for all those hubski lurkers out there. Bonus: Even bigger helicopter that never saw mass production.

The V-12 is charming and all, but the Russians were clever enough to stop flying it when they feared for their lives. If you wanna get real, it's all about the Piasecki helistat.

And in case you were wondering, no the Americans didn't stop in time.
